The 5530 in native mode only generates SMI. I've always felt however that
if you make the buffers big enough you ought to be able to drive it off
the 1KHz timer tick by polling. Interesting project.
Looks like somebody did it already. I will try it as soon as I can.
You btw won't have removed the SMM firmware or the box wouldn't boot. The
5530 uses SMM to emulate some of the most basic PC components including
the VGA video.
Hmm. I don't have VGA. Linux was always starting without VGA console. I had to disable display (power off the DAC's) because of constant "Checking FLASH" screen.
