I have been experimenting with the OpenVSA code and have found that it becomes stuck on POST code 17. By adding extra codes, I have narrowed this down to the SAVE_STATE macro, which reads the PCI address port (cf8).
Furthermore, in order to build it, I had to remove the -Werror flag from the Makefile because of several "cast from pointer to integer of different size" errors.
Excellent to hear someone is tinkering! I haven't had time yet to push openvsa any further along. Patches are most welcome.
What is the status of the OpenVSA code at the moment? Are these known problems or could it be a problem with my build environment? Has anyone used it successfully?
AFAIK, no one has used it successfully.
Marc at AMD reported problems when he tried it early on, when the repository was first seeded. We committed a few patches related to build environment and licensing, but that's it -- no patches on getting the code itself fixed up.
Have you got a Geode platform with the FS2 debugger? It would be great to get some folks with the time and gear on openvsa.
