[parisc-linux] HP 9000 E55 (and family) status

[Christoph Plattner]

By the way, as we discuss on the E55,
what's the status ?

Are there any news on MUX or SCSI driver ?

Are there any news on the NDA, .... ?

Hello,

Sorry, I'm a little late.=20

The status is that, as you said before, we need the MDP panel to get access
to the serial console (port 0 of the panel). I'm looking for this panel and=
 i
think i found one ;)=20

After the blind boot, we can't access to the HP-UX. No login is avaible,
because this E55 is a decommissioned one, a "gift" to the local Linux (and =
other
free software) User Group of my town (Toulouse, France).=20

So we need to make a fresh install of HP-UX. That's why we need the serial
console (cdrom boot).=20

thanks for the informations :)

In Feb/March 2003 I pulled together the documents for SCSI and prepared
the NDA for you. I didn't do anything for the Mux since I really don't
know anything about it.  It took fours monthes for my management (sorry,
I'm somewhat bitter about this) to tell me the process had changed and
I need to talk to run the NDA past an internal HP "review board".

I've not taken the steps to do that becuase I'm saturated
with too many projects. But if E55 still means something to you
(and it sounds like it does), I'll charge this windmill as
well. Pokeme again monthly and I'll let you know if/how far I've
gotten on that.

thanks for you "infinite" patience,
grant

I've asked for a NDA as well (regarding Spifi and other chips,=20
especially
sound), never got any answer. That was about 5 months ago...

You are also interested in SPIFI ?
That's good, so we can build up a small team developing
on it   :-)

Don't worry about the "delay", I also have much to do,
and we can hope, that the E55 will not become "out of
interest" for me ...

I know the problem with "organizational overhead" and
I understand the problem.

I only was interested, if there are any news, if there
are new fixes in the driver, etc, etc, ...
