Hello,
I have recently obtained an Asus C60M1-I motherboard, based on the C60 Fusion APU and Hudson A50M chipset. As it appears that adapting E350-based motherboards using the same chipset was relatively straightforward, I would like to explore getting it to work with my motherboard also.
There is one thing that I would like to confirm though: Although my motherboard does have SVM (CPU virtualisation) available, after testing with Xen Community Platform I have found that I haven't got IOMMU (I/O virtualisation) available. The thing is, similar motherboards based on the E350/450 do have this feature.
Reading around, it is considered that IOMMU is a feature of the chipset which has to be exposed by the EFI firmware in the form of the "DMAR" ACPI table. Asus doesn't provide this except on certain server-oriented motherboards, other manufacturers do.
So would implementing coreboot for my motherboard help with this?
