Re: [coreboot] No parallel port set up on Alix 1D board

[Joao Bonina]

Hello Marc,

can you give me some pointers on that? Is there a tutorial or information resource for that?

Where could I check the SIO code for that?

Thanks,
Joao

The error is in your log:
PNP: 002e.1 60 <- [0x0000000378 - 0x000000037f] size 0x00000008 gran 0x03 io
PNP: 002e.1 70 <- [0x0000000007 - 0x0000000007] size 0x00000001 gran 0x00 irq
ERROR: PNP: 002e.1 74 drq size: 0x0000000001 not assigned

You'll need to see what is going on in the SIO code for that device.
The setting is done in the mainboard devicetree.cb.
