[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH 0/7]Patch set for ATI BIOS emulator and ATI framebuffer driver

Hi, All
This patch set add ATI BIOS emulator and ATI video card framebuffer driver to u-boot. The BIOS emulator and the framebuffer driver work for ATI PCI and PCIE video card. We tested the patch set on 9200 PCI card, X300, X700 and X800 PCIE card in u-boot on MPC8641HPCN board. After the video card bios finish runnig in the BIOS emulator, we can use the radeon base driver in kernel directly for those ATI video card.
Following suggestions from Wolfgang, the BIOS emulator in MAI board was removed, and the MAI board now use the BIOS emulator in this patchset(without testing).
As the size of some patches in this patch set exceed the limit of 40K, and can not paste to the mailist directly. I tried put the URL of those patches in the following mail.
Those patches are based on Stefan's video git tree.
Best Regards, Jason

I was not aware that I'm maintining a "video git" tree. What repository exactly are you referring to?

Sorry, I made a mistake. The Video U-Boot tree I based at http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot/u-boot-video.git;a=summar yis is maintained by Rodolfo Giometti.

Jin,
It looks like LIB is missing a $(obj) causing the objects to be built in the source dir.
Second, besys.c::BE_inb references VIDEO_IO_OFFSET which is not defined for most targets. Shouldn't all these files be excluded if CONFIG_BIOSEMU is not defined?

Jin,

Thank you, I'll submit a patch for this later.

The VIDEO_IO_OFFSET is board related, it should be defined in the board configuration file.
