I would assume this board is a non-working prototype.
Why? Well, it sure is now. All that ESD from the carpet
sure kills the best components.. :/

Otherwise it looks good, the bad parts have already
been listed here - no serial, no IDE-sockets, etc, but
for a rough prototype it looks good.

Let's hope you get it out and fix that license.

Yes you "assume" right. But, One should never "assume" anything. "Ass-uming" makes an "ASS" out of ones own self.

Can't serial interface be possible with an external USB->serial interface?
/Xter

Can someone quickly summarize the specs of this board please?

Well, that would need some kind of special configuration in Uboot.
To have it send the output to another device than ttyS0. No idea
if Uboot supports sending it to USB. Any Uboot developer around?

@TheDaddy:

Look it up on their website.

It's got nothing to do with U-Boot. All the serial output from OS4 goes through OS4 drivers, there is no U-Boot code in sight once OS4 has booted.

The easiest way to capture debug output is to use Sashimi, which can write it to a file, or to a USB memory stick, or whatever . . .

Could anyone email me the pictures?

I live in China now, and for some reason the Troika website isn't accessible out here (just like wikipedia bbc news etc, I have no idea why these sites are blocked)

my email address is noted in my profile; thanks very much
Ross

Well, for embedded development and all that I would really
be able to work with it headless, which means Uboot must
support the USB-Serial nullmodem cable as well.

Looks very promising! Thatnks for the photos

Thanks for the pictures, but there is one thing I noticed. The name Amy '05 and Prometheus have been covered by the USB connectors. Why put the text up here when there is plenty of room below the memory slots? Now it's called Amy '0

Processor speed?

"Amy'05 is nothing more than a model designation." :P

I guess noone can complain about the name if it arrives in 2007.
Noone will see the number five anyway! Hehe!

@TheDaddy

They changed it. It used to be 750FX but I guess they listened to the users and did a upgrade.
Too bad they didn't change it to a G4 instead. I guess it would have been too much work..

nice amateur work. I wouldn't buy such a poor layout though. Looks like a 1990's board.
no agp ? oldskool ide ports ?
mmm is it the new refurbished computing concept ?

Note that it's a prototype board. The final consumer board will probably be much nicer.
