Some interested activities

May 09, 2006 - Embedded System - I have build a Linux embedded system using buildroot for a Win Enterprises board (model AW791). This motherboard has a Pentium 4 2.8GHz, 512MB RAM, 1GB Compact Flash and five 10/100/1000 Ethernet Card. Linux Embedded System uses only 10MByte of disk space.

Apr 2006 - Device Driver Developer - I made a backporting of SiS SATA 182 driver for Red Hat Enterprise 3 Update 6 2.4.21-37.EL. I prepared a module for this official Red Hat kernel and a disk driver to install Red Hat Enterprise. If you need this driver, please send me an email.

This is output of dmesg using this sata_sis module.

Feb 2006 - LED Application - I have developed an application to turn on/off LEDs connected to W83627HF/F WINDBOND Chip on Win Enterprieses AW791 motherboard. This software is written in C language and it runs on Linux
