2014-04-05 Thread mrnuke
So, in messing with this Pavilion m6_1935dx, I was able to get most of the EC running as expected. It seems that, at least the (ACPI) register layout is the same. We can get good battery _and_ AC indicators from it. When we query the EC (say, doing a cat /sys/class/power/AC/online), it responds

Hi all, I think there is OpenRadeonBios. The problem is that thhe AtomBIOS bytecode is vendor specific blob, which cannot be in principle released by AMD because it is written by board manufacturers for specific wireup of graphical output. This is what I have learnt when I was interested in t

Hi Yuval, someone who has experience porting chipsets could add support for this i965 chipset with maybe 6-12 months of fulltime work. This is of course under the (unlikely) assumption that full documentation is available. If you're doing it as a hobby and have to learn firmware development first,
