[LinuxBIOS] 5v PLCC availability?
by Corey Osgood 21 Nov '06

21 Nov '06

Anyone know of a good online store that carries these, will ship to the US, and doesn't have a minimum order size? So far, I've had no luck whatsoever finding one. The current BIOS in this mainboard is a 2M-bit chip, so that'd be preferred (in case the southbridge on this gives a damn). I've got some initial code written for the FIC SD11, but need an extra flash chip or two before I'll attempt anything (right now, I have no northbridge code written at all, just southbridge, superi/o, and a couple things to give me output if the smbus works or not). I've already sent an email to mouser.com about the AT29C020-90JI that they've got listed asking about minimum order size and availability, but that was thursday and I haven't heard back. ICC-North, the local IC guys in town, also haven't bothered to reply to my email, that was sent about a week ago. Thanks for any leads! -Corey

[LinuxBIOS] Debugging technique
by Peter Stuge 21 Nov '06

21 Nov '06

>From the OLCP buildrom page I went on to read about ROM emulators. The PROMJet has a clever function where a sequence of reads from ROM are interpreted as a debug write, and sent to the host. Could be a killer feature if we can't use any kind of serial. (I know that the PROMJet is expensive, but the feature is simple.) Will at least some part of the ROM always be readable after reset? Is that defined by the CPU? Does/will it happen that something between CPU and flash actually pre-loads the ROM so that there's no direct communication path? //Peter

[LinuxBIOS] ASUS M2NPV-VM + ASUS V2-AH2
by Uwe Hermann 19 Nov '06

19 Nov '06

Hi, following up on my blog post at http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/google-sponsors-the-linuxbios-project (which appeared on http://planet.debian.org) I learned that at least one or two Debian developers already own or are interested in the following mainboards: * ASUS M2NPV-VM http://www.asus.com.tw/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=1138&l1=3&l2=101&l3… * ASUS V2-AH2 http://www.asus.com.tw/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=1159&l1=1&l2=1&l3=3… (see also http://blog.thedebianuser.org/?p=86) They are based on the NVIDIA nForce 430 and the NVIDIA MCP51 (I remember there was some talks about this recently -- what's the current status?). Can they be supported with a reasonable amount of work? Uwe. -- http://www.hermann-uwe.de | http://www.holsham-traders.de http://www.crazy-hacks.org | http://www.unmaintained-free-software.org
