Hello, Has anyone heard of the Modular BIOS Interface (MBI) Specification and where I can find it??? I would like it for some research, and to find out more of what it is
and
does.
Intel's Modular BIOS interface? I think it's still Intel confidential,
you
should contact your Intel representative.
Yeh, I found that out. Unfortunatly If I told an Intel rep that I would like to develop MBI for coreboot, I think they would laugh at me. I think I need this to get my tv-out chip working. I already had a hell of a time trying to get Intel's "Bios Modification Program" (BMP Utility) to build a new vga bios for the i830m. They did not help me at all. Oh, well I will get there one way or another.

I'll be doing similar work in next few months, my goal is to get displayfrom
coreboot-like environment, and I'm not planning to use intel's vbios, my experience tells me vbios is not an absolute necessecity, so the BMP or MBI stuff won't be bothered either. The idea is not verified, but I think it's worth a try.
