ARM Linux - Supported Hardware

If you wish to email me, please specify a subject line of ARM Linux. Thanks.

Block device drivers:

Hard disk (Image files/PC emulator partitions) and floppy disk drivers.

Character device drivers:

Console, keyboard, mouse, printer, pty and serial.

SCSI devices:

Linux now supports the Cumana 8/16-bit SCSI interface card and SCSI II CD ROM drives (checked with a Sony CDU8003a). It has also been tested with a 270MB SyQuest drive and should thus work with any fixed hard disk as well.

Archimedes hardware:

Some Archimedes expansion cards are currently supported:

The Serial Port dual serial card (Issue 2) is fully supported.
Acorn MFM Winchester Harddrive card is not supported, but is recognised.
Cumana 8/16-bit SCSI card is recognised and now supported.
Oak 16-bit SCSI card is recognised, but due to a lack of interrupts from the board, it is not currently supported.
Acorn/Atomwide/Ant Ether3 ethernet card supported.

The more cards that I can attach to my A5000, the greater the range of hardware that Linux will be able to drive (if I have time!).
