Axis Developer Board LX release 2.0.0
=====================================

This software uses Linux 2.4.5, which takes advantage of the MMU in the
ETRAX 100LX, and does NOT work on the older ETRAX 100 chip. There are two
labels on the developer board, one with the PCB assembly number (on the top of
the board) and one with the Axis part number (on the bottom of the board).
If your board has one of the following combinations of numbers, the chip on
your board is an ETRAX 100LX:

    Axis Part No | PCB ASS
    ----------------------
    0109-xxx-01	 | 17293 4
    0109-xxx-02	 | 18260 1
    0109-xxx-03	 | 18471 1

Otherwise the chip is an ETRAX 100 that cannot run the devboard_lx software
(then use the devboard software: http://developer.axis.com/download/devboard).


New features since release 1.0.0
--------------------------------

The standard C library is glibc. Applications are dynamically linked.

Linux 2.4.5 kernel.

Command line editing (using the readline lib) has been added to ash (/bin/sh).
The stand alone shell (sash) has therefore been removed.

The elvis-tiny editor has been replaced with the tinier busybox vi.

The watchdog works (also used for reboot).

Minor updates to many applications.


Known problems
--------------

The read-back part of the parallel port driver does not work yet.

The i2c driver does not work with all i2c devices.


Installation
------------

The compiler is not included in the tgz-file. You need cris-dist-1.13 (available
at ftp://ftp.axis.com/pub/axis/tools/cris/compiler-kit/ and
http://ftp.axis.com/pub/axis/tools/cris/compiler-kit/).

The Linux 2.4.5 kernel is not included in the tgz-file (download it from
http://www.kernel.org or http://developer.axis.com/download/linux/ if you do
not have it already).
