But unfortunately there is not much information around about the hardware. Since the box originally runs a wince system, this project is more like a _free time_ projects of some Linux enthusiasts. You can get a overview about this here: http://www.t-hack.com/wiki/ There is also a forum, but unfortunately most posts are in German .. >> I am sure there some more guys around using the smp8634. > > Likely there are.

I know that Sigma is not really interested in publishing there specifications. Even the gpl part is not published, but I am sure you already know this :-) Do you know how to get some more detailed information about the smp8634? Ok, there are some parts that are not equal, like memory and flash! But this is a SoC, so most parts are the same. > N/A, the kernel does not rely on any microcode. Ok, thanks, so we can cancel this on our todo-list .. Regards, Andi
