Hi Kerry,
I have read our conversation again and you said that you can sync the
ixp etch packages with voyage x86 version. I would like to know further
on how you can get this done? Are you just overlaying the ixp (or
armeb) etch packages on top of x86 images?
I am very much appreciate that you would like to offer further help for
non-x86 voyage, and we may discuss the detail further. But at this
moment, the only way to get non-x86 voyage supported is that I will need
to know the detail on how to build the image so that I can incorporate
it into my auto-build process. You can also make use of the wiki to
document you experience for your Gateworks port of voyage.
Regards,
Punky

I had been talking to Punky about An arm port, at the time he didnt
have a board to test it on, but I built up some images, and Have, i
guess what you can callan
Unofficial Port of Voyage to The Gateworks boards, with the cf slots..
Thanks

I have an associate locally who is manufacturing a custom XScale
platform running Linux. He believes he could hit the cost bogey
folks are looking for depending on memory requirements but wants to
know what developer interest there is in porting Voyage to this
platform. He could provide some boards in a fairly short time for
testing/development if the interest is there with an initial
production run as early as sometime this summer.
Going back to the earlier discussion on this list, there probably
should be a low-end board, ~$50-$70, for client use but a more
expensive one, say $100-$130 range, could easily be justified if
that's what it takes to get the additional functionality an
AP/router/DNS/DHCP server requires. After all, an AP with even 20
clients is going to pay for the additional one-time cost in a few
days operation.
My personal choice is a single mini-PCI slot client and a three slot
AP, two for 5.8GHz backhaul in and out and one with a 2.4GHz AP.
Does anyone know what processor PC Engines is going to use in their
upcoming ARM9 product? What success have any list members had in
running on XScale?
Does anyone have a wish list of what features are needed in a low
cost CPE?
I'm not expert at board manufacture but am intrigued by the possibly
*very* low power consumption implied here for possible solar or
wind-generated power source installations. Being divorced from
reliance on the local power company would be a great advantage for
site selection.
Edwin
