Status update

Current status as of first update:

• We can open up aseg and write to it on our test machine, ainfvec (ICH2).


• We can trigger and retrigger SMIs on ainfvec.


• We have working aseg code that writes to video memory from C space.


• We have PCI write skeletons for Linux and raw I/O.


• We have a working ELF loader that 'raw loads' ELFs into memory from inside Linux.


• We have a multiboot kernel that can be loaded from GRUB, using Joshua's p1 console.c. Does nothing more than print parameters and spin.


• Build system surely needs work.


• Modularity need work.

Immediate todos:

• Get grubload to return to GRUB later.


• Load ELF/SMM code from grubload.

Later todos relating to current code:

• Refactor machine specific/northbridge specific code into users of a PCI module.


• Have PCI code scan bus and enumerate cards.
