You need to build the kernel with the following option to enable suspend on halt... Then all should be good. options CPU_SUSP_HLT Also with the 4501 you probably want to build with various other options too, like: options CPU_ELAN options CPU_SOEKRIS Jason > I've notic

William, Just for grins, try pulling out the CF card and see if it will POST completely. Worst case you can send them in to Soekris and they can remove the flash chip off the board to re-flash and ensure everything is okay. Jason ___ Soekris-tech mail

One thing I have to comment on. Why are you picking on Soekris? There are many other SBC makers out there (I own about half a dozen different brands of Geode based hardware) and not a single one has any sort of helpful info on their site software-wise. Heck, some don't even have hardware specifics

You could probably start with a low cost Garmin OEM GPS, but if that doesn't perform as well as you need you will probably need to step it up to a timing receiver and separate active antenna (that you can mount on your roof). Check out Synergy Systems: http://www.synergy-gps.com/ > After reading

Yes, I checked the socket and everything around it. I checked over the whole board... There is no (visible) physical damage. I even blew it all off with some compressed air just incase there was a hair or dust or *something* that could have been causing a short. I just don't know how unplugging &

Today I unplugged my net4501 to move it, and when I plugged it back in it would not boot, the power & error LED stayed on and nothing would come from the console. Oddly enough, when I removed the CF card and powered it on, it would boot. I tried a couple CF cards with the same results. With them

It would be for people that want to connect a regulated 5V feed directly to the board (to power the Soekris). My guess is for particular applications / appliances where you already have a PSU that is powering other devices in a small chassis. Make sense? > Is anyone else using a Soekris board wi

Two ports, one for the regular data output, the other is usually for DGPS input. I couldn't find any sort of manual or spec sheet so I'm really at a loss. All GPS software expects data to be sent via a serial port, be it a real one or an emulated port (for usb). Why do you want it to be a mini-pc

I think the bandwidth you are trying to push through is a little too much for embedded style hardware such as the Soekris. If you want the cheap route still, look at some of the older Alteon (now owned by Nortel) products on eBay Jason ___ Soekris-
