Been chatting with a few old time geek friends online it looks like we
are
going to start an embedded Linux project for this hardware while keeping
it capable of running current nav data/maps


What sort of Linux applications are you considering for the Avmap
EKP-IV?


It's a Samsung Arm9 @ 226+ MHz there are many devices running Linux on this
platform.

Update: Friend who has had one for a few years cracked his Open Today
Numbers On the CPU Chip Are S3C2410 Translates To ARM920T RISC CPU kernel
with max. 266 MHz clock... Waiting on a newer unit to be opened to see whats
inside.

Info On CPU
http://www.samsung.com/global/busine...artnum=S3C2410

Playing with cards it only supports 3.3 V flash will not support any 5V
flash cards... or adapters...

Waiting on a newer unit with a cracked/busted display to arrive for
Disassembly and parts search and Possible Jtag connection Location unless
can be Loaded/Downloaded Via onboard USB.
