No offense to ubuntu intended, but i think i'm going to report my wm8505 reverse-engineering findings (and -when appropriate-..) kernel builds in NextVolume's forum, here:
http://s0.blackmage.co.uk/~nextvolume/via_arm/index.php
from now on.
My reason is that i feel that this forum thread is getting so long that it is difficult to find back 'things' without resorting to google as a 'find pre-processor'.
A forum -with topic-wise subdivision- is -i feel- a better way to keep track of what is what.
I'll scan 'here' from time to time, and pm-s will result in a notification e-mail to me, so if you have something specific to report you will be able to 'find' me
NB: i'm quite a bit 'underway' in parsing the disassembled u-boot i 'grabbed' from my wm8505 machine(s). I 'found' the video framebuffer & video controller registers (i think..), as well as most of the I/O addresses of the other devices in the wm8505 SoC.
I also 'dug out' the command-table, the video configurations table the invaluable 'printf' routine and lots and lots of error strings, so i hope the going will be a bit faster from here on.
