RE: [U-Boot-Users] PCI video display in MPC8270
Hi Wolfgang,
Thank you very much for the response and I'm sorry about the HTML posting. (I was not aware my e-mail account was setup for this.)
- Does our system require a VGA BIOS (aside from U-boot)
to display
console (and later on to display a GUI, i.e. X Windows, Tiny X)?
Probably yes; alternatively you can try an enable the x86 emulation code in U-Boot and use this to run the card BIOS init code.
Just a few more questions if you have the time.
1. Is there a document in U-boot or in your website that discuss the x86 emulation?
2. For my own verification, is the x86 emulation code located in board/MAI/bios_emulator?
3. Is there any other boards that you know of that uses this x86 emulation other than the AmigaOneG3SE?
4. Would there be a switch to just enable the x86 emulation in U-boot (i.e. CONFIG_X86_EMULATION)? There is probably no such thing but I'd rather get the correct information from you.
Again, thank you for all the answers to my questions.
Regards, Maynard

I have to admit that I don't know such details either.
