<div dir="ltr">More so, in general x86 (be it 64 or 32) is diffirent in that way that there is endless possibilities of devices and configurations, we never can achieve system that supports everything, nor we want to, in mine opinion... Instead one can use buildroot (if not imagebuilder) to include just the stuff one needs to his/hers openwrt build... Granted, that sometimes involves even tinkering with make kernel_menuconfig or so, but I don't know muchh better way myself.. As not everything can be "exported" into normal openwrt menuconfig either...<div><br></div><div> Sami Olmari</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 25, 2015 at 12:36 PM, Imre Kaloz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kaloz@openwrt.org" target="_blank">kaloz@openwrt.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">On Fri, 25 Sep 2015 10:02:07 +0200, Felix Kaechele <<a href="mailto:heffer@fedoraproject.org" target="_blank">heffer@fedoraproject.org</a>> wrote:<br>

Hi list,<br>
<br>
within the Freifunk project in Germany we currently use very low cost thin-clients (FSC Futro S550) for VPN offloading.<br>
Those thin-clients have an internal CF card (1GB) attached to the chipset's PATA controller that uses the arcane pata_atiixp driver.<br>
This seems like an ideal storage option for booting the device from.<br>
<br>
I would like to enable OpenWrt to boot from this CF card and therefor would need this driver to be built into the kernel.<br>
<br>
If changes like these to the generic x86_64 target are not desireable the other option would be to create an own subtarget specifically for this device.<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>

<br></span>
NAK. The x86-64 subtarget is free from legacy stuff and should remain that way. Looking at the specs of that thin client it can have either 1 or 2GB of ram, so it doesn't make much sense to use it in 64bits anyways. If changes are needed to run the generic x86 taget on it, please send patches for that.<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
