Re: [Linux Status for Sun Netra T1 200 ]

Can you send the boot-sequence output from Linux and the
'prtconf -pv' output to the list?  If the boardset is not
already supported to a bootable level, I'd suggest we wait
for DaveM, et. al. to get their hands on one of those
boards-- I'm probably not qualified to do that kind of work
without having a box and documentation in front of me.  

If it does boot, and is simply lacking support for a few
onboard components, that would be another issue with which
I probably could be of help.

I have access for a small amount of time (# 1 month) to a Netra t1 200 ...
I have try to net-boot Linux on it and for now, it doesn't work...

I have seen your mail from 2001-01-25 12:46:35,
may be looking from the Solaris 8 already installed I can help to identify
what's going wrong ?

You look interested in seeing the prtconf, I can't already send you the
output as the netra isn't on my network for now and output is very huge !!!
but from running it on the console I cant give you some hints :
  the first line said "SUNW,UltraAX-2"
  there is a lom, a flashprom, pci, i2c, usb port....

If I can be of any help, I will try, as I am very interested in making Linux
working on it (note : I can be new kernel if needed as I have already a t1
105 running under ultralinux )

thanks in advance for your help

Unix is like a wigwam -- no Gates, no Windows, and an Apache inside.

From glancing the prtconf output, I'd guess that environmental
control (envctrl) and hardware watchdog (cpwatchdog) drivers
will work without modification on the Netra t1-105.  I can't 
recall if t1-105 has a visible 7-segment display and error
LED on the front, but they should be supported as well (d7s).  
Be sure you have the latest source for these drivers, as most 
are new and envctrl has changed quite a bit in the last few 
kernel versions.

If you have any need for these drivers, I'd be interested in
hearing if they worked for you or not.  I may have userflash
licked soon, but Pete's jsflash might be modified to work as
well.

for the LED... only one small LED on the front panel indicating the
"state"
ie: good/nok etc...
for other drivers I have not already test ! what did they give ?
I don't know what is envctrl and cpwatchdog ? (is the hardware wathcodg
what's
provide the famous "watchdog reset" ? )

what is "jsflash" ?
