Re: Geode GX1 and IRQ tables
for shadow ram, you need to enable writes to go to ram. Later on, when you are done with a region, you need to enable reads. So the way you do this: figure out which one is for 0xf. Enable writes (2). At the end of the process, you need to set (3) for the area. And, somebody will have to explain how this fits in with the new stuff, as I have not looked at shadow ram setup at all in V2! ron ___ Linuxbios mailing list Linuxbios@clustermatic.org http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios

A lot of the spd code starts the op, and waits for the 'active' bit to go to 0 in the status. If the CPU is too fast, it will sample the 'active' bit before the smbus hardware starts to do anything.
