A problem arises when trying to compile a new kernel to run on the
TS-7800. Technologic has not released the source code to communicate
to the SD card interface. I believe this is to an NDA agreement with
SD. Without this source code, or information about how the
communications through the FPGA to the SD interface, a new kernel can
only run off the NAND chip on the device.
We need to start pushing for Technologic to release information about
the SD interface to allow us to release the full potential of this board.
