Re: [openpsion] Kernel source and bookboot

[Edward R. <edd...@go...>]

Sorry David this must have passed me by last time. I will have a look for
bookboot this evening. There's an area of the website that we used to store
files in that is only accessible by ftp by a project member these days
IIRC, which has some stuff that's otherwise lost. As to the kernel source,
that's available on Peter van Sebille's pages here
http://www.yipton.net/content/psilinuxs7/

You should be able to boot using arlo if all else fails.

Note though that Peter never did manage to get the pcmcia interrupts
figured out, since there is an undocumented ASIC on the 7/nb, and that
means the cf/PC card has to run in polling mode, with a significant impact
on performance.

Would be interested to hear of any progress you make, fuzix is a very
interesting project. Though I do think that, having an MMU and relatively
large amounts of ram, the 7/nb are quite overpowered for it!

Best of luck,
Ed
