I've just started working with the TS-7350, along with the TS-ARM
development toolkit. So far so good, but a couple of questions.

Firstly, my Linux development host which is a RH EL4 clone (Scientific
Linux 4.x) does not seem to be able to read the JFS filesystem that
the SD flash card came formatted with as part of the development
toolkit. With the SD card plugged into the USB  card reader, I try to
mount the partition: 
mount -t jfs /dev/sdc4 /mnt/sdc4
mount: fs type jfs not supported by kernel

The mount manpage says jfs is a valid filesystem type, but I'm
guessing that is a generic manpage and doesn't reflect what I actually
have. Probing further, I see that I do have a module called 'jffs2'
loaded. A little Googling suggests  that this might be a superset of
jfs, but alas...

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc4,
       or too many mounted file systems

What I'm hoping to do is cross-develop my application on the SL4 host,
and copy the binaries to the SD card for transfer to the ARM board. In
the short term, I can mount an NFS share on my development platform,
but this will go away when the network police catch up to me. My yum
setup doesn't seem to find anything related to jfs.

Another question. Is there any Linux version of the Eclipse package
that comes with the development toolkit? Can the Windows version be
converted in some way? Seems like a slick system, but there's that
Windows thing that troubles me.

Finally, is the KIT-ARM development package still shipping with a CD?
All I got was a SD card with what seems to be all of the native
development tools. Or are cross development tools in there too?

Okay, the real final question.  Where is the TS-9445 board documented?
What is the purpose of the rocker switch that is mounted on it? All I
can see is that it changes the LED from green to red. There must be
more to it than that.

Thanks.
