Daniel,
mainboard.c already looks like this in src/mainboard/via/epia-m. It
seems to take care of both the $3122 and $3123 devices.
There are other weird things happening. LB _does not_ compile the way
it used to out-of-the-box, even for older revisions. It gives me
linking errors every time I try to enable VGA
(CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA,CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN), unless I increase the
ROM_IMAGE_SIZE, as recommended by Stefan. I figured maybe my payload
was too large and pushing the image > $10000, so I recompiled filo with
a bunch fewer options, and it was only 26K (vs 39K before), and it still
won't link without increasing ROM_IMAGE_SIZE to $12000. I'm not sure if
this is related, but it is weird. Can ROM_IMAGE_SIZE be changed w/o
changing any of the other parameters?
Also, does anyone have a good explaination of:
ROM_SIZE (Appears to be total size of your rom chip)
ROM_IMAGE_SIZE (Size of this rom image, fallback or normal), defaults
to $10000 (64K)
ROM_SECTION_OFFSET=0x10000 ???
ROM_SECTION_SIZE=0x30000 ??? ROM section == total used by LB minus VGA
rom size???
void write_protect_vgabios(void)
{
device_t dev;
printk_info("write_protect_vgabios\n");
/* there are two possible devices. Just do both. */
dev = dev_find_device(PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, 0x3122, 0);
if(dev)
pci_write_config8(dev, 0x61, 0xaa);
dev = dev_find_device(PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, 0x3123, 0);
if(dev)
pci_write_config8(dev, 0x61, 0xaa);
}
