I have compiled a test version of Limey Linux version 1.1.5 that appears
to properly support the new Intel D525MW Atom motherboard.
This is an ‘augmented’ version of the i686-suported-1.1.5 release, so
it should work on all the previously-supported i686 processors, also.
There were some rather major changes (necessary to support SATA
interfaces) in the hard disk driver stuff (even for those MB’s that only
have IDE), so it would be nice if some people could verify that this still
works on non-D525MW motherboards (at least the ones that work in
the normal release).
I have tested this release on both a D525MW and the D945GCLF series
motherboards, and it seems to work just fine.
Also, if you have 5 minutes to wait for it to boot (since the SWINE boot loader does
not support anything faster then USB 1.1 speed, YUCH!), you can flash
the distro onto a USB pen drive (>= 128 MB), and it will work. Once the
OS loads, it runs at full speed, just the initial boot load is PAINFULLY slow.
Also, this release requires 1GB of RAM (the original 1.1.5 only required 512 MB).
I figured it was time not to be “squosen” into a barely-large-enough memory space.

I have been testing chan_simpleusb on the HP T5710 platform - running ACID with a whopping 256MB of RAM. I was going to try the Limey Linux install to see how this would handle on these thin clients. However, based on your note below... I am wondering whether Limey is even worth pursuing....
ACID and chan_simpleusb seems to work great... I am almost done with week 2 of my block test!
The only snag (and it may just be cosmetic) is that I see the INIT 2.86 (or whatever) reloading on the screen - but that doesn't see to affect the performance of the system.
Cheers!

Thin clients?? What do you think we are, and eating disorder clinic or something ??
First of all, Limey only supports VERY specific motherboard, of which that is not one.
Also, since it runs entirely out of RAM, you need more then that for it to work in a reasonable
manner.

Yes, the same way all of the distros have for a while now. All the distros “support” chan_usbradio with full dsp,
however the VIA motherboards and some of the older i686 ones dont have enough
CPU power.
Certainly all the ATOM-based boards and even some earlier ones will do at least 2 channels
and even the newer dual-core ATOMs should do more.

Hi Jim, does this new Limey distro support chan_usbradio full dsp,
full duplex and can it support multi nodes?
Thanks

The install script will even allow you to install on top of an ACID build - how's that for playing nice!

Why dont you try a Beagleboard and LOX board… It runs at 1/4 of that power!

← OK Jim; So I will save myself from those Limey’s!
Thin is good … thin makes my hydro meter spin slowly. These things
run of 13.8V @ ~ 600mA. Me likes that :).

p.s., for all those than inquired last week - the ISO and install
scripts for my FREE STAR* project are now on my site:
<-- Pretty simple Jim - 'cos I don't have one! - the HP's cost us $28US a pop - the mod to install a 4GB Microdrive costs around $16 or so. So for a total investment of $44 US, we're good to go. I think these HP's are awesome (but beauty is in the eye of the beholder! - LOL
