The auto.c file has #includes for things like raminit.c. If I change the auto.c file and rebuild, the changes "take". If I change raminit.c, the changes don't take. I have to touch the auto.c to get it to work. Does everyone have this problem?
I do cd targets ; ./buildtarget via/epiam
This is a known problem, we probably need to do a makedepend on auto.c when we make the makefile.
One other note that I kind of recall being discussed. I cloned the vt8231 directory to make the vt8235 directory, but a lot of the separate pci devices that are inside both devices are identical. Isn't there some way of separating out the support code for the individual components maybe based on the pci device id's? This would avoid code duplication.
not sure. I don't want to go too far with this; we're trying to avoid putting a whole device driver layer into a bios.
