Most of this information should also apply to the EN15000.

BIOS Update

I have used the instructions from linux-sxs.org to flash to 1.07. This can be easily done with a IDE to USB interface and a plain old CDROM drive. You have to change the boot order for this in the BIOS.

Graphics

I am using the board as a server currently, but i heard the openChrome drivers work just fine.

Fan Control

• In the kernel enable (this is all more than needed but guaranteed to work :):
  • Device Drivers - I2C support - I2C Hardware Bus support - VIA 82C586B (module)
  • Device Drivers - I2C support - I2C Hardware Bus support - VIA 82C596/82C686/823x (module)
  • Device Drivers - Hardware Monitoring support - VIA686A (module)
  • Device Drivers - Hardware Monitoring support - VT8231 (module)
  • Device Drivers - Hardware Monitoring support - Winbond W83627HF, W83627THF, W83637HF, W83687THF, W83697HF (module)
• Install lm_sensors
• Run

  /usr/bin/sensors-detect

  and follow the instructions

• Use

  /usr/bin/sensors

  to show fan and temperature information

• Fan control files are

  /sys/bus/i2c/devices/*/pwm*
