Support for TS-7KV video board on TS-7200/TS-7250: 10/21/2005, Jesse Off *) Default kernels shipped with TS-7200's before 10/27/2005 do not have video support, so you must update your kernel image from redboot. Kernels for TS-7200/TS-7250 are provided in this directory. There are many ways to get the new kernel into RedBoot, I will briefly go over one way that involves using the internet. To continue, make sure you have configured RedBoot with a network configuration that can reach the internet. You may use the RedBoot "fconfig" command to set network parameters. Get to the "RedBoot>" prompt by hitting Ctrl-C key immediately after power-on and type the following commands. RedBoot> load -v -r -b 0x00218000 -m http -h 67.40.67.44 /ftp/ts-7kv/vmlinux-ts7200-ts9.bin -OR- (if you have a TS-7250): RedBoot> load -v -r -b 0x00218000 -m http -h 67.40.67.44 /ftp/ts-7kv/vmlinux-ts7250-ts9.bin RedBoot> fis delete vmlinux RedBoot> fis create -b 0x00218000 -l 0x160000 vmlinux If RedBoot gives you an error about not understanding the "-m http" option, you have an older version of RedBoot and must instead load the kernel via a local TFTP server. *) Once the new kernel is installed and booted, you need to extract the new modules for TS-7KV framebuffer and serial port into /lib/modules. To do this, you must upload the file "linux24-ts9-modules.tar.gz" to the TS-72xx using the embedded FTP server and extract using the "tar" command into the / directory. Once the new modules are extracted, you may optionally delete the old module directory for the old kernel in /lib/modules/ to reclaim flash space. *) Lastly, for you to see a text-mode login prompt when you boot your TS-7200/TS-7250, you must extract the file ts7kv-tslinux-console-kit.tar.gz also into the / directory. This file contains an init.d startup script that detects the TS-7KV, loads the FPGA firmware, loads the TS-7KV modules (and USB keyboard and mouse modules also for convenience), and starts a login prompt (getty) on the newly formed Linux text console. Note that this tarfile is only good for the onboard flash mini-Linux installation. To use the TS-7KV on a 256Mb CF development kit Debian version, you will need to instead extract the ts7kv-debian-console-kit.tar.gz.
