Bringing my NVX into the modern age.....

Hi All,

 

I know this is more archiology rather than technology but..... i've gotten my NVX booting off a USB stick with debian bookworm using a usb network adapter and the serial interface for debug... i've got the source code from the GPL release but i'm unable to find any instructions on how to compile the iegb or gpio drivers against a modern (or any) kernel version than what was shipped back in 2015....

 

Is there a doc?  Can anyone help this very bored dull man wanting to somehow hang on to this relic from a life long past lol :)....

 

Thanks,

Al

      Next step would be to get the iegb driver compiled …
