I'm a hardware engineer (BS in Electronics Engineering, Texas A&M) and I did |
| 2 |
the x86 how-to for embedded gentoo. I've got a new project at my work, to |
| 3 |
design a ARM based SBC (single board computer) for our main product. I'll |
| 4 |
actually be doing the schematic entry and PCB layout. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The specific part is Cirrus Logic EP9315, it's an ARM920T based chip. It has |
| 7 |
the SDRAM interface, flash interface (NOR), MAC (not PHY), and an MMU. |
| 8 |

Any advice on this chip or any ARM would be nice. I plan on use embedded |
| 10 |
Gentoo as the base of our OS. The development board comes with CE 5.0 and |
| 11 |
Linux (Debian based). There is a lot of unknowns (how does Linux fit onto |
| 12 |
the NOR flash, what about the file system, etc...), so any help would be |
| 13 |
appreciated if anyone has done this before. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I'll also be adding a section to the how-to that deals with ARM based devices. |
