Hello, Tony!

quoted

  I have successfully boot Linux 2.4.22 on my Lite5200 Evaluation Boar=

d with the ELDK. but when I want to use PCI slot for the video card,somet=
hing goes wrong. The whole board loses supply of electricity. And i take =
the video card out ,the board is still ok. So i change to put RTL81390 ne=
twork card into PCI slot. The same thing happen.

   The video card i have tried :
           S3 Trio64V
           Trident TGUI9680
           S3 ViRGE/DX

Don't use old (5V only) cards, the S3 drivers might be unmaintained for=20
your platform, too. If you want to integrate video into your final
system, you might want to check out some embedded solutions.

  Then I ask the Freescale support, they tell me that these board can =

operate in 5V slot only, While the PCI slot on Lite5200 only offers 3.3V.=
 These days though I search much information about vedio card. I still do=
n't which 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 worr=
y about this, so I turn here and ask your help.and I really appreciate yo=
ur help! thanks a lot! (There was something wrong with my mailbox,I could=
 not receive the letters these days.So I post it again)=20

first of all, you need to take care of the PCI cards you use. As the Fr=

eescale support and=20

also the manuals say: "Only 3.3V compliant PCI cards". In the meantime =

there 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 ti=

ming issues not all=20

cards will be detected, so it'll be hard to find a video card, that mat=

ches 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=

, but is not

initialized correctly by the framebuffer driver.

Yes, the Fujitsu Coral P should work also.
I use a Silicon Motion Inc. SM501 Voyager GX PCI Demo Board right now=20
which is supposed to work with all the embedded systems. You can get
that board for about EUR 495.- in Germany.
I am currently working on the framebuffer drivers for the Voyager on=20
PPC. Things seem to make good progress, here (there is an image on=20
screen :-). There is also an Epson or Asilient solution for embedded=20
systems, maybe you can check that also. YMMV

Best greets,
