Hi,
Peter Stuge :
So, do you think that a socket could fit if a compact flash card
reader does?
The socket I have in mind is from Emulation Technology:
http://www.emulation.com/catalog/off-the-shelf_solutions/sockets/tsop/
It's 5.33mm high which is more than the most slim CF sockets,
Maybe you could plug a VGA screen and ask somebody to write down
everything that the screen shows when BIOS boots?
Going through my notes, I foun :
Kontron embedded modules GMBH MOD1R418.
May the MOD1R418 help ?
Cheers,
Sébastien.

I took a quick look at their web but they make so many boards that
it's hard to know which one you have.
Okay. Thanks a lot.
Can you tell us anything more that can be useful? Perhaps we can
guess the board size from the size of the box it's in?
The dimensions are 30x20x3,8 cm, and the

We already tried, and the experience was not very fruitful...

Dear all,
First of all, all my gratitude to those of you who patiently explained
all the basics. This was very useful and very appreciated, since I was (am)
absolutely ignorant regarding BIOses and my too poor english arranges
nothing of course (cRe: soldered).
At the moment, I have no one with
In the meanwhile, I remembered that, when we played with the BIOS, we
saw the mention of a company called Kontron. This might be the
company who sold the motherboard to the braille device constructor.
Is this company known by one of you guys ?
yes indeed. A good company. Makes all
or someone can just scan their web pages, which are good, to try to
match the board up.
I'd really appreciate if someone coul do that.
For me it is a bit difficult: it takes generally a certain amount of
time to browse the web, especially to locate the relevent information.

Hi,
It is a great idea. Is that machine you are showing us kind of old?
Not really. 2 or 3 years I'd say.

Hi,
The braille cells part is attached via serial.
Note: about the braille cells part support, we already discussed about
it on this list earlier:

Actually, my suggestion would be to forget that we are talking about a
Hi,
Stefan Reinauer :
It is a geode based system, so my guess is yes, LinuxBIOS can run.
Okay, thanks !
Since I know absolutely nothing regarding hardware, I have no idea about
what geode is. Could you please explain how you know the system is geode
based ? Are there good pointers I should have
Geode is the CPU/SoC series used in the system. Originally manufactured
by National Semiconductors and/or Cyrix, AMD bought the technology and
improved it. It's not exactly an easy CPU/chipset, but it has been
supported by LinuxBIOS since quite some time.
Okay, thanks.
Is the bios chip of
Dear all,
I am wondering if it would be possible to run LinuxBios on a braille
device. Regarded from a Linux point of view, such a device is very
similar to a PC or a laptop, as you will certainly notice according to
the datas provided below.
If the device is supported, the idea would be to
