Tony & others, Thanks for incorporating the Revo Plus patch, I hope it'll work. Two remaining questions (sorry to be repeating myself) and a request: - Is support for the Revo's 480x160 LCD feasible? I don't know the 5mx LCD memory mapping, but when I use Arlo to fill 128 dwords from 0x58002020 onward, 4 horizonal lines and a 5th (about 25% screenwidth) at the top of the screen are drawn. I assume this is in 2bpp mode, which would be most likely what Arlo starts up in. - As for the reprogrammable ROM Arlo report on my Mako, Hennie Strydom reported that Arlo on his Geofox reports a reprogrammable ROM, which he says is false. I assume this is a 'bug' in Arlo then, and the Mako's ROM is not reprogrammable either. Does anyone have the definitive answer to the question? The request I have is to have a binary version of the next release of the 5mx kernel with the new REVOPLUS config. I'm not sure if this is a big request to make (with respect to e.g. compiletime) but if it's possible, I'd be grateful and I could report how well it works on the Mako.
