ADLO for EPIA

Hello,

I'm trying to bring up VGA on EPIA board.
> From the list, EPIA board is supported and I've tested with Angrew's image.

However, due to full support of VGA is necessary, I'm trying to figure out
ADLO to run binary only 
VGABIOS rom image. 
Can I acomplish this with ADLO?. If yes, how much extra work will be needed
you think?

Thanks,

I'm not familar with EPIA. Wasn't that the motherboard that had all this
video emulation code (whatever you would call it). what's the gfx card
anyway?

anyway. if you can separate out the vga bios from rest of the bios (and it
can function standalone), then there's no reason why it would not work.

as for "how much extra work" depends on what you want to use it for. for
example IDE code in bochs-bios could use some more work (last time I
looked at it).

Here are some links I gathered:

sourceforge.net/projects/epiafb

http://www.viavpsd.com/product/epia_m_spec.jsp?motherboardId=81

The VIA EPIA Mini-ITX mainboard brings the industry's smallest, most
highly integrated, and most flexible x86 platform to OEMs and System
Integrators

Measuring just 6.7 x 6.7 in. (see photo), the VIA EPIA Mini-ITX
mainboard is 30% smaller than the smallest Flex-ATX platforms, while
maintaining Micro ATX chassis compliancy.
