NEW Graphics Drivers for Coral-P:
Wed Jun 16 2004
DENX has released source code and patches for X11 graphics drivers for
the Fujitsu "Coral-P" graphics card for big-endian Linux systems (like
PowerPC). The code is available as Free Software under GPL.
This NEW RELEASE also suports the acceleration and video features of the
Coral-P controller. A demo application for streaming video is also
provided.
The code was especially developed for and tested on a Motorola LITE5200
board featuring the MPC5200 processor, running a standard Debian
installation including KDE etc.
Please see the included
README
for instructions. A
tutorial how to install Debian on a MPC5200 system is available in the

Overlay Filesystem "mini_fo" for Embedded Systems Released
Wed Mar 31 2004
DENX has released a beta version of the

Main focus is to overlay the root filesystem of embedded systems
in order to easily be able to apply software updates.
A detailed paper on the design of
"mini_fo" filesystem is available
here, the sources are available as module
"mini_fo" from our
CVS server.
