 EFIKA : first boot
posted by Noel Lemouel on 8th January 2007
I've successfully booted the EFIKA and started the debian installer using my ibook G4 as terminal.
An USB to serial adapter including a FT232R chip from FTDI has been used and Zterm as terminal emulator.
A screenshot is available.
Schematics & layout of the FPGA board will be soon available (time to make the web page).
On the software side work is in progress in order to get a direct access (not Virtual Com Port) to FTDI USB device. Their D2XX device driver is not open source and only exists as precompiled module for X86: shame on them.
