Hi, All,
I don't have this board, but do have a Tyan board.
We just got the tyan s2912 mainboard and we plan to build a LinuxBIOS for it soon. I know there is a huge patch for s2912 which was not merged into LinuxBIOS in Mar. How about the status of that patch or how about the support for s2912 in LinuxBIOS.
There is a src/mainboard/tyan/s2912 profile. So chances are, it's working... check the FAQ (or google "linuxbios supported motherboards")
Patches move along really quick on the linuxbios mailing list... March was a long time ago!
Could anyone give some suggestion about building LinuxBIOS for s2912. And another question is that, does flashrom support s2912 now?
simply compile util/flashrom and run ./flashrom without any options.
If it finds your chip, it supports it.
And how to deal with the video BIOS for s2912? Thanks for your help and advices!
See the Linuxbios FAQ on VGA support. (There's a howto on the wiki page.)
Best, Ning
