AW: PMON documentation

AW: PMON documentation

[erras stefan]

I'm using PMON version 0.0291 (This says the boot sequence via serial port)
I have to do modifications in the section for the RTC. Where can I find the code for this modifications.
We have problems with our RTC because it does not work very well with the actual initialization.
I'm searching for a good manual for the used assembler in PMON. Can anybody help me?

I think there were too many versions of "PMON" floating out there. I'm not sure which one you have.

If you are starting from scratch, take a look at uboot. I think that would be a much better alternative.

Which board is this? I think we may still have a version of PMON for the 
ITE 8172 board somewhere.
As far as docs, I don't have any.
