AMD Geode Developer Support Site. This site was
designed as a self-help support site for engineers designing solutions using
the Geode line of processors and platforms. It is on Windows 2000 server,
with Lotus Notes as the web platform. |
 |
Processors section. Chose to develop a tabbed
navigational structure for sections as opposed to the standard AMD
multi-level row-and-highlight structure, which is confusing and busy.
Arranged information by product. Implemented OpinionLabs Rate-This-Page
functionality within top navigation bar and in footer of page. |
 |
GX2 processor page. Each page had information
subdivided by category, cross-linked to the appropriate companion device,
and cross-referenced to the correct System Design page. In order to track
site usage as well as specific page and document usage, implemented the IBM
SurfAID product site wide. This was completely incorporated into every
section of the site. |
 |
CS5535 companion device page. Cross-referenced
to processor and system design pages. |
 |
System Platforms section. Unlike main AMD site,
controlled all style information through CSS. This wasn't just font sizes,
but things like table formatting, color schemes, and link behavior. Instead
of manually applying styles, you'd simply assign a feature to a particular
class. This was important in keeping the site synched with the main AMD
site; they would make style changes and publish them with Vignette; I would
have to be able to make stylistic changes in one place without having the
ability to republish on a whim... |
 |
SP4GX22 system platform page. Cross-linked to
the appropriate processor, companion device, and system design pages. Also
included links to the archived products on the system platform menu, so that
if you weren't a frequent visitor to the site, you would still be able to
find the product for which you needed support. |
 |
Continuation of the SP4GX22 system platform
page. |
 |
System Platform overall documentation page. |
 |
Software section. Integrated Lotus Notes
scripting with HTML-based navigation and standard pages. Part of the section
displayed software dynamically and part from standard file containers. |
 |
Example of dynamic lists in software section. |
 |
Example of specific package in software
section. |
 |
Scrolled down to end of page in previous
example. |
 |
System design section. This section contained
the reference schematics and design layout recommendations for each product
in the Geode line. The concept was to provide a quick and easy way for
designers and engineers to get the documentation they would need to build
solutions quickly from Geode products. |
 |
GX2/CS5535 System Design page. |
 |
System design page for the PNX 1300 etc.
product line supporting multimedia. |
 |
Archives section. This was for old or obsoleted
products; no further support was available, but at least the old reference
material was still posted. |
 |
CS9211 Device page. Shows documentation,
application notes etc. for product. |
 |
SP1SC22 card support page. Usually, the
archived pages were not tied back to the current product pages, but this one
is an exception because it is related to the multimedia product line. This was to
avoid confusion in navigation. |
