rom for epia m-10000
by Xavier Pegenaute 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

Hi, finally! I obtained the flash memories for epia m 10000, now i'm trying to put LinuxBios, but in all the tests that i made no one printed somethig throught serial line. I have no idea about the problem. I know that serial line work because if i put "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200" in lilo with the normal bios i can see the msgs of kernel. Any one have some binry image for an epia m-10000 ? or some other idea? Thanks. Xavi. PD: I bought them in www.progshop.com

RomCC
by Dave Ashley 03 Nov '03

These discussions on romcc running out of registers, optimizations, inline and all are surprising. Isn't the point of romcc to just get the system ram up right at the beginning? Then once that is done any compiler (gcc) can be used to write code. Because dram configuration is so complicated and interpreting the SPD data from the dram, people would rather code that in 'C' than in x86 asm, so that's the purpose of romcc? -Dave

Thanks. with this patch it also works using PCI. Stefan -- Stefan Reinauer, SUSE LINUX AG Teamleader Architecture Development
