Report: The AmigaOne XE, third part (Czech)
In the first part, Martina Hřebcová had devoted herself to the AmigaOne XE in its entirety and subjected it to various tests. The second part dealt in detail with the use of various graphics cards and prepared test results and correlations.
The now available third part (machine translation) is a loose continuation of the two previous parts and deals with hardware interrupts in the AmigaOne XE. It is on the one hand an essay about the theoretical basics, on the other hand a tutorial how to correct a faulty U-Boot PCI initialization so that PCI cards can be used correctly using a PCI-to-PCI(e) bridge.
