[Soekris] Serial
How do most people here deal with adding a second external serial connector? Does everybody just grind out a section of the case? Has there been any discussion of the standard case including a punchout spot for the second serial port? ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
[Soekris] CF card not recognised on net5501-70 (again...)
Hi list, I known that a recurring problem but it's still unsolved for me. When I use the latest net5501-70 boards that I've received (071102) with COMBIOS V1.33 the CF recognition spends about 30s and the CF is always recognised as Primary Master. Then I tried to upgrade (V1.33b) or downgrade (V1.32i) COMBIOS without succeed. I also changed FLASH parameter in COMBIOS without effect. I always have a grub error (25) after the fastidious CF recognition with COMBIOS v1.33b but if I enter in COMBIOS and type 'reboot' everything works fine. That's a major issue because no null-modem cable is connected in our use-case. Moreover, if I use the same CF on older board (070422) everything works fine from the 1st boot attempt. That looks like as an hardware issue (CSEL pin or something else) but Wim told me that's purely software. Now, I'm very confused and I hope someone can help me. Thanks.

I'm using the cases from http://kd85.com/ ; some of them have proper holes for both SubD 9 connectors. Pictures of those cases are on KD85's homepage. Regards Andreas Schweigstill -- Dipl.-Phys.

Re: [Soekris] cloning CF cards on OpenBSD 4.3
if you want to copy between cards of different sizes, check out growimg.sh from flashdist which handles fdisk, disklabel, newfs, and tar file copy it assumes a specific disklabel layout, but you could easily change that Lars Nood??n [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've got an OpenBSD 4.3 system on 1GB CF that I would like to clone to another CF.

[Soekris] Fwd: Serial
Soekris also sells serial cables on a PCI bracket now :) On Wed, May 14, 2008 at 7:05 PM, Guy F.

I neatly fold the cable in the case so that it JUST puts the connector at the lip of the back, then CAREFULLY slide the case over it. The 1's and 0's do seem to come out flatter, but the Soekris apparently can straighten them out internally before passing to my OS. ;) and if you're doing a net5501 with the standard case and you're not stuffing the add-in card slot, check out www.pccables.com or similar. Part # 07121 (DTK) or part # 07106 with your own stuffing works here just dandy. ( and if you're being creative with where the stuff on the add-in card terminates, you might even be able to use them *with* an add in card, who knows. ) They also have some filler panels with the 9 pin port shape punched out twice for a 2-up arrangement for a USB serial and a legacy serial side-by side -ish ( sorry part number not handy ) Thread the bottom of the filler panel with an 8-32 tap and you can use the hole cover screw on the end close to the board for a nice snug fit.
