Alex, et al, I am going to install a hard drive for the Atom board, so at this point I can load any version of Linux. Is there a particular distro which is best for building kernels? Debian Lenny instead of Ubuntu for example? Thanks, Eric Remember they (Ubuntu) use their own source package, wh

Also, for atom (in order execution) it is necessary to have nicely compiled code. Not sure how much the following helps, but you may want to try it: "-O2 -fno-reorder-blocks -fno-reorder-functions" Also, this is news to me :D "GCC 4.2 introduces a new -march option, -march=native, which automatical

Mario, Thanks, I guess I will need to plug a hard drive into the Atom 330 system, since the development machine is a core 2 duo. I did a lot of work shrinking the Linux install on the Atom as small as possible (4GB flash drive), and have not yet figured out how to take an image of it so I can put

I guess the P6 should be generic enough... I searched a lot but no definite answer, other than the Atom uses SSE2, so "P6" should have enough performance and compatibility with all architectures (the default on many builds). These are important ((only?)) to make performance optimisations for a spec

Atom is NOT "Core2" architecture!!! Atom is 45nm Silverthorne, minimalistic, low-powered, low-performance CPU that has the lowest common denominator of any parts needed in a CPU. 1.6GHz Atom has about the power of a Celeron 220 or less. You need to pick a different, proper architecture first, Wikip
