[LinuxBIOS] 答复: OLPC source codes

[Hao Li]

I am not sure about this:
1) I cannot find codes enabling SMIs that permit each module
(especially virtualized device) generate SMI when accessing it.
2) where should VSA be put in memory? OLPC codes put VSA code at 
6000h:20h, which is about 384KB. I think it can be overwritten 
when I use Linux as payload. 
Should we put this codes in the top of memory?(120MB maybe)
3) the definitions of how and what modules connect to GLIU0 in northbridge
in
OLPC codes are different from what gx2 databook saying...

Regards

LinuxBIOS is free. AMD has helped writing it. Which parts are you missing? 

Whats DMM?
