New subject: AMD northbridge information on the wiki

Right. Some board manufacturers call the 785G "RS785", and AMD's own
website doesn't have a clear list of which codename corresponds to which
product name. Running a search on AMD's website comes up pretty empty.
OTOH, RS880 is mentioned in the RS780 RPR, so we can assume it works
with the existing code (and IIRC one board in the tree uses 785G, so
that assumption is safe).
...
Sorted by codename, the chipsets I can find are*
Codename    Product Name        Documentation?
RS690       AMD 690G chipset    x[2]
RS690C       AMD 690V chipset    x[2]
RS690E      AMD M690E chipset    x[2]
RS690M       AMD M690 chipset    x[2]
RS690MC     AMD M690V chipset    x[2]
RS690T       AMD M690T chipset    x[2]
RS740       AMD 740G chipset
RX740       AMD 740 chipset
Some stuff about AMD 740 family in wikipedia is simply crap/rumor.
Basically, AMD 740 is AMD 690 with a smaller process size and slightly
updated graphics core. AFAIK you can use the AMD 690 code without
problems after adding one PCI ID.
...
RD780       AMD 790X chipset
RS780       AMD 780G chipset    x[1]
RS780C      AMD 780V chipset     x[1]
RS780D      AMD 790GX chipset    x[1]
RS780E      AMD 780E chipset     x[1]
RS780L      AMD 760G chipset
RS780M      AMD M780G chipset    x[1]
RS780MC      AMD M780V chipset    x[1]
RX780       AMD 770 chipset
RX781       AMD M770 chipset     x[1]
RD790       AMD 790FX chipset
RS880       AMD 785G chipset
So realistically how soon can I expect practical RS880/785G support,
if not already? My dev machine/home server/HTPC rocks a Asus
M4A785TD-M EVO with this chipset. I'll assemble a dump later but it
sports, off my head:
Phenom II X4 965
AMD 785G
IT8705 superio and some ACPI interface to it for hardware monitoring -
I wonder if I can work that interface into my P2B-LS :P
8Mbit SPI flash, socketed
Cheers
