[LinuxBIOS] Questions about softVG in olpc??

2007-04-12 Thread Hao Li
Hi all, I am quite confused about how olpc's codes initialize VGA card. As far as I know, olpc will use softVG vsm (part of VSA) to initialize hardware and provide Interfaces to VGABIOS. But in the olpc's codes I only see a function graphics_init() to pass parameters to softVG. Are there

Well, I search a bit where the #init comes with no luck, it seems to get down into the deep blue sea :), it seems to come from inner layers of the board. I would like to be on a mistake but ... Another option, cut the pin, u, but with which tool?, and worst, cut without broking any of the

[LinuxBIOS] GA-M57SLI-S4 bios programming

2007-04-12 Thread ST
Hi I am still puzzled how the second flash chip is to be used on the GA-M57SLI-S4 board. As Peter mentioned LPC is used on this board. Would it be enough to use the flash chips (for programming and reading) to just disable one chip with the #init signal? It seems as if only one of the chips
