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. |
