Stefan,

    Yes I'm using the right driver, I'm not sure if that driver is doing what we need to run this chip, I didn't make it, but I'll improve it if it's needed,
 I took this register data awhile ago , and I have some discussions at IRC to have a look on register 0x23...

    So far I can't get 8718 on my POST card
Which register is related with UART setting ? I'll find out on datasheet anyway, but it would be very nice if you have a clues...

Is it :
LDN 0x01 (COM1)
idx 30 60 61 70 f0 f1 f2 f3

?
How can I retrieve that value to my POST card for debugging and see what it's saying to us ?
Cheers,
RH

Everyone,

I tried to initialize UART on IT8718F and it stopped at 0xD2...
Here's the complete function, any clues ?
Yes, there is a halt() right after the post_code(0xd2); so that is where
your last post code is coming from.

use superiotool (from coreboot/util) to dump the superio registers on a
running system and compare them with what you write in there and the
data sheet.

Are you sure you are using the correct SuperIO driver?

Stefan
