serial i/o interface instead of the PCI bus. You can strap the ESBA-285 as a non-host and
plug it into any pci bus slot. The ARM Toolkit works well with the ESBA-285. You might
be able to get the toolkit very cheaply if you contact GiGi at the ARM sales office in California.

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. For a design project through school
my team and I would like to work on Linux on the EBSA-285 board. We want to work
with low power applications and thus our interest in ARM. We would like to purchase an
Intel EBSA285 but the local firm that Intel resells through is trying to push development kits
and backplanes and enough other things to add up to several thousand dollar bill.
I was wondering, of those of you who use the EBSA what hardware is really needed
to boot and run Linux? Also if there are any distributors that could be recommended our
local one would like to pad their sales but trying to take advantage of students. I have downloaded
the EBSA patches from the ARM site and we have a Linux box that will do little but serve
the EBSA so I kinda doubt we need the development kits but any experienced advice would
help and be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
