Plugging such a microcontroller onto a soldered on flash chip with a plcc piggyback clip or a plcc socket/plug combination would make an additional flash chip unnecessary, and allow the device to be ultimately used.
I think we want to experiment with this to see what we can expect to work. It would be neat, I know it's done in some systems (PS2 modchips) but I don't know how well PC chipsets would cope.
Would be great if this works out.
another idea would be to detect host writes to the bios chip or some other memory area and interpret that as console. This is interesting for those boards that have no serial port anymore. We used a USB debug device for some of those (80$) but not all boards have debug capable USB controllers.
Yes, this feature is also a must IMO.
Agreed.
