Re: [LinuxBIOS] State of vt8237 and consequently epia-ms

[Samet, Matt]

Hi Adam -

I'd like to start looking into the VT8237 myself.
If possible, could I get that VT8237 doc from you? And possibly your WIP
code?
I can start to take a look, I have some time.

Thanks...

Currently the is no support for the vt8237.
What would it take to support?  Some one who has a few weeks to work on
it.
I spent a few weeks, but was never able to get the console running. 
With out that, I had no way of doing debugging.  My board does not have
any PCI slots, so I was unable to use a post card to debug.

[LinuxBIOS] State of vt8237 and consequently epia-ms

Matt,

If you get anywhere, it would be great if you keep the list up to
date on your progress. I might be able to help you test, though I
might have to find a solution to backup/restore my current bios before
I do.

Btw, which board are you looking into the vt8237 for? (epia-n, epia-ms, other?)
