Gonzalo,
I bought 10 TPC-7390 with 128MB RAM, the chips are there, however Linux can
only use 90MB.
When I asked them what about the problem, they told me it's a linux kernel bug
and they cant fix it now, but if I fix, please tell them (maybe I can do it,
but I'll spend a long time on that, a time that I don't have).
So, making an analogy, supose that from the 7 inch of the LCD you could use
only 5, because of linux kernel, that is not their responsibility...
My problem is not a 16 GB SD that I bought in the market and the kernel cannot
handle... It's an announced feature from their product that does not work as
it's supposed to.
>From their site:
"The computers use the Linux Kernel (2.4 or 2.6) and the Debian distribution as
the default software package, which includes complete driver support for the
on-board hardware."
About teaching us how to use Linux, I don't expect it, but sometimes they also
do it. As I said before, I don't agree it's the "worst", as somebody said, just
think this could be better.
Regards
Adriano
