Hello again, I've been playing some more with existing configurations to figure out how to fix the tiara code to work in the linuxbios code for my board. I've got all the config files in place and a mainboard config file setup based on the example of others. I have placed copies of the common files like mainboard.c from other projects, just for the time being, until I have more of an idea what to put in them. I have configured a few of the other example boards to see how it all fits together and have learned a bunch. What I am now wondering about is the functions that are placed in the mainboard.c file. Are those mainboard specific? Where are they coming from? Defined in other files? How do I know whether I need them? Can someone explain to me what the purpose of the functions in a mainboard.c file are for? I'll keep looking. I have a funny suspicion that they are to setup the io and chipset and ram or whatnot. I haven't figure it all out yet, I'll be looking at more of the assembly for the actual function and where it came from etc... Any pointers would be nice.
I think when I am done with this I'll help out with some docs for newbies coming from my perspective. I assume I send them to Ron?
