2007-06-02 Thread Corey Osgood
The attached patch is a unified version of the current ports of the i82801 series currently in LinuxBIOS. Since most of the ports are nearly identical, I've taken for each file and chosen the cleanest or best version of the code, then checked over the datasheets to *some* of the series, including

Juergen, Can you please explain which chipset northbridge does this? I've never seen one that uses the PCI bus in this fashion, but I'd like to know if there is one. http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/440/documentation.htm Everyone, please look at Intel 440BX chipset docs for a clear

Sorry to jump in a bit late here, but for parallel flash, what about using a NIC with a boot ROM socket? I've used that for both PLCC32 and DIP32 parts. Regards, Jeremy -- linuxbios mailing list linuxbios@linuxbios.org http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
