[ts-7000] Re: TS-7800: 2.6.36.3 zImage with an initial ramdisk uploaded.

["Matthew Smith" <>]

Hi Jaan - thanks for the summary, definitely helpful.

So it looks like Technologic have been busy, I downloaded their latest SD image 
(published 19th Jan 2011!) from their FTP: 
ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7800-linux/binaries/ts-images/2G-mSD-7800-10-10-10.dd.gz

Surprise surprise, we are now running kernel 2.6.34!!!

ts7800:/# date
Mon Jan 24 13:02:35 UTC 2011
ts7800:/# uname -a
Linux ts7800 2.6.34 #4 PREEMPT Tue Oct 26 16:23:25 PDT 2010 armv5tel GNU/Linux

Currently no source code so I can't compile in IPv6 support... Will contact TS 
directly to find out more details.

cheers
Matthew
