FYI:
If you do 'cvs update -dP'. After checking out the code, they will go
away.
-d gets any new directories that have been added to the tree since you last
updated
-P prunes empty directories after the checkout completes.
This hides the problem with CVS that directories can ne
the best way to do a new motherboard is find one that is almost the same
in the mainboard tree, and make a copy of that directory, and tailor it as
needed.
So, for example, if you have a motherboard that is a lot like
src/mainboard/digitallogic/smartcore-p5,
and it is called the Noblet Fineboa
the empty directories are an artifact of CVS. Sorry, I can't fix it just
now.

Hello again,
So I ordered 6 of the flash chips and got a PLCC removal tool. I'm
ready to start getting this working on my machine. I am still unclear
as to the steps to proceed in order to do that. I have looked at the
tiara source, there seems to be quite a bit there so that is promising.

Greetings,
Yep, that's a standard PLCC in a socket. Just as a quick tip, they are
often quite tight. I like to extract and replace 4-5 times with power off
on a new board just to 'break it in' so things go easy when hot swapping
later.
One further caution, in spite of being keyed, it is fairly ea

You should remove the label on the chip and you can see the real
part number of it. It has nothing with any keywords like "AWARD".

You are thinking of that square gizmo, with the blurry label on it? And
above the Disk On Chip device? It might be, I've seen AWARD BIOS units
