Hello, linuxbios. I want to make my own bios for my MB DFI CA61 chipset is VIA82C693 Can I make it by myself, if you have knowledge to start it more easy, please, send a message... 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.

I don't mind the direct mail but please cc the list for any LB related questions and such as there is a lot of stuff that I may not know the answer to or that someeone has a better answer for. First: You need to figure out how you are going to get LB onto your motherboard. You need to figure out what type of Flash part you have and how you are going to program it. Who makes your mainboard? Are there specs (or pictures) on-line I can go look at? What kind of IC programming tools to you have access to? Second: You need to figure out what SuperIO is on your motherboard and if LB supports it. The SuperIO is going to be responsible for the serial port output. If you don't have serial output. Debugging is going to be _much_ harder. SuperIO's are usually on the ISA bus so lspci isn't much help you have to look on the board and get a Mfg and a part number. If LB dosn't support you super IO it's not hard to add but you will need the SuperIO docs.

Voodoo 3 (rev 01) This may be a problem. None of the AGP registers in the Northbridge are set. Our board has onboard PCI video. A bitworks/ims manboard config should boot to a payload easy assuming you can program the flash. Is the flash part socketed? Also lspci dosen't show what SuperIO you have. What superIO is on the board? You will have to have that setup correctly to get serial output.

RE: Pentium-M with E7501 Chipset Implementation

You may need to copy 82801ER to 82801CA, and change device id to meet that with CA. Regards YH _____ From: Jay Nelson [mailto:jay.nelson@copansys.com] Sent: Monday, July 19, 2004 2:57 PM To: linuxbios(a)clustermatic.org Subject: Pentium-M with E7501 Chipset Implementation Hello, I am so pleased to find a freebios for Linux Im beside myself. I have been researching freebios2 with the hope that I can use it for the following configuration: Intel Pentium-M (Dothan) 2MB L2 cache running at 1.8GHz Intel E7501 chipset: MCH P64H (82870P2) ICH3 (82801CA) Headless with RS232 mapped to a custom FPGA connected to the ICH3 PCI32 bus. It appears that the Tyan platform S2735 is the closest match to my configuration. The 82801CA is probably close enough to the 82801ER to work. Any hints/thoughts on this project would be appreciated.

sis630et and sis630 difference
by zhu shi song 17 Jul '04

17 Jul '04

The only difference between ecs p6stmt MB and winfast6300 is that they use the different sis chipset. P6stmt use sis630ET, winfast6300 use sis630. So Doc2001 which can work on winfast6300 can't work on P6stmt. Is it right? thanks zhu --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Vote for the stars of Yahoo!'s next ad campaign!

how to setup dll.inc of sis630
by zhu shi song 17 Jul '04

17 Jul '04

I've got elitegroup MB P6STMT based sis630e. It's hard for me to setup the correct value of dll.inc(0x8c~0x8f). (1) I copy the value from winfast6300. My Doc2001 can boot but linux kernel will hangup. (2) I copy the value from pcchips/m787cl+. MB halt. (3) I copy the value from elitegroup/p6stp-fl. It is just the same as winfast6300. who know how to guess the four values in dll.inc? thanks zhu --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Vote for the stars of Yahoo!'s next ad campaign!
