Perhaps someone at TS (Kris?) can explain this?
I downloaded the new 2G-mSD-7800-10-10-10.dd.gz, put it on an SD card, popped
it in my TS7800 and up it came!
I then "exit" and it switched to the SD card boot. Still all good.
Then "modprobe ax88797b" and I have a working TS-ETH100. Still no ethtool
support but that's a minor quibble.
Now I'm a little confused at this point because if I remember correctly, in the
21-ts kernel, one had to issue a series of 0x55555555 to various registers to
switch the 64 pin connector to ISA mode before loading the ax88796b driver but
I figure that you've just changed the default setting in this kernel.
Unfortunately, our code requires POSIX message queue support in the kernel,
which is not enabled in the TS kernels, so I downloaded the provided source
code.
I unpacked it into the Virtual Machine provided by TS, copied 7800_defconfig to
.config, brought up menuconfig and just turned on POSIX message queue support
and built the kernel.
I then copied it into the kernel partition on the SD and booted again.
I get all the way to a command prompt in the SD card but "modprobe ax88796b"
now seg faults and all hell breaks loose.
Comments?
