Thanks to a brave man at Toshiba who provided the necessary fixes we have NAND flash support in latest kernel and U-Boot. The performance is a little bit limited since DMA access does not work reliably yet but it makes it possible to have quite complex Linux filesystem images on the Topas A900 which has a small NOR flash only.

HTTP access to the GIT server is working again too.

2009-05-13: Toaps910 Update</a></h3> <p> The Topas910 project page has a new flash image with an easy to install GPE filesystem available. It can be used as a base foe on developments - a matching SDK will de available soon. </p> <h3 id="2009-05-04-U-Boot-for-Toshiba-Topas910"><a title="Link to this section" href="http://labs.kernelconcepts.de/_goto/21/News/#2009-05-04-U-Boot-for-Toshiba-Topas910" class="anchor">2009-05-04: U-Boot for Toshiba Topas910</a></h3> <p> The <a href="http://git.labs.kernelconcepts.de">Git server</a> has a source repository of the U-Boot port to the Topas910. The port is basically the one by Michael Hasselberg with some changes to environment defaults and initialisation. It is able to boot the standalone Linux kernel like the lowlevel bootloader but provide a much more features like an interactive shell and support for Ethernet and NOR flash. </p> <h3 id="2009-04-24-http-access-to-git-repositories"><a title="Link to this section" href="http://labs.kernelconcepts.de/_goto/21/News/#2009-04-24-http-access-to-git-repositories" class="anchor">2009-04-24: http access to git repositories</a></h3> <p> Its possible to clone our git repositories through http now.

It still lacks support for mass storage devices but it is based on a recent Linux 2.6.29 now and supports LED display, joypad and all GPIO ports.
