#66: Merge all debug.c instances ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: uwe | Owner: somebody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Cosmetic fixes Component: code | Version: v2 Keywords: | Dependencies: Patchstatus: there is no patch | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ There are a ton of very similar and even identical debug.c files in LinuxBIOSv2. We should put one version into src/lib/debug.c or so, and use that from all mainboards... -- Ticket URL: <http://tracker.linuxbios.org/trac/LinuxBIOS/ticket/66> LinuxBIOS <http://www.linuxbios.org/>

[LinuxBIOS] #65: Unify SuperIO code?

#65: Unify SuperIO code? ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: stepan | Owner: somebody Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Cosmetic fixes Component: code | Version: v2 Keywords: | Dependencies: Patchstatus: there is no patch | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ One thing I've been noticing in the current superio implementations: A lot of differences come from having the part names used in variable and macro names. {{{ #define FDC37M60X_CONFIG_REG_CC 0x02 }}} Maybe we should change that to some unique names {{{ #define SUPERIO_CONFIG_REG_CC 0x02 }}} * Those names are usually file local only, so name clashes wont be a problem * They are the same for most (all?) SuperIOs? Doing so (maybe with function names as well?) would unify the superio interface, or at least make diffing the code of different devices a bit easier.. -- Ticket URL: <http://tracker.linuxbios.org/trac/LinuxBIOS/ticket/65> LinuxBIOS <http://www.linuxbios.org/>

It should repeat more I think. the "*" in output of the 'od' means repeat/duplcate lines. Is this what you mean? You can add "-v" to od to make it present full output. > can you afford to buy some parts? It would help figure this out. My current problem is that I was given one week warranty on those eeproms. Since I'll be away starting on Thursday, I would like to resolve it by Wednesday. I can go to the vendor and say that those eeproms sucks and I want some different ones. No idea if that answers your question. and for reference ,with -v option : # od -v -t x1 < W29C020-12.after.zeroing.bin| grep ff 0744300 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ff ff ff ff ff ff 0744320 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 0744340 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 0744360 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff # od -v -t x1 < W29C020C-90B.after.zeroing.bin| grep ff 0354420 00 00 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 0354440 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 0354460 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 0354500 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 0354520 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 0354540 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 0354560 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 0745660 00 00 00 00 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 0745700 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 0745720 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 0745740 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 0745760 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff # -- Thanks!
