Recently, Linux finally removed driver support for the Intel Carillo Ranch motherboard, which was first supported 17 years ago in 2006. Generally speaking, Linux will not delete a certain piece of hardware because it is too old, and Carillo Ranch is no exception. The real reason why it was deleted is...it doesn't seem to exist at all!
Based on extremely limited data,Carillo Ranch should be a motherboard that supports the embedded processor EP80579, which is based on the Pentium M core code-named Tolapai and also integrates the Vermillion Range chipset and memory controller.
Other than that, there is no information, not even when it will be released.
Linux has deleted two drivers of CarilloRange this time, from Tungsten Graphics (acquired by VMWare in 2008) and MontaVista.
interestingly,If you search for the index source of "IntelCarilloRange" on Google, you will be redirected to "IntelCarrilloRange" (note the extra letter r), and the only search result will jump to a contact form for MontaVista.
There is a sentence in this table: "We would like to hear more information about this motherboard: IntelCarrilloRange, Pentium M compatible, VermillionRange."
Does this mean that MontaVista, who is responsible for writing the driver, doesn't even know what this is?
Another interesting point is thatThere is a pointer in the Linux driver that calls CarilloRange "LE80578", and searching for this number will get a lot of information about HP printers equipped with 800MHz LE80578 processors.
The strange thing is that LE80578 should be the motherboard rather than the processor, and EP80579 is the processor.
Intel's almost all-encompassing ARK database does still contain detailed specifications for the EP80579 processor, but the LE80578 is nowhere to be found.
