I have hardware where I want to run Linux on.

The hardware is a NAR-2091-547.

I don't know how to get it to run, I tried to install on my standard desktop-pc and put the HDD back in the hardware.



But it seems to be the wrong architecture, the only way I see is not a serial console but I don't have a cable for that.



Do you have any idea how I can get the system to run?



Thanks for your Help.



PS: I found the users manual.

    You will need a kernel compiled for VIA. Chances are you will need to compile it your self, then you get to enter the world of device drivers for your system and kernel version (serial, USB, video...). This wiki entry say VIA support exist.

  • Thanks for answering. But isn't there a easier way, with a already existing distro ?

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
