Re: developing new BIOS

2005-03-23 Thread Richard Smith
 I alsoo need the help regarding when to write code for BIOS 
   
 what sequence should I follow 
 I mean which part to init first and which to next 
   
 Ex . 
 1. Enable flat mode 
 2.  init memory 
 then ?? 

Are you following the examples from the BIOS Writers guide on the ST
dev site?  I think it may help with your questions.

Its still trying to add a kernel to your image.  Check your payload statement. 

LinuxBIOS however built.  That's whats in linuxbios_stpc.bin it just
does not have a payload.

Re: Notebook 340s2 (sis630) 256k Flash

2005-03-23 Thread Norbert Schmidt
 What super IO is on that board?

 maybe: PC87393VJG - found in web
 (not yet screwed to verify)
yes, that's right, I found it when I dissassembled the whole notebook 
right now.
(Beside is a PC87570, a Keyboard and Power Controller. 
http://www.national.com/pf/PC/PC87570.html)

I found no directory for the PC87393VJG in freebios/src...but datasheet 
is available (http://www.national.com/pf/PC/PC87393.html)

Any suggestions or help? What would be best to try next?
Norbert

Just hope they didn't route the Flash write through the 87570. The micro 
has 2KB or ROM so you can't change that if it's been burned in.
