Remove dependency on Elbox's pci.library #1
Comments
This is being worked on in KlozetPCI project: |
Dependency could already be made to a minimum for at least the sonnet card if voodoo3 gfx memory initialization code could be added to the sonnet.library (and other gfx card memory initialization code). However, all other mediator functionality (graphics, network, usb etc.) will still be dependent on the pci.library in this case. Until now the way to initialize the voodoo3 gfx mem eludes me. |
Did you perhaps investigate the supposed new functionality of pci.library 11.0? I.e. "New pci.library gives the possibility to reallocate (free and allocate) PCI spaces from the driver for the specific PCI card". Does the 11.0 library still lock up the system when Sonnet is installed? |
Not yet. But I can confirm that the Amiga starts up with pci.library 11.0 2016-07-20 9:25 GMT+02:00 Radosław Kujawa notifications@github.com:

Since they have eliminated the problems with startup, maybe it would be possible use stock non-patched pci.library? |
I think so, yes. I've installed it on my A1200 and also made a quick Cannot really run anything on it as I cannot load any software yet (that is Op 20 jul. 2016 11:16 a.m. schreef "Radosław Kujawa" <

11.0 seems to work. Also I think I have enough info to replace the pci library on the big box Amigas, but I'm lacking time and it's prioritized rather low on my list. |
In an unexpected turn of events, Elbox started cooperating with Dennis on updating pci.library to fully support Sonnet (and other future accelerators). Therefore this task seem unnecessary and would be a pure waste of resources. |
