They're Winterminal boards, so they don't necessarily need CMOS settings.

Question. If an embedded board has no battery backup, it should have no
(usable) CMOS. Therefore, is a "Normal" image required on such a system? My
understanding is that CMOS settings are required to force the Fallback image to
boot, except in cases of an missing or corrupt Normal image.

Ron,
I don't know when the change occurred, but in the 2.6, it won't setup the IRQ
router without a patch.

Hi,
I'm missing something obvious and need someone to point me in the right
direction.
I'm finishing up mapping IRQs on a CS5530 winterminal board I've got. I know
the IRQ mappings of each on-board device and slot, and I put together my
irq_tables.c accordingly. However, only the first 2 entr

Thanks for the updated 5530 code!
However, I'm having some difficulty enabling the IDE controllers when
using this patch. As far as I can tell, configuration parsing doesn't
appear to work for new ideX_enable flags.
The 'register "ide0_enable" = "1"' configuration option seemed to have
no effe

Hi,
I'm making progress getting LB working on a Geode GX1-based winterm.
I'm getting very close to creating a new target for this terminal, but
for the moment am working with the eaglelion/5bcm target, as it's nearly
identical.
So I thought I'd try the new CS5530 code from last month, but I'm ha

Well, after many months I'm back to working on mapping IRQs for the

First issue is flashrom. I've been swapping BIOS chips until now, but I

So I'm back to working on getting LB on my Geode-based MaxTerm 230 thin
client again. I've built a test image from the Eaglelion 5bcm target
that boots this machine. However, IRQ mapping is not working. I have
no doubt that is because the MaxTerm differs from the 5bcm. :-)

AMD provides an OSS audio driver patch for 2.4.x kernels, so I think
that will suit my immediate needs. So I think that just means LB has to
know how to initialize the XpressAudio and assign resources to it. I
don't know how much, if any, VSA "stuff" is required to do this...
