07:42 AM polprog: ill check it out
01:38 PM polprog: This powerpc computer that i got seems to work.. but also i am not getting any bootloader output
01:38 PM polprog: but at the same time the RS232 on uart0 has no voltage on either pin 2 and 3
01:38 PM polprog: BUT it uses some fancy sipex driver with power saving
01:38 PM polprog: and I have a gut feeling the driver is off unless it sees some singnal on RS232-RX pin
01:38 PM polprog: which is stupid, but may explain why there is no bootloader messages
01:39 PM polprog: otherwise there is just a flash on it, and a CF card slot
01:39 PM polprog: two ethernet PHYs (the PPC405EP has two ethernet interfaces, two uarts)
01:40 PM polprog: The good think is that a lot of it is integrated like in the 8051, so a lot of the code will run on *any* PPC405EP
01:40 PM polprog: the bad thing.. its just poor
01:40 PM polprog: but it has 3 miniPCI interfaces
