I would like to have full support for this device too, but it's an unpopular one, so there is a little chance that it will have a full port of anything besides the Linux anytime. It's better to go with Plan 9 @ Raspberry Pi now and in near future. There is no audio driver for Kirkwook, but it shall be written universal for all devices. t5325 doesn't need any special handling, except the audio ports layout and an alc5621 codec driver. SoC doesn't include the video device. Instead, a rare PC card XGI VOLARI Z11 is plugged into PCI-E port. The platform knows nothing about it, so it must be POSTed by a driver, which is an odd hassle. There are SATA drivers in 9atom (sdkw) and Inferno (devsata). Though, none of them work on my device, but this only because something blocks SATAHC from proper functioning. > > > I suspose what I am really asking is "what doesn't work" Well, the kmesg i've posted should give you an initial info. I have no possibility to test the stuff until i get local boot or will set a network/auth server for proper network boot. Ethernet works. USB controller got recognized. That's all. > > -Steve > >
