the following patch was just integrated into master: commit dd9e9f1786dbdb314ce0c4244dee85357e2ae58a Author: Alexandru Gagniuc mr.nuke.me@gmail.com Date: Fri Aug 3 13:20:57 2012 -0500
Add a capability for mainboard-specific posting.
Some mainboards have really nice capabilities for posting, beyond simple POST cards. Further, some can not use a POST card. This change defines a weak symbol (mainboard_post) that can be overridden by a real mainboard_post function.
If, for example, you'd like to do something fancy before the payload starts, you can add this to mainboard.c:
void mainboard_post(u8 value) { switch(value){ case POST_TIME_TO_PARTY: some_fancy_lights(); break; } }
Maybe the post function should be an entry in the device. We're beginning to over-use weak symbols.
BUG=None
TEST=Build and boot a google chromebook. Observe that it still works. Use it to drive some pretty lights.
