Has anybody knowledge/experience with the EPIA M10000? Is this Board able to do mulitmedia-stuff like playing Fullscreen-DVD-Playback etc.? Is there Suport in Linuxbios for the Chipset: CLE266 North Bridge- VT8235 South Bridge? best regards, Ingo ******************************************* Diese E-Mail enthaelt vertrauliche und/oder rechtlich geschuetzte Informationen.

Fix in SMC superio? and RE: freebios2

The current freebios (1.0) tree won't build correctly when using the FDC37N769 for me. I needed to change 53: cmp %al, $0x4 to 53: cmp $0x4, %al /* 2003-05-12-jordan: order was incorrect for assembler. in src/superio/SMC/fdc37c669/setup_serial.inc Jordan PS: Ron, Thanks for the info on 2.0. >Message: 1 >Date: Sun, 11 May 2003 15:58:31 -0600 (MDT) >From: ron minnich <rminnich(a)lanl.gov> >To: linuxbios(a)clustermatic.org >Subject: freebios2 > >Eric may be too busy to explain freebios2 so I'll pitch in. > >We are trying to freeze the current freebios code base (current goal is >5/15 since fixes keep rolling in) and give people something that works. >First frozen version will be 1.0.1. > >Then we want to move to a new 'cruft-free' code base.

EPIA success and problem
by SONE Takeshi 13 May '03

13 May '03

I somehow succeeded to enable all of 256MB SDRAM at 133MHz, and to enable video using ADLO with original VGA BIOS, on EPIA 5000. It now boots into GRUB in less than 2 seconds. :) (It's too fast for IDE drive to spin up, so I have to hit reset button after cold start.) And, now a strange thing is happening. When I disable USE_GENERIC_ROM and enable BOOT_IDE to boot up the Linux kernel from LinuxBIOS directly, it hangs at "Allocating PCI resources...". It is before these options should take effect. What is happening?? With USE_GENERIC_ROM, memtest86 instead of ADLO as payload works fine (several passes ran without an error, so there is no memory problem). Before I began tweaking DRAM and video registers, I was using BOOT_IDE to boot directly into Linux just fine. -- Takeshi

It doesn't, and this is an important point that I am trying to clarify with their engineers who claim that it will work from 3v3. As I said, if anyone can recommend something better I would love to hear about it.

Greetings, I have committed the fix for RAM on e7501 boards with 533MHz FSB cpus. This has been tested with 400MHz CPUs as well with no apparent problems.

Via VT8601 Northbridge sizeram
by Mark Wilkinson 12 May '03

12 May '03

Hi Ron, While looking at the differences between the LinuxBIOS setting and the Award settings as you suggested yesterday, I came across this little problem. It seems that the sizeram routine is incorrectly reducing the memory size by 1M when there is nothing assigned to the VGA framebuffer. I've attached a patch that corrects the calculation. Regards Mark.

freebios2
by ron minnich 11 May '03

11 May '03

Eric may be too busy to explain freebios2 so I'll pitch in. We are trying to freeze the current freebios code base (current goal is 5/15 since fixes keep rolling in) and give people something that works. First frozen version will be 1.0.1. Then we want to move to a new 'cruft-free' code base. This seemed the right time to branch. I would hope that folks who own mainboards, and who are committers, would start looking at the new code base and seeing what it takes to get moved to it. I will be personally starting work on an Arima K8 mainboard this week. ron

Status of 2.0?
by jarcher 10 May '03

10 May '03

Howdy, I see that Eric has started a 2.0 port for the BIOS. I'm interested in the status and the plans. I've a couple of projects that are looking at using Linux BIOS and I'm doing a test port for a new platform. Eric, can you fill me in? Jordan

E7501 raminit.inc
by steven james 10 May '03

10 May '03

Greetings, I have confirmed that setting 0x80 = 0x0bb6 in the northbridge gets ram going both for 533 and 400 MHz FSB CPUs on x5dpr and tiger i7501 boards. Eric, unless you have a specific objection to that change, I will commit it.
