Argh, it was working for some reason I don't know (maybe my custom kernel), and a yesterday's reboot has shown that the uboot environment was wrong, and reset. After re-flashing everything, I get the "nominal" bad CRC with fw_printenv. A good guy has written some sheevaplug tools to work on uboot part in flash from linux: https://code.google.com/p/sheeva-uboot-tools/ Sorry for the bad direction.

In particular the "plug > computer" devices from Marvell have a very small physical footprint. To answer the question specifically about where you could use armedslack. Slackware is a multi purpose OS - intended for servers and workstations. ARMedslack has come from and continues to be aimed at desktop/workstation ARM computers with local storage; a fast CPU (600MHz is the minimum I would want for ARMedslack); a good amount of RAM (256MB is the minimum, but 128 works too); ethernet; keyboard and mouse My feeling is that ARMedslack is 99% identical to Slackware x86 once installed. Therefore, to continue your x86 experience of Slackware on the ARM platform, the intended hardware would have similar characteristics to a PC. In the case of the SheevaPlugs, they have 512MB RAM and ethernet, and can have a USB or eSATA disc attached and have a 1.2GHz CPU. So for a headless server they are ideal. The OpenRD client is basically a PC with an ARM CPU: http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/t-openrdcdetails.aspx However, there's nothing stopping developers from using ARMedslack as a base: stripping it down, making a custom kernel, adding some additional software and putting it on an "embedded" device such as a mobile phone; and that is the beauty of open source :-) -- Stuart Winter Slackware ARM: www.armedslack.org From linuxxr at yahoo.com Thu Jun 17 15:37:27 2010 From: linuxxr at yahoo.com (Brian Kelley) Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2010 08:37:27 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [ARMedslack] Which devices use ARM?

Sometimes Debian have got patches for this. I used to use a debian patch to mpg123 (or 123mpg) to add in ARM support. It's always worth checking if Debian have a patch.
