We have a product.

We have tested it fully on this same board with the CE image (athough to be honest, I do not know if the image came from you guys or someone created it here).

I would like to be able to test this same product (a USB and a SPI device) on this board, under Linux.

I will try the card reader, although I don't see anything loading for USB.

Thanks,

Marcus

'df' only shows the filesystem being mounted as /dev/mtdblock2.

I cannot remove the CF card from the board and still load the zImage from it. The card reader is not recognized by LoLo.

Hmmm. I'll have to dig into it some more. One possibility is to use the YAFFS partition in flash to store the data, or use the Ehternet to pull your data across.

In linux, do:

# cat /proc/filesystems

And see if YAFFS is listed. I don't have a board up-n-running in front of me so I'm trying to remember everything when I put together the demo image last year...

Thanks. I check with 'df' and have basically 5Mb of space left. The filesystem is reported as using 70% of the disk space. 5Mb is not enough space for me to pull anything over.

I could ask one of our engineers if we could stip stuff out, but I only want to do that as a last request.

Maybe I should speak with one of them, about building an image that would add USB, CF and display support.

To answer your question about the filesystems...


cat /proc/filesystems returns the following filesystems:

[root@Linux /]#cat /proc/filesystems
nodev sysfs
nodev rootfs
nodev bdev
nodev proc
nodev sockfs
nodev pipefs
nodev futexfs
nodev tmpfs
nodev inotifyfs
nodev eventpollfs
nodev devpts
ext2
nodev ramfs
msdos
nodev nfs
nodev jffs2
yaffs
nodev rpc_pipefs
[root@Linux /]#
