Hi list,
within the Freifunk project in Germany we currently use very low cost
thin-clients (FSC Futro S550) for VPN offloading.
Those thin-clients have an internal CF card (1GB) attached to the
chipset's PATA controller that uses the arcane pata_atiixp driver.
This seems like an ideal storage option for booting the device from.
I would like to enable OpenWrt to boot from this CF card and therefor
would need this driver to be built into the kernel.
If changes like these to the generic x86_64 target are not desireable
the other option would be to create an own subtarget specifically for
this device.
What do you think?
NAK. The x86-64 subtarget is free from legacy stuff and should remain that
way. Looking at the specs of that thin client it can have either 1 or 2GB
of ram, so it doesn't make much sense to use it in 64bits anyways. If
changes are needed to run the generic x86 taget on it, please send patches
for that.
Cheers,
Imre
