Completes Acquisition of Southern Offroad Vehicle ServicesJune 27, 2:00 pm ET BAKERSFIELD, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jun 27, 2007 -- EXTR EME Motorsports of California, Inc. (Other OTC:ETMO.PK - News) ("EXTR EME" or the "Company"), has completed the acquisition of Southern Offroad Vehicle Services, LLC ("SOVS"), a company dedicated to providing financing for customers purchasing off-road vehicles Through this acquisition, EXTR EME will not only be able to offer its customers direct financing of sandcar purchases, but will also be the first sandcar manufacturer As previously announced, in exchange for all of the capital stock of SOVS, EXTREM E has paid $10,000 in cash and 15 million shares of EXTRE ME common stock. Of the 15 million share of common stock, 10 million will be restricted shares of common stock and 5 million will be free-trading shares.In the past, E XTREME required customer down-payments at contract signing and final payment upon acceptance of the final vehicle, which required EXTREM E to finance the 12-month or more build-out process through the operating cash flow of the company. Now, EXTRE ME will be able to achieve both greater throughput and profit margins by shifting its financing costs to the customer. SOVS has currently secured $14 million in financing for future customers of E XTREME, both for direct purchases and for leased vehicles. This will provide EXTREM E with immediate funding for the build-out of custom sandcars for private customers and "spec" vehicles for its dealers."The acquisition of SOVS provides EX TREME with the capability to deliver direct financing to our customers at rates comparable to dealers of standard over-the-road vehicles," commented Alan McCaa, President and CEO of EXTREM E Motorsports. "Through this acquisition, we provide what no other sandcar manufacturer in the world is able to claim: in-house financing to all customers. This not only ensures consistent operating cash flows to EX TREME, but incentivizes buyers who might otherwise defer a purchase to a later date to complete a purchase immediately through consumer financing."About EXT REME Motorsports of California, Inc.EXTREM E Motorsports of California, Inc., operating under the trade name "Xtreme Motorsports," is a manufacturer of custom and production-line sandrails, desert and dual sport racecars. Founded in 1983, EXTRE ME's sandcars have been sold to customers in England, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, South America and the US.

[U-Boot-Users] PPC assembler question for mpc8548cds
by robert lazarski 02 Jul '07

02 Jul '07

Hi all, I'm porting u-boot to my board. There's the mpc8548cds that matches close to my board in u-boot 1.1.6. My board, however, has 1 Gigabit of flash, 128MB. So this section is the cds code init.S : /* * TLB 0: 16M Non-cacheable, guarded * 0xff000000 16M FLASH * Out of reset this entry is only 4K. */ .long TLB1_MAS0(1, 0, 0) .long TLB1_MAS1(1, 1, 0, 0, BOOKE_PAGESZ_16M) .long TLB1_MAS2(E500_TLB_EPN(CFG_FLASH_BASE), 0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0) .long TLB1_MAS3(E500_TLB_RPN(CFG_FLASH_BASE), 0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1) And the LAW code is commented as: * 0xff00_0000 0xff7f_ffff FLASH (2nd bank) 8M * 0xff80_0000 0xffff_ffff FLASH (boot bank) 8M My board has only the boot bank - no 2nd bank. What's confusing me is there is no constant BOOKE_PAGESZ_128M. For example, the cds board has 128MB of SDRAM (my board has no SDRAM) . So the way the cds code allocates the 128MB for sdram is: /* * TLB 6: 64M Cacheable, non-guarded * 0xf000_0000 64M LBC SDRAM */ .long TLB1_MAS0(1, 6, 0) .long TLB1_MAS1(1, 1, 0, 0, BOOKE_PAGESZ_64M) .long TLB1_MAS2(E500_TLB_EPN(CFG_LBC_SDRAM_BASE), 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0) .long TLB1_MAS3(E500_TLB_RPN(CFG_LBC_SDRAM_BASE), 0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1) With LAW comments: * 0xf000_0000 0xf7ff_ffff SDRAM 128M I'm thinking this is because the TLB size can be allocated as 64MB for the 128MB of flash, and then the LAW code needs to allocate the full 128MB for flash. So in preparation for my boards arrival, I'm thinking I can do this for the flash: /* * TLB 0: 64M Non-cacheable, guarded * 0xff000000 64M FLASH * Out of reset this entry is only 4K. */ .long TLB1_MAS0(1, 0, 0) .long TLB1_MAS1(1, 1, 0, 0, BOOKE_PAGESZ_64M) .long TLB1_MAS2(E500_TLB_EPN(CFG_FLASH_BASE), 0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0) .long TLB1_MAS3(E500_TLB_RPN(CFG_FLASH_BASE), 0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1) * 0xff00_0000 0xf7ff_ffff FLASH (boot bank) 128M Yet the LAW comments say this: * If flash is 8M at default position (last 8M), no LAW needed. So since my board has no SDRAM, I'm thinking I can do this: /* LBC window - maps 256M 0xf0000000 -> 0xffffffff */ #define LAWBAR5 ((CFG_FLASH_BASE>>12) & 0xfffff) #define LAWAR5 (LAWAR_EN | LAWAR_TRGT_IF_LBC | (LAWAR_SIZE & LAWAR_SIZE_256M)) I've been staring at this code for days so I thought I'd ask here. Any ideas? Robert

