Roger this would be very helpful. I have been working on other Intel chipsets (cousins of the i440bx) and something to go by would be great!!
Thanks - Joe
ok.. i'll start taking notes tonight.
Great idea! With all of us chipping in, I'm sure we can get this going. Also you might find the LinuxBIOSv1 implementation of the 440bx helpful, that setup actually works! Only real major problem is, it's written in asm, so it's a bit hard to understand/follow. There's also a bunch of stuff in the bitworks ims's auto.c that might be important. I tried a simple port to C at one point, but that didn't work out. I'm going to work right now on getting smbus working correctly, and the drb/timing registers set by it..first have to get the board set up again though ;)
BTW, anyone have experience with using a Willem EEPROM programmer under linux? I haven't been able to get the darn thing to work through wine, nor will it work on Vista. I'm starting to wonder if it's just a bum unit.
