https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/BIOS-manual/m-p/822333#M6058 Writing a program/exectuive, residing on a USB storage device, from which the machine will boot, without the need of any known operating system/bootloader, is my area of interest at present (out of sheer fascination for microporessor).<BR /><BR />For that purose, i found very good manuals for the two motherboards and their associated chipsets on intel.com website, apart from the manuals for IA-32 and Intel 64 architecture.<BR /><BR />But there seems to be a lack of such manual for the BIOS running on those motherboards. While it may be possible to start writing the executive/boot program ignoring what BIOS is there, but that would require a entirely new driver for display, keyboard etc.<BR /><BR />I was wondering if Intel does provide any manual/reference for BIOS in order to use it inside the boot program/executive.<BR /><BR />Btw, i have two intel motherboards, S975XBX2 and DG33FB and i like them :) Tue, 11 May 2010 09:50:53 GMT sujoykroy 2010-05-11T09:50:53Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/BIOS-manual/m-p/822333#M6058 Writing a program/exectuive, residing on a USB storage device, from which the machine will boot, without the need of any known operating system/bootloader, is my area of interest at present (out of sheer fascination for microporessor).<BR /><BR />For that purose, i found very good manuals for the two motherboards and their associated chipsets on intel.com website, apart from the manuals for IA-32 and Intel 64 architecture.<BR /><BR />But there seems to be a lack of such manual for the BIOS running on those motherboards.
