DHT-Walnut is a shortened name for the Digital Home Technologies PCB 01070201 Rev. 1.1. The DHT-Walnut board is based on the AMCC-Walnut (still available, and still expensive :P). It is a more improved board described at www.amcc.com. A "walnut" searching will inform about schematic and software. Also keep attention @ DENX: they have developed a lot for the AMCC-Walnut board, and you could find a linux patch for your problem, prettier documentation, developer suit, and much more: in case, you are suggested to have a look to their web pages.

currently available [http://www.bgmicro.com/prodinfo.asp?prodid=COM1191 HERE] Oops, '''sold out''' 2/6/2006
 
 
 
 
 
The board consists of:
 
* [[PPC405 GP|PowerPC 405GP]] running at 266mhz
 
* PC133 SDRAM slot, currently, only supports single sidded DIMMs
 
* On-chip 405GP ethernet, board doesn't have an ethernet MAC address
 
* DCE serial port, speeds up to 230k, only tested to 115200
 
* two pci slots, keyed for 5V only cards
 
* Promise Technologies [[PDC20265]] IDE
 
* 512k of boot flash AMD 29LV040B [[Media:amd29lv040b.pdf|datasheet]]
 
* 12v dc powered
 
* PPC40XX [[JTAG]] on J10
 
* 6.00" x 7.5" board size
 
 
 
The system's most common configuration seems to be:
 
* System PCB
 
* 32M PC133 SDRAM DIMM
 
** Unknown PCI IEEE-1394 card supported by OHCI driver
 
** PPCBoot v.1.1.2 in flash
 
 
 
Hardware that is known to work (and not to work) with this board can be found [[DHT-Walnut Known Working Hardware |here]]
 
 
 
GPSFan (Freenode IRC on #edev) was helpful in providing an image of the board:

== Bootloaders ==
 
* ppcboot
 
 
 
Here is the latest ppcboot 1.1.6 patch, as is, it will build for flashing at 0xfff80000 as a replacement for the pcboot-1.1.2 that comes with the board.
 
 
 
[[Media:Patch-ppcboot-1.1.6-km2|patch-ppcboot-1.1.6-km2]]
 
 
 
Original sources for ppcboot: [ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/ppcboot/ppcboot-1.1.6.tar.bz2]
 
 
 
Here is a binary for those without a toolchain.
 
 
 
[[Media:Ppcboot1.1.6.1.bin|ppcboot1.1.6.1.bin]] crc = 083fb0a3
 
 
 
To use this (at your own risk) see the detailed update procedure description: [[DHT-WalnutInstallingTheUpdatedBootloader|Installing the Updated Bootloader]]
 
 
 
* U-Boot
 
 
 
U-Boot is a significantly updated replacement for ppcboot.  See: [wiki:DHT-Walnut-U-Boot U-Boot for the DHT-Walnut].

* Version 2.4
 
 
 
(Mostly) working kernel binary and config from jbevren with matrox fbcon and usb input support.
 
 
 
Current issues:
 
** USB keyboard input doesnt seem to work, but events reach /dev/input/event0
 
** [[Media:uImage]]
 
** [[Media:config]]
