1) Include llshell.inc in your northbridge Config file 2) In raminit.inc (or whatever), make a jmp out to low_level_shell, setting a return label in %esp. For example: ram_set_registers: mov $llshell_ret1,%esp jmp low_level_shell llshell_ret1: /* Disable and invalidate the cache */ invd mov %cr0, %eax .... 3) Optionally, comment out two lines in ramtest.inc: 5: CONSOLE_INFO_TX_STRING($rt_toomany) // post_code(0xf1) // jmp .Lhlt otherwise, a ramtest failure will hang 4) build and flash as normal If it worked, the speaker will beep, and you'll get a shell. Type help or ? at the prompt for a list of commands.
