Thanks for your information.
We made a board with a new processor(still implemented on FPGA).
Assuming we can not run x86 BIOS code, we did not provide provision for video
BIOS.
Does the x86 emulator is architecture dependent? If it is implemented in C
language, we do have a C compiler.
I am looking for VGA specifications, such that I can understand the datasheet
better.
Thanks,
Suresh Chandra Mannava
