I think i should give u the more details: Southbridge Chip: VIA VT82C686 Following controllers/device are integrated with the bridge: Integrated Super IO Controller - Supports 2 serial ports, IR port, parallel port, and floppy disk controller functions - Two UARTs for Complete Serial Ports Programmable character lengths (5,6,7,8) Even, odd, stick or no parity bit generation and detection Programmable baud rate generator High speed baud rate (230Kbps, 460Kbps) support Independent transmit/receiver FIFOs Modem Control Plug and play with 96 base IO address and 12 IRQ options - One dedicated IR port Third serial port dedicated to IR function IR function either through the two complete serial ports or the third dedicated port Infrared-IrDA (HPSIR) and ASK (Amplitude Shift Keyed) IR - Multi-mode parallel port Standard mode, ECP and EPP support Plug and play with 192 base IO address, 12 IRQ and 4 DMA options - Floppy Disk Controller 16 bytes of FIFO Data rates up to 1Mbps Perpendicular recording driver support Two FDDs with drive swap support Plug and play with 48 base IO address, 12 IRQ and 4 DMA options

Hi Ron/All members of the LinuxBIOS group,
I am new to the linuxBIOS technology.And wanetd to use the linuxBIOS stuff.But after creating the rom image and burning the chip, i was not able to see anything on either on display or on serial console.Can any one help me getting out of the problem.
I am giving all the details so that you people can make out where am missing?
What superio is on the board?
I've gotten the vt82c686 working, but at the moment HP still has my laptop, and I don't have a laptop->ide hard drive adapter. Anyways, you'd need to modify all of the pci ids in the 8231 code to match the 686. I also had to remove the usb and nic support to get the code to compile, and there may have been a couple other little changes, I can't remember atm. As far as the northbridge goes, if you're lucky, it's just the same procedure, modify the device ids from the 8601 code.

For the vt82c686 it is worth looking at the LinuxBIOS v1 code, it supports that component.

so can we set up southbridge/via/vt82c686 with our code?
thanks

The directory will be southbridge/via/vt82c686a, I'll be adding another one later for vt82c686b. I've found an older backup of what I had done, and worked back up from that, so I should have a patch soon. Which files need GPL headers?

I'll check my mainboards, I might have an old vt82c686* too, so I can probably help debugging etc.

That's easy - all of them.
Uwe.
