Hi,
I'm trying to get an overview about which flash buses are supported on which chipsets. SPI support is pretty clear for all chipsets. For ICH I don't know if they ever supported LPC flash, and when Parallel support stopped and FWH support started (and if there was any overlap). For VIA VT82*, I heard that FWH flash was never supported, but I'm not sure when Parallel support stopped and LPC support started (and if there was any overlap).
Any insights appreciated.
Regards, Carl-Daniel

Carl-Daniel, I know that every ICH board I have ever seen ships with fwh. Whether or not lpc would work on ICH (I have never seen docs indicating support) or not has yet to be seen. I think this would require extensive testing.
It seems VIA boards almost always have lpc chips.
Hope this helps.

It is safe to assume that they do not. FWH is a concept from Intel.
