| 34 | Major restructuring of hypertransport handling. |
| 35 | Major rewerite of superio/NSC/pc87360 as a proof of concept for handling superio resources dynamically |
| 36 | Updates to hard_reset handling when resetting because of the need to change hypertransport link |
| 37 | speeds and widths. |
| 38 | (a) No longer assume the boot is good just because we get to a hard reset point. |
| 39 | (b) Set a flag to indicate that the BIOS triggered the reset so we don't decrement the |
| 40 | boot counter. |
| 41 | Updates to arima/hdama mptable so it tracks the new bus numbers |

| 43 | Major update of the dyanmic device tree to so it can handle |
| 44 | * subtractive resources |
| 45 | * merging with the static device tree |
| 46 | * more device types than just pci |
| Eric Biederman | 30e143a | 2003-09-01 23:45:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 47 | - 1.1.2 |
| 48 | Add back in the hard_reset method from freebios1 this allows generic |
| Eric Biederman | d4c1452 | 2003-09-01 23:47:37 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 49 | code to reset the box. |
| 50 | Update the hypertransport setup code to automatically optimize |
| 51 | hypertransport link widths and frequencies, and to call hard_reset |
| 52 | if necessary for the changes to go into effect. |
| Eric Biederman | 9bdb460 | 2003-09-01 23:17:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 53 | - 1.1.1 |
| 54 | Updates to the new configuration system so it works more reliably |
| 55 | Removed a bunch of unused configuration variables |
| 56 | Removed a bunch of unused assembly code |
| 57 | - 1.1.0 |
| 58 | A whole bunch of random ppc and opteron work we never put a good label on |

| 60 | Intial development release of LinuxBIOS. |
| 61 | Everything is thrown overboard and will be reincluded as necessary so we can |
| 62 | get rid of the legacy baggage. Since LinuxBIOS was started we have developed |
| 63 | some better techniques for some things, but we still hang on to the old ways |
| 64 | because some ports that we want not to break depend on them. So we preserve |
| 65 | them by preserve the 1.0.x series and keeping only the best practices for |
| 66 | the 1.1.x series. When there is a stable port this code base will |
| 67 | become LinuxBIOS 2.0.x and the core will become frozen. |
