Argh!!. That would take forever if at all.Isnt there another way? Like simulator or gdb or reading up stuff from the kernel since that already works with the motherboard.
As a first step, yes. But you want dynamic detection of dram and other things. By looking at a picture you can't see which line was painted first and why.
well if you are determined and/or have funding there might be two other ways.
1) I recall Ron describing rom-as-ram trick to get the emu86 running and get the memory setting this way. Slow as molasses I'm told.
2) get a pci debugger card. around $5k i think. can watch the pci traffic on it to see what it writes as ram config. It does not always work but when works it is pretty good.
