just work with what is there, we have a batch of patches due to come in by monday.
So pretty much just report back what fails and try to fix it?
Do we have some sort of target feature set?
I don't wan't to spend my efforts on things that someone else is already in the middle of working on or not relevant to the project.

For the moment, most the the registers are just hardcoded with fuctory bios values. Out first mile stone would be loading and initing the VSA. Only after that we can do the usual LinuxBIOS thing (pci enumeration, loading kernel).
BTW, do you have a M$ C/ASM development platform? Probably we will have to make our own VSA images some day.

I've got Visual C++ 6.0. Will that work?

If it would, that would help. You could provide us with VSM that is built from scratch.

Ok.. I'll consider that my first task. Not that I think about it I've also got a machine that has Visual Studio installed on it.

I don't think so. You need MSVC 1.52. The last version of MSVC that comes with MSVC 1.52 is MSVC 4.0. I've read in any location that MS SQL comes with MSVC 1.52.

Ok... I just check and our PNX1500 dev machine has Visual Studio .net 2003 installed. But I don't see anything in the bin dir that is MSVC. Is that the real name of the .exe? I don't use M$ compiler stuff much.

The name of the .exe is ml.exe. But it must generate 16 bit code. The last version that generates 16 bit code is 1.52. You will need the file SLIBC7.LIB too.
MASM 6.11 + Ms Visual C++ 1.52 (MSVC 1.52) + SLIBC7.LIB works fine. I tried it.

Apparently you need cl as well. I've got MASM and the assembly portions seem to be doing ok vsa_11\sysmgr\events.c however is giving things fits.
I think my tools may be too _new_. Even the cl that comes with VC 6 is pukeing
nonstandard extension used : __pascal is an obsolete keyword.
So I think I man need a 16bit C compiler as well.
Sheesh... I got into LinuxBIOS so I could get _away_ from all this crap.

Ok. So I read the docs... Yep. You need MSVC 1.52. I don't have that. Bummer.

M$ Visual c++ includes the masm but you'll have to check on the version needed for the VSA source. Unless your version of C++ is very old it's probably fine.
