Hello, anyone out there have info on the Applied Data Systems Graphics
Client eval board? I inherited one from a previous employer who was
going to toss it. I saw the Microware license sticker on the CPU and
saved it.

I've contacted EuroTech (nee ADS) and have the User's Guide and
mechanical docs which gives me dip switch settings etc., but no memory
maps or other board-specific I/O info. The bootloader only supports
booting OS-9 from ide (PCMCIA slot), but no one could find a card with
a specific OS-9 runtime for this board. I'd hoped it could boot from
flash directly but sadly, no (all other options other than ide0/1 are
listed as <N/A>).

I have the Enhanced OS-9 for ARM devkit CD that came with the board,
but there's not a specific BSP for this board -- would one of the
existing BSPs on the CD (eg., 'Thin Client') be close enough to boot
this?

If I can obtain enough board-specific info, I'd like to attempt my own
BSP for this board. I don't expect much support from EuroTech since
this isn't a commercial effort; I just like OS-9 and would like to
have a function ARM board. I've done ports for the 68k long ago, so I
could probably muddle my way if I had a memory map...

More board info attached below this mail. Please reply via this forum
and CC: this email if you have any info (it's a real email, just a
throwaway to protect my real gmail address)

Thanks,
-Russ

Board rev: 170110-4000A, S/N 337
Boot flash (Atmel): labelled 'U22 OS-9 190110-4202A'
Secondary Flash labelled 'CE2.11 BUILD 1.56' (Windows CE?)
