The continuation ID code does not go further than checking for IDs of the type 0x7fXX, but does this for vendor and product ID. The current published JEDEC spec has a list where the largest vendor ID is 7 bytes long, but all leading bytes are 0x7f. The list will grow in the future, and using a 64bit variable will not be enough anymore. Besides that, it seems that the location of the ID byte after the first continuation ID byte is very vendor specific, so we may have to revisit that code some time in the future. (Suggestion for a new encoding: Use a two-byte data type for the ID, the lower byte contains the only non-0x7f byte, the upper byte contains the number of 0x7f bytes used as prefix, which is the bank number minus 1 the vendor ID appears in.) Add support for EON EN29F002AT.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LinuxBIOS README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LinuxBIOS is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS you can find in most of today's computers. It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes one of many possible payloads, e.g. a Linux kernel. Payloads -------- After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by LinuxBIOS. Examples include: * A Linux kernel * FILO (a simple bootloader with filesystem support) * GRUB2 (a free bootloader; support is in development) * OpenBIOS (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation) * Open Firmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation) * SmartFirmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation) * GNUFI (a free, UEFI-compatible firmware) * Etherboot (for network booting and booting from raw IDE or FILO) * ADLO (for booting Windows 2000 or OpenBSD) * Plan 9 (a distributed operating system) * memtest86 (for testing your RAM) Supported Hardware ------------------ LinuxBIOS supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards. For details please consult: * http://www.linuxbios.org/Supported_Motherboards * http://www.linuxbios.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices Website and Mailing List ------------------------ Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the LinuxBIOS website: http://www.linuxbios.org You can contact us directly on the LinuxBIOS mailing list: http://www.linuxbios.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on LinuxBIOS is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
