Dear Mr. Li-Ta Lo,
I've tried, but id didn't see any bytes on serial port 0 of the CS5535. What is the hardware description of rumba target ? I'm trying it on the AMD RDK THINCLIENT based on GEODE GX2. What are you doing about VSA ? I didn't see any binary with it in the LinuxBiosv2 source tree. So, Can systems based ond GEODE (GX1, GX2 or LX) work without VSA initialization ?
Thanks for your precious help.

Has anyone ever been able to get source to the Insyde/AMD VSA?
Has anyone ever been able to work the Insyde/AMD VSA binaries into LinuxBIOS?
Has anyone ever gotten audio (or other VSA features) working on the Geodes without the VSA from Insyde/AMD?

If I am right at decoding the email transaction between AMD/OLPC/Quanta, AMD holds the copyright of the VSA binary. We should be able to get royality free distribution of the VSA binary (for the name of OLPC).

Yes, AMD is the owner of VSA. I also hope they planned on opening this up vs. insisting on Insyde BIOS for the laptops.

From VSA docs, it seems it is possible to get the source from AMD. I don't know if anyone has tried to get it yet.
Not VSM sources, but VSA init sources.
Back in 2001 when I was working with the Geode SC1200 National distributed the BLDT, BootLoader Development Toolkit, aka XpressLOADER. It was a bunch of assembly source and some documentation for making a minimal BIOS that would initialize the system and provide just enough services to init also the VGA BIOS but nothing more.
The BLDT was provided free of charge with no royalty fee required for derived works.
The BLDT included documentation and source for VSA initialization as well as VSM binaries.
I have posted the titles of the VSA documentation PDF files earlier and can probably dig that out from my email archive but unfortunately I no longer have access to the actual documents.
I seem to remember that we got the BLDT from National and not Insyde.
Insyde was only involved if we wanted to spend money on the BIOS, and there were two options at the time: XpressROM and Insyde BIOS, the former being a more bare-bones BIOS without a configuration menu and the latter being the equivalent of an Award, AMI or Phoenix BIOS with setup screen and all.
I assume the XpressLOADER was just a stripped-down version of the XpressROM.
Has anyone ever been able to work the Insyde/AMD VSA binaries into LinuxBIOS?
I have pretty much idea about how the VSA is working. Once I got the most basic chipset init done. I will try to integrate VSA into LinuxBIOS.
One advantage we just got is AMD has committed to provide support for the One Laptop per Poor Child project. Probably we will get something not normally avaliable to the public.
Cool. Perhaps you can pull some strings and see if you can get hold of the BLDT once again.

We were allowed to redistribute the VSM binaries from the BLDT royalty-free, but I do not remember if that included stand-alone as well as linked to our own BIOS.

AMD routinely points you to Insyde for any BIOS bits and pieces. I spoke to Insyde a few years ago about getting just the VSA. They were never approached about this in the past and didn't know how to respond. That project died and I never followed up with them.
This reassures my memory of us getting the BLDT from National rather than Insyde.

Possibly otherwise as well..
I guess the BLDT/XpressLOADER is little known since not many are interested in writing their own BIOS software.

I still have all the BLDT kits from NSC. If we can use the VSA binaries the same as VideoBIOS then we are set.

As Ollie mentioned, we need help. It would be a real testament to this community if you all can give us a hand with this -- some of you already are. It would be great to deliver linuxbios to OLPC in about one month. That's when they need it.
Also, I should thank both AMD and the OLPC guys -- they have been very supportive of this work.

The lippert cool frontrunner is a good start.
Folks, linuxbios just got its first-ever design win (that I know of ...) It's going to be the first, and possibly only, BIOS to run on OLPC. What clinched the decision was capability: it is intrinsically easier to do clever things on a platform with an open source bios!
Now, of course, we have to deliver. If you have a gx2 system and want to help make this all go, we can use the help. This is a great opportunity for the open source community -- let's make the most of it.

Surely with the new laptop initiative they will have to open VSA up, unless they were planning on a closed BIOS for them.

Dear Mr. Li-Ta Lo,
I've tried, but id didn't see any bytes on serial port 0 of theCS5535. What is the hardware description of rumba target ? I'm trying it on the AMD RDK THINCLIENT based on GEODE GX2.
I think our board is the thinclient RDK with the winbond superio duaght board. Did you get the lastest code? Does it compile?
What are you doing about VSA ? I didn't see any binary with it inthe LinuxBiosv2 source tree.
I haven't got that far yet. Probably somethin very similar to how we deal VGA bios on Via.
So, Can systems based ond GEODE (GX1, GX2 or LX) work without VSAinitialization ?
My first impression is it can be done but the more I know about Geode and VSA, the more I doubt it. One serious problem is there is basically no PCI system in the Geode GX. All PCI configuration space registers are emulated by VSA. It is possible to have a heavily modified driver to access the MSR register space than the emulated PCI space but it requires a lot of work.
BTW, VSA is supposed to do some other magic device init too.

My Daught board (LPC Expansion) uses the NSC PC87364, the wich is the same WINBOND 87364. I compile successfull the last code, but i was not able to see anything on serial port 0 of CS5535. But something is clear for me now: if you don't have VSA initialized, you aren't able for using serial port of companion chip. As a matter of fact, you are probably sending the bytes to port 0 of winbond super i/o, isn' t ? Are you really sending the debug output for port 0 of WINBOND 87364 ?

Where did you get the JTAG debugger for GX? We would like to order one. Does it come with software (Windows?)?
Dear Li-ta Lo,
I've acquired my jtag debugger direct from fs2: www.fs2.com
Just for your rereference, the prices for two jtag debuggers were:
1 SNAV-GX-ETH USD 2.621,00 2 SUP-1YR-R USD 371,00 3 GX-EXDI USD 371,00
The itens 2 and 3 are software of debugger and license for gdb, respectively.
The software of the debugger runs in tcl/tk in rwindows (argh!). I never tried run it in linux.

Just for your rereference, the prices for two jtag debuggers were:
1 SNAV-GX-ETH USD 2.621,00 2 SUP-1YR-R USD 371,00 3 GX-EXDI USD 371,00
The itens 2 and 3 are software of debugger and license for gdb, respectively.
The software of the debugger runs in tcl/tk in rwindows (argh!). I never tried run it in linux.

Ok ollie,
Very tahnk you for your excelent support. There is on thing i didn´t understand yet. The hardware i´ve done the test is GEODE GX + CS5535 + PC87364, while RUMBA is GEODE GX + CS5536 + W83627. So, i don´t understand why is running 100%. Please, explain. What hardware are you using ? OLPC computer will be based on RUMBA ? I´m available for helping with development or debugging. I have an FS2 JTAG debugger too. But i don´t have RUMBA hardware.
Where did you get the JTAG debugger for GX? We would like to order one. Does it come with software (Windows?)?

There's quite some Linux software for JTAG and you can do quite some things with just a more complex parallel cable

None of the software knows about geode though, but since it's opensource it might be worth a look.
