   I have successfully boot Linux 2.4.22 on my Lite5200 Evaluation Board =
with the ELDK. but when I want to use PCI slot for the video card,something=
 goes wrong. The whole board loses supply of electricity. And i take the vi=

    The video card i have tried :
            S3 Trio64V
            Trident TGUI9680
            S3 ViRGE/DX
   Then I ask the Freescale support, they tell me that these board can op=
erate in 5V slot only, While the PCI slot on Lite5200 only offers 3.3V. The=
se days though I search much information about vedio card. I still don't wh=
ich card can fit Lite5200.And I knew that the new CoralP PCI video card can=
 support Lite5200. Can I get it from market? Anyway I really worry about th=

nks a lot! (There was something wrong with my mailbox,I could not receive t=

first of all, you need to take care of the PCI cards you use. As the Freesc=
ale support and=20
also the manuals say: "Only 3.3V compliant PCI cards". In the meantime ther=
e are quite a lot
of burned-out boards because of "wrong" cards.
Next problem with the PCI bus on this board is, that because of some timing=
 issues not all=20
cards will be detected, so it'll be hard to find a video card, that matches=
 these requirements.
The only card that I know, which seems to work AND is somehow supported is =
a CORAL-P evaluation=20
board from Fujitsu. But this one is rather expensive.=20
I tried also and old Nvidia Riva 128 card, which was detected correctly, bu=
t is not
initialized correctly by the framebuffer driver.
