Hi everyone,
I'm running a SBC computer with a NS Geode GX1-233 processor.
Normallly, you can only compile the kernel with the CONFIG_M586 option.
Doing some experimentation, I enabled the TSC in the file:
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/kernel/setup.c (by commenting out the
"clear_bit(X86_FEATURE_TSC...." for the GX processor in the function
"init_cyrix". I then compiled the kernel then with CONFIG_M586MMX. So
far the system is running non-stop (without any apparent problems) for
24 hours with a RTAI-application aswell.
This is the info I get from 'cat /proc/cpuinfo'
processor : 0
vendor_id : CyrixInstead
cpu family : 5
model : 9
model name : Geode(TM) Integrated Processor by National Semi
stepping : 1
cpu MHz : 232.742
cache size : 16 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 2
wp : yes
flags : fpu tsc msr cx8 cmov mmx cxmmx
bogomips : 463.66
Is there any test that I can do to make sure it works OK? And if so,
can the kernel then be modified to reflect this?
Thanks for any info
Herman
