PC Engines APU

Post by mcs »

Hi all,

I have finally managed to make a Gargoyle 1.6 image for the new PC Engines APU PC. The board has the big advantage of 1 GB/s ethernet NICS (r8169), up to 4GB RAM and a faster processor. I use a WLE200NX wlan card.
As far as I have tested, the image works fine ( It does not show the language on first startup, very weird?).
I also was unable to create a working JFFS2 image, it just hangs on boot when mtdblock is called.
Not a big deal, the SD cards these days are big and have automatic error correction. :) Just use the ext4 image.
I enclose my build config and you also have to add the alix patches.
Copy the patches folder to targets/custom and load the alternative config file in menuconfig.
use

Code: Select all

make custom -j5
to create the image. If the custom-src folder does not exist ( there is no other way you get to the menuconfig of gargoyle as far as I can see) , the build process starts with menuconfig. In menuconfig you can "load alternative configuration" and point to the enclosed "config" file. Should run through, although sometimes sources are not available.
If anyone is interested I can also upload an image if anyone is interested.
Have fun
Cheers
mcs


BUGS:
First startup screen does not show the language name.
JFFS2 and squashfs images do not work
