VIA Announces SPI Support Across All Processor Platforms

VIA Technologies today announced support for the advanced SPI bus in all new VIA South Bridge chipsets.

The SPI bus is an advanced I/O bus that makes the support of system BIOS simpler and more cost effective through an onboard BIOS programming module. The implementation of SPI on VIA-based boards will enable easier updating, debugging and reprogramming of BIOS, and at lower cost, by attaching a flash programming module, such as those from DediProg, to the easy-to-use onboard connector, even when the computing device is powered down.

VIA will integrate SPI bus support into new VIA chipset product releases to support all leading processor platforms, commencing with the upcoming VIA VT8237S chipset South Bridge, which is sampling now.
