Thanks.

I tried to include BIOSEMU and RADEON_FB in my u-boot. Bios emulator seems =
to=20
be properly loaded, but when u-boot attempt to read or write Radeon's=20
registers, the board freezes.

What means exactly the value of "VIDEO_IO_OFFSET" in the config file?=20

There is a u-boot's output when I init the VIDEO_IO_OFFSET with PCI's I/O b=
ase=20
address:

and after that follows board reset.

Best regards.
