I was right about the kernel code for making the leds work, I have
managed to get it working. It creates an object for each led in
/sys/class/leds and each led contains a brightness object which can be
manipulated to change turn the leds on and off... now I just have to
work out how to automate that with udev. The same code also includes the
objects for the onboard button, but I'll be buggered if I know where to
start with that one yet. I can see it has been found and that the
interrupts are being detected when it's pressed though :-)
I'll knock up a page with some information / downloadable files and put
up for this, once I've moved this all forward a bit.
Thanks
Dave

Hello everyone,
I've installed ARMedslack onto one of these now.

It doesn't mention the onboard flash memory there, but it also has
512MB of flash built in.
It's a Marvell Orion board inside, complete with the header for a TTL
to USB serial console.
The console can be rigged like this http://doip.org/iconnect_console
I've recompiled the kernel to include the following options: (Could
these be added into the standard ARMedslack kernel config please ?)
> CONFIG_RT2800PCI=m
> CONFIG_RT2800PCI_RT33XX=y
> CONFIG_RT2800PCI_RT35XX=y
However it probably only requires the first of them. This has made
the onboard Ralink wireless adapter available.
I'm trying to hack the mapower architecture code changes into the
kernel code to get the pretty LEDs working, but have had varying
degrees of success with that so far, I think I've got the code in and
working, however I've yet to figure out how to control the LEDs. So
I'm hacking away at the default (flash) image (debian 5) to try and
figure out how they've done it. It looks like they're controlling it
with a closed source binary atm.
The Sheeva Plug install instructions work for the install.
Anyway, other than that it works well, and it's a cheap device :-)
Thanks
Dave
