x86 ISA binding for open firmware

[(अमेय) Ameya ( पाळंदे) Palande]

Hi,

I am not able to locate x86 open firmware isa specific supplements.

Can any one give me information about this ?

I want information about client execution environment on x86.

Thank you.

Regards,
Ameya.

Such a document has not been written yet. If you are interested, I can
grant you wiki access and we can try set up such a document as a
proposal for the working group.

Mitch, do you know about any preliminary documents or de facto standards
here?

Yes, we should do that.

There was a document at one point, but I can't find it.

The other users of OFW on x86 probably don't care very much what we do; 
there is little opportunity for sharing.

What things have to be covered?

* memory management
* device tree
* client interface specifics
* user interface specifics (are there any?) 
* x86 assembler?

If it ends up being a good documentation of how OFW works, then that's
not a bad thing as well.
