The wiki is being retired!

Documentation is now handled by the same processes we use for code: Add something to the Documentation/ directory in the coreboot repo, and it will be rendered to https://doc.coreboot.org/. Contributions welcome!

This page describes how to use the AXUS TC320 thin client with LinuxBIOS.

Required patches

  • This patch is needed to let Linux know the Cyrix 5530 interrupt router.
  • This patch is needed as someone has overoptimised chipset tweaks so the used access macros failed. This patch is required only for kernels up to 2.6.22. From Linux 2.6.23 on its part of mainline.
