I would like to make the STPC elite ram initialisation use SPD info. I notice that all the existing SDRAM initialisation that uses SPD seems to use some kind of SPD controller. Is this true ? The STPC elite only provides a bit banging SPD interface, has anyone implemented smbus_read_byte etc with a bit banging interface ? -- Peter Fox <peter.fox@aeroflex.com> Aeroflex Test Solutions Principal Design Engineer Stevenage Any opinions expressed above are http://www.aeroflex.com/ not necessarily those of Aeroflex.

Yes.

Not for LinuxBIOS so it looks like you have some work ahead of you. On the plus side a bit banging interface since you get more control provides the opportunity for more robust error handling. Eric
