Hello,
Does qemu aim to completely emulate the Intel 440bx northbridge hardware
(and maybe other) to detail, or instead does it on purpose skip some
parts for the sake of simplicity?
As an example, I've seen that the RAM parameters are written in CMOS
instead of doing it using SPD and some RAM control registers, as
documented in the 440 datasheet.
This only affects the BIOS code that does RAM detection, so the Bochs
BIOS code would also need to be changed accordingly.
Thanks,
Cristi
