Last September AMD had provided an open-source AtomBIOS parser for use by the RadeonHD driver in order to communicate with this video BIOS abstraction layer found on the past few generations of ATI graphics cards. While we are still waiting on the R600 sample source-code and 3D register documentation to arrive, AMD has today released a new AtomBIOS parser. This parser is coming out of their KGrids project, which we have previously mentioned in the past, and will allow for a clean AtomBIOS parser to enter the Linux kernel.

You can dump the bios from your own card; there's a "connector" utility included in the radeonhd source tree to make it easy.

The AtomBIOS parser code is linked into the open source graphics drivers, and allows the driver to execute the bytecode command tables included in the BIOS ROM. Those routines are specific to the card containing the BIOS and probably won't work properly on a different card.
