Re: I am interested in bringing linux to Roverpc P4

Thanks to your instructions I was able to make the GPIO dump. Could you
assist me in the next step. I will attach the dump as a text file. I hope
the mailinglist accepts this. Is it possible now to extract hardware
information from this dump and then build a workable kernel. I fairly
ignorant in these issues so your help is appreciated.
