Hello LinuxBios fellows,
I know i'am a bit asking for trouble in what i like but if not trying to someone else will anyway (as i've read). I'am trying to bring this fix smbenablebus.inc into v2, following advices and notices of Dave
by build time i got : /mainboard/via/epia/smbus.inc: Assembler message: smbus.inc:49:Error: invalid character "_" in mnemonic smbus.inc:50:Error: invalid character "_" in mnemonic smbus.inc:51:Error: invalid character "_" in mnemonic crt0.S:155:Warning: inderect jmp without '*' make[1]: *** [crt0.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [fallback-rom] Error 1
It stops in 51 in smbus.inc but there are other mnemonics with this char...
A out-of-the-bit question : I've noticed that we're building a fallbackrom, and i found the concept unavoidable and very interesting, but does/should it needs all the capabilities a normal rom has ? (for example half rate would be enough, you know thinking let's try not to give it too much reasons to break down:-) Indeed i thought fallback rom was some kind of in-case-of-emergency-boot-anyway-please.. just enough abilities some we can repair the normal rom to boot up back from. Well it just a something that passed by me...
Have nice week-end. mathieu

The post for fixing the 1/2 baud rate problem on epia-m is here: http://www.clustermatic.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2003-December/006207.html
The earlier post mentioned probably had the setserial workaround but this is no good, you don't get 115200 baud or other baud rates that don't go into 57,600 exactly (like 38,400).
I'm on vacation this past week in Florida so haven't been able to assist any on the epia-m work.
One thing I noticed in Dmitri's patch is it seemed to cut out all my code to initialize the VT1211's hardware monitor (used for temperature + voltage monitoring). Other stuff seemed to be hacked and slashed out that I found necessary, but didn't appear to be replaced elsewhere.
When I get back to the office hopefully I can do a cvs checkout of latest version and give it a shot and see if it works for me. It sounds like it is working for everyone else right now, which is good news, so congrats all around.
So if it's this far along, it would be nice to get the SPD auto detection working. Maybe the path to that is integrate all these V1 changes into V2 and do it in V2.

don't worry. I did not apply the patch Dmitri sent. I just used it as a guide to the actual changes I made. All your stuff is still in there. Check the CVS and you should see your stuff intact. I really need that serial port patch though.

That's the next step. Once you bless this V1 port, I start the V2 port. That will become the port of choice for EPIA-M.

I'll need some help with that one ... this is a time-available thing for me right now, but I'm giving it all the time I can.
