----------------------------------------- Hello!
I have a NCD - ThinStar 450 Box and i wanted to kick the WinCE stuff from the flash and set up a small Linuxsetup.
The hardware is a x86 266Mhz processor, a SiS 5595 chip for graphic (and lan, usb, sound i think) and a 16MB DOC (DiskOnChip) from M-Systems (MD2200 D16).
I wanted to know if anyone ever tried this befor or if not, what would be the best way to experiment with the box.
For now, i just can imagine to desolder the Flash-DOC, build a programmer (i am more a electronic engeneer than a software/os specialist ;) and setup a testenviroment via a normal linux desktop. But thedesoldering of the chip is very risky. Has anyone a better idea?
If i flash the DOC via the network, i guess, that i only have one try. If i fail to setup a working linux with the first try, i guess i want be able to reflash the DOC anymore (because WinCE is kicked and linux stucked...)
Any recomends? Thank you in advance Daniel (pls excuse my bad english)
