Micheal,

Our design is similar to the NEEK (though obviously different pin mapings), we will be using the same hardware chips except for the LCD controller, we will be using frame reader instead of lcd sgdma and external video output. Additional hardware modules will be on our board as well, I will have to access these from userland. This means that most drivers are there and ready to use, once I can point linux to our designs pins (I think). One of my concerns will be able to display graphics on the LCD (using fb.h) with the frame reader instead of the lcd sgdma.

From what you explained, creating our SOPC design with names that linux know will enable my board to run linux, right ?

Once again, thanks for taking the time to answer my beginner's questions.

Regards,

Dany
