To be clear the firmware hub is a variant on the LPC bus. And as addresses are clocked across the LPC bus there is no theoretical ROM size limit. > I guess this all depends upon the application - is the application a purely > embedded solution with only flash being used, or is it a case of being able > to fit a kernel into the BIOS chip - for the latter case, I guess 8Mbit > would be adequate. I suspect Beoboot would be a tight fit, but that is a different problem.
