Fam10h support for Tyan S2912-E
by Arne Georg Gleditsch 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

Hi, I have a S2912 system that I'd like to run coreboot on. As I understand it, both the S2912 and Fam10h is supported seperately, but some porting is required to make the combination work. I'd like to work on getting this configuration operational. If anyone has any pointers on how to tackle it, that would be more than welcome. Thanks in advance, -- Arne.

Still some A8N-E topics left
by Andy Jakobs 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

Dear Uwe, I have just seen, that you edited the coreboot´s wiki for the ASUS A8N-E board and marked it working. Unfortunately it seems, that the board does not work as good as expected. There are some "topics" left. Pls. see comment from the wiki http://www.linuxbios.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2007-May/021308.html Especially my system still suffers on the VGA_ROM initialisation. Meaning, it works as long as I boot with the legacy bios and do a reboot after flash of coreboot. After a power-off the VGA does not come up again. Even a reset does not bring it back. As I am actually at work, I can´t send you any logs yet. But if needed I can as soon as I am home again.

it8712f patch
by Marc Jones 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

This patch allows the dbm690t SIO to work. The changes affect the Asus a8n_e. Can someone with a a8n_e test this? Thanks, Marc -- Marc Jones Senior Firmware Engineer (970) 226-9684 Office mailto:Marc.Jones@amd.com http://www.amd.com/embeddedprocessors The AMD dbm690t mainboard uses the it8712f SIO with the default 48MHz clock input. The Asus a8n_e uses the it8712f with a 24MHz clock input. The it8712f early init code was setting a 24MHz input clock. Since 48Mhz is the default I added a function to set 24MHz input clock to the a8n_e.

Or is there something magical behind that variable that really needs to be written 2 times in a row ? If this is the case I would add a big fat comment about that fact... -- Vincent Legoll
