690/600 Just starting out.

[Dan Lykowski]

Hi, 
I'm just starting to find the time to get involved in coreboot.
My board is an Advantec SOM-5781. It seems pretty close to the reference design so I thought I would give loading the vanilla dbm690t bios a shot.
I have a Sempron 2100+ in a AM2 socket. ITE IT8712F SuperIO @ 0x2E.

Has anyone seen this before? It keeps happening over and over. I'll be looking in to it tonight. My understanding so far is that it is only supposed to happen once.

Thanks
Dan Lykowski

The dbm690t uses S1G1 socket. The mainboard/amd/xxx/Config.lb should be
modified to AM2.

That's fine for testing but, Dan, if that test works let's get a
mainboard directory set up for your new board the "right" way.

Thanks

Ron,
 That sounds ok. I copied over dbm690t in both the mainboard and target directories to advantech/som-5781. I will be getting things to work in those directories. Should I submit a non-working patch to get things started?

The som-5781 is com-express so the SuperIO lives on the baseboard. The developer baseboard that I am using has an ITE chip on it whereas the release board will have a Winbond. I don't see any way to select at configuration time which SuperIO/Baseboard is connected. Would it make sense to implement a standard SuperIO interface and just link against the one we want? Would there be a need to support multiple SuperIO in the same system? Has there been any steps taken towards doing this? Any interest other than myself?

The release baseboard is a custom embedded design so it doesn't really make sense to have a directory for it. Thoughts on how to handle this?

Thanks
Dan Lykowski

When we did our dbm690t, we set up a SVN server in our own server, which everyday work was submit to. When we think the work is good enough, we send a patch to the community. That is a little complicated, but I believe it is a good way.
Currently the SuperIO is not only configured in Config.lb, but also is included in cache_as_ram.c. Based on this code structure, it is difficult to make a single switch to decide which SuperIO we are using.
Everything makes its own sense. I believe you should make up a new directory in mainboard for each SuperIO.

I agree. The design of the config tool and runtime is not set up for
different types of superios. Just make two boards.

Thanks