[U-Boot-Users] CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE question
by sapirf fersht 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

This parameter is rather confusing. In some places it is defined as 1 and it's mentioned it can be used to overwrite mac address (or env is not writable now) in other places without 1 it says include/configs/EP1C20.h:#define CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE /* Serial change Ok */ include/configs/scb9328.h:#define CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE 1 /* env is not writable now */ include/configs/QS823.h:#define CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE 1 /* allow overwrite MAC address */ include/configs/PPChameleonEVB.h:#define CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE /* Let the user to change the Ethernet MAC addresses */ So, what will be correct for ixdp425? How this parameter can affect reading environment settings from flash?

[U-Boot-Users] [Patch] Creation of version_autogenerated.h only triggered for new and different contents...
by Carsten Schlote 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

Hi, below a simple patch for the make rule, which creates the version_autogenerated.h file. Instead of just updating this file any time make is started, now the file is checked for different contents. If it differs, the version header is updated, otherwise not. This saves unnessesary rebuilds of several files in the tree.

[U-Boot-Users] get_ticks and get_tbclk problem
by sapirf fersht 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

I am having a problem with autoboot when i have a password set. If the password settings are disabled there is a countdown and autoboot. BUT, if the the passwd settings remain and therefore the functions get_tick and get_tbclk are needed to be added, the countdown doesn't happen. I suspect these functions are problematic. If someone has an idea what is wrong, how to repair, I will be grateful. Sapir

[U-Boot-Users] [patch] additional check against flash size (oneliner)

hello i run modified version of at91rm9200dk, without on-board 2mb flash. u-boot code 'detects' it as as 0-bytes flash chip at address 0 (so it seems find). but since addr2info function checks against address+size-1 it becomes 0xffffffff. i think this patch won't hurt ;) diff -Bubrp ../src/u-boot-1.2.0/common/flash.c u-boot-1.2.0/common/flash.c --- ../src/u-boot-1.2.0/common/flash.c 2007-01-07 00:13:11.000000000 +0100 +++ u-boot-1.2.0/common/flash.c 2007-06-28 19:31:44.000000000 +0200 @@ -106,6 +106,7 @@ addr2info (ulong addr) for (i=0, info=&flash_info[0]; i<CFG_MAX_FLASH_BANKS; ++i, ++info) { if (info->flash_id != FLASH_UNKNOWN && + info->size > 0 && addr >= info->start[0] && /* WARNING - The '- 1' is needed if the flash * is at the end of the address space, since greetings -- Paweł Hikiert <p.hikiert(a)wb.com.pl> WB Electronics

[U-Boot-Users] USB hub support
by David Saada 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

Hello, Does the current OHCI driver (in the USB tree) support USB hubs? I have a USB mass storage device that may be behind a USB hub, and I was wondering if the driver would recognize it seamlessly. Cheers, David. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/USB-hub-support-tf4007226.html#a11380146 Sent from the Uboot - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
