RE: MiniPCI Video Card?

From Wear-Hard Mailing list Archive (WH) Maintained by R. Paul McCarty

Awesome, this is exactly what I am looking for also.  And my board is a =
MIPS
board also.

I am curious ... Where did you source these?  And let me know if you are
looking for some assistance on the work.  I don't have a lot of free =
cycles,
however I would like to put some towards this if it would assist!

I agree that there are a lot of these boards coming out that are looking
better and better as wearable platforms.  Video/input are the only =
things to
address ...

Subject: Re: [Wear-Hard] MiniPCI Video Card?

Hello Scott,

I have 2 mini-PCI ATI Rage XL cards here:
	mPCI-8750
		and
	MS-9513

These next days I'll be testing both in a mini-ITX Pentium-M motherboard =

that has an mini-PCI slot (DFI-ACP G5M100-N).

This will be a first step however only - because they are finally ment =
for=20
a MIPS based meshcube (which has e.g. USB host, eth, WLAN =3D> makes a=20
nice wearable platform).
	http://www.meshcube.org

Nevertheless - on non-x86 systems the VGA card can't be initialized by =
its=20
own BIOS (that is x86 code) - so we're busy working on a workaround =
(there=20
are some good starting points such as code in the ati128fb, xfree86 for=20
initializing 2nd and further cards and x86 emulators).
I hope to sooner or later have VGA output for the meshcube - but we are=20
not that far yet.

best regards
 Ralf
