OK here's a question for the list.
If you think about the set of bits that you read from an SPD to get
configuration data it is something on the order of 16 bits. If you look at
the number of bits you have to set it is something like 32 or 64 bits.
What this says is you can form a bit string from the SPD data, then turn
that into an offset into an area of memory and from that get the
programming for the registers.
This would work if you had the ability to waste a lot of space. We have
that with DoC.
Of course it can get more complex, you can make the "address" bit string
bigger and use it as an index into a gzip'ed bit stream. But given the
presence of DoC I'm wondering if we can't get a little fancy.
comments?
