Hi,<br>my understanding (sorry if wrong) is that it is not possible to run linuxbios/corebios on intel platforms, because of lack of documentation.<br>i am wondering what are the problematic parts.. probably MCH controler DRAM init?&nbsp; CPU init (microcode, stepping,...)?..<br>
this is sad, as i really want to be able to use corebios..<br><br>very recently i have been assigned to porting BIOSEs to our new hardware plaftorms. so i am working with amibios. it is partitionned into two major pieces:<br>
-bootblock<br>-post/main bios<br><br>bootblock is a 64K segment, where the CPU is configured and MCH sdram controller is init (based on code provided by intel). then it branches to post for devices init, pci enum...<br><br>
it must be doable technically, to keep the fast, tiny bootblock and jump to something like corebios . any comments?<br>i don&#39;t know if this is the place to ask but is it possible from a legal standpoint&nbsp; to modify an amibios prom binary and just keep parts of it, in case i want to use this scheme in the products of the company i work for?<br>
<br><br><br>thanks<br>eric<br><br><br><br><br><br>
