After enabling read/write/cache for BC_XMAP_2 and BC_XMAP_3 in
gx_setup.inc under src/cpu/amd/model_gx1 the irq_table is copied and
verified well.
You should set both to 0x33333333 or 0x77777777 to try this

Sorry no answer for that :(

Read the allwell stb3036 threads, I run in several problems to get the
vga working :D

You should set first the audio device to "on" in the Config.lb under
src/mainboard/eaglelion/5bcm
I have the same NS audio companion chip on my board, but not test this yet.

Sorry, but the datasheets says that the NS LM4548 is a companion for the
internal cs5530 audio stuff. Therefor I think that thing is not
standalone. However, Linux detects this devices as Kalhua Audio.
I will test it in the next days.
