Debian Linux (Testing) on the VIA EPIA TC10000 Board
News in this site:
19th June 2004: Kernel- and soundinformation added.
1st June 2004: Building this site! :-)
So, at first the technical data about this Board:
| Processor: |
VIA C3 Nemhia, 1GHz |
| RAM: |
SO-Dimm 200Pin, DDR266 (PC2100);
I am using a 512 MB module from Infineon (DDR 333) succesfully |
| Connectors externaly: |
2xUSB 2.0
VGA
PS/2
RJ15
Seriel (9-pins)
Audio
DC 12V |
| Connectors internaly: |
1xPCI
2xIDE UDMA133
Serial Port
LPT
12V Power
Wake-on-LAN
Audio
DC 12V |
| Graphics: |
Included in VIA CLE266 North-Bridge |
| Sound: |
VIA VT1612A (in South-Bridge included) |
| Network: |
VIA Tahoe VT6103 Fast-Ethernet 10/100MBit (in South-Bridge included) |
And here are the needed modules for the hardware:
| Device |
Modul/Treiber |
Network:
VT6103 (VIA RHINE chipset) |
via-rhine |
Graphics:
VIA CLE266 |
Patch from ?? (see below) |
Sound:
VIA VT1612A |
ALSA: snd_via82xx (see below) |
| USB 2.0 |
ehci-hcd |
Furthermore the Baord has of course ACPI
Kernel 2.6.7-rc3 with EPIA-Patch:
At this time Kernel 2.6.7-rc3 (Vanilla) with the EPIA-Patch from
www.epiawiki.org is running on my system. It works very great and without much trouble.
Even Framebuffer VESA-mode is running perfectly when you build the "Framebuffer Console Support" in the kernel and not as module!
You can download my Config-file here.
Sound:
For activating sound you need the "snd_via82xx" Module (in the ALSA Sound Drivers in PCI-Devices called
"VIA 82C686A/B, 8233 Southbridge") when using ALSA. If you want to use OSS you need to install the
"VIA 82C686 AUDIO CODEC" in OSS menu in the kernel.
Work will go on soon ... :-)
