At the moment i am working on a open-pci 68k gfx driver.
Its still working in a "framebuffer"-mode as long as i am trying to support all kind of amiga-pci-systems.
openpci is great for this kind of drivers, but some very lowlevel operations during hw-init must be separated for different pci-systems.
So it seems to be impossible to read the pci-rom trough powerpci/openpci on Amithlon.
I have to code the bars directly like pci-specs describe it.
But here is the problem, it will work for ONE time, after a reset the system hangs if i try to read the pci-rom again.
This problem seems to be old ... amithlon-open:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/amithlon/message/13190Is there an existing workaround or a bugfix?
Or some documented "softreset" code for pci-slots?
An other solution could be a resetproof resident-structure with a copy of the gfx-card.rom generated during the first amithlon-coldstart.
But I like to read the real rom before i start playing with resident-structures.
Thanx in advance.
