Hi Ron,
What part would that be? Our kernel is a little over a meg and we have a 512KB flash. We are also using a FirmwareHub device so I think we need to goto an LPC flash?
WE have also started some internal R&D to look at an open-source video bios for the LX800....I'll keep the list informed as we move forward. I would like to host this somewhere so people could work on it.
Thanks
Steve Spano, President Finger Lakes Engineering

Hello
Is anyone aware of a 2Mbyte PLCC32 BIOS flash prom that can be used with the AMD LX800 / CS5536?
I would like to use coreboot V2 to directly launch the Linux kernel as an ELF payload and then use a YAFFS2 filesystem to access a NAND flash on the IDE bus.
Any thoughts would also be appreciated - thank you
If you get the part this should work fine. Actually I have shoehorned 2.6 kernels into 1 MB in the past -- lzma makes it work.
