Kevin O'Connorf292f3b2008-06-28 12:19:52 -04003Disable a20 on jump to 16bit mode.
Kevin O'Connor22dfb852008-06-07 15:24:19 -04004
5Do a pci scan for ide controllers - don't just assume ISA ports are
6available.

Kevin O'Connorc7812932008-06-08 23:08:12 -04008The keyboard driver should detect ctrl+alt+del and reboot the
9machine.
10
Kevin O'Connorf292f3b2008-06-28 12:19:52 -040011Fix keyboard LEDs.
12
Kevin O'Connorf13b0082008-08-17 11:26:42 -040013Improve option rom handling. A real bios can copy the option roms
14from PCI space. Also, there is no handling for BCVs today.
15
16Clean up and clarify usage/scope of .bss and .data variables.

Kevin O'Connor5c4a8c62008-05-12 23:50:16 -040029Look into ways to reduce stack usage. Alter ISRs so that they do not
30enable irqs. Only call out to other bios functions after minimizing
31stack usage.
Kevin O'Connor2ad37442008-05-06 19:49:01 -040032
Kevin O'Connor7a558e42008-03-11 20:38:33 -040033Audit all sti/cli calls. Audit all call16 calls to make sure flags is
34setup properly with respect to irqs.
Kevin O'Connor44c631d2008-03-02 11:24:36 -050035
Kevin O'Connored128492008-03-11 11:14:59 -040036Audit statements where a 32bit intermediary changes meaning of a 16bit
37comparison.
38
Kevin O'Connor63dbcfb2008-03-01 22:17:07 -050039Code assumes ebda segment is static - it doesn't read 0x40e.
40
Kevin O'Connorb8aacb02008-03-01 14:56:07 -050041The __call16 code does a long jump to the interrupt trampolines - this
42is unnecessary.
Kevin O'Connorf076a3e2008-02-25 22:25:15 -050043
Kevin O'Connorf076a3e2008-02-25 22:25:15 -050044Cleanup setting of ES on GET/SET_BDA
45
Kevin O'Connor65e63422008-07-19 14:12:32 -040046Audit code for 16bit protected mode accesses.
47
48Support 1ab1 from 16bit protected mode.
49
50Verify option roms wont stomp on seabios stack and bss.
51
Kevin O'Connor2ad37442008-05-06 19:49:01 -040052Possibly implement 32bit pcibios support.
Kevin O'Connorf076a3e2008-02-25 22:25:15 -050053
54Allow one to select adding 32 bit code to 0xf000 or in a separate
55location.
56
Kevin O'Connor65e63422008-07-19 14:12:32 -040057See if it is possible to handle interrupts while in 32bit mode.
58
Kevin O'Connorf13b0082008-08-17 11:26:42 -040059Add a kconfig style configuration program instead of requiring users
60to modify config.h.
61
Kevin O'Connor22dfb852008-06-07 15:24:19 -040062Look at integrating the lgpl vgabios into tree.
Kevin O'Connor65e63422008-07-19 14:12:32 -040063
64Look at usb booting specs. Look at possibly supporting usb
65keyboard/mice.
66
67Add a graphical boot splash screen?
