Download it here, including the source:

For FreeBSD 7.0:
  • snd_amd5536.tar.gz

  • Here it is if you just want browse the source:
  • amd5536.c
  • amd5536.h
  • Makefile
  • README



  • Here's a version with larger (8k) default buffers for test:

  • snd_amd5536.ko

    running an AMD Geode LX cpu and a AMD cs5536 companion chip.



    New. Given to me for FreeBSD 8.X (but would not load on FreeBSD 8.2 for me).
    In addition, I had trouble getting FreeBSD 8.2 to run correctly
    on the Alix-1D (I had to install on different computer,
    devd would not run, neither would the editor ee).
    However, FreeBSD 8.x has been reported to me to have run OK
    on the Alix-1E, along with devd and ee running OK.
    So here it is, try it and perhaps get back to me:

  • snd_amd5536_8.tar.gz


  • For FreeBSD 9.1, this driver has been reported to have been compiled
    and runs OK. Here is the binary:
  • snd_amd5536.ko (for FreeBSD 9.1)

  • Let me know how it works.

    FreeBSD 10 Update:
    Here is what I have received for FreeBSD 10.1
  • snd_amd5536.ko (for FreeBSD 10.1)
  • snd_amd5536_10.tar.gz

  • Again, let me know how it works!
