Re: [Soekris] Schematics for Net5501?

This will not work. What makes the approach documented by John Ackerman at the referenced website is the use of the timers present in the Elan SC-520 processor. The net5501 uses a different processor and is not capable of the same level of precise timestamping. Ralph On Mar 30, 2010, at 6:14 P

Re: [Soekris] Using Vi on a net4501 with nanobsd

Works fine for me. I just use "cu" and then set term= does the trick for me. The net4501 has more than enough power to handle vi. Usually though, I ssh into the box as was also suggested. Ralph On Nov 24, 2009, at 1:02 AM, Bruce Griffiths wrote: > I have found that once I switch to insert mo

nanoBSD started barfing on me as well in buildworld, with a slightly different error. Removing WITHOUT_NLS=YES WITHOUT_NLS_CATALOGS=YES WITHOUT_NETGRAPH=YES from CONF_WORLD fixed it for me. I don't think all of them needed to come out, but I haven't had time to trace further. A working conf

Re: [Soekris] Problem with Atomic Read of GPIO Pins

The MMCR registers are memory-mapped, but you are using the I/O routines, trying to address them in I/O space. I haven't done this in Linux, but FreeBSD has a device /dev/elan-mmcr that you can open and mmap() for direct access. I would imagine you could open /dev/mem and mmap() the MMCR
