Jaime,

I don't want to speak for Johan, but from past conversations with him it
seems more like the STPC BIOS sources are a code drop from a dead
project.

He offered to let me maintain the sources, which I might do if/when I
get my i430FX motherboard booting with the STPC-derived BIOS...

But to answer your question, I don't think there are ANY plans for this
source, as it is a code drop and not the beginning of a new project...

Regards,

Jeff

Exactly. We (Net Insight, Inc.) doesn't use the code anymore, since we
have dropped the STPC platform and moved on to a StrongARM-110 based
platform.

The code is free to use by anyone.
