You're right. I also forgot that this affects all kind of AT91 controllers and we don't know if this always works this way, not even with one connected data line. > Does the boot loader you are using at least store the board ID in the > place that Linux expects it? At first glance the U-Boot loader doesn't seem to do any board-specific things. I may be mistaken. The board comes with a preinstalled Loader, Linux distribution and a Linux kernel patched by the manufacturer of the board. I'm not sure about this question, so I'll ask the manufacturer. Björn
