Dear All,
I am working on an mother board with AMD 690 chipset (lspci at the bottom of this mail). All works perfectly , using mainboards/amd/dbm6990t. The only thing is that the two on board 88E8056 - they are not detected at all. If I plugin a PCI card with a wireless lan chip, it works fine. Is there anything specific I still need to do in the Config.lb for the mainboard - I was under the assumption that these kind of devices would work out of the box. Thanks for any debug tips you could give me.

Hi, On dbm690t, it has to enable onboard NIC by pulling up (or down) a GPM. See the code in mainboard.c
The schematic should be checked to see if there is a pin controlled by southbridge to enable the NIC.

Hi,
Thanks for the tip. I check and verified. My NIC's are different - they are Marvell's while the reference board has Broadcom. I have measured the pin lom_disable on my NIC's , and it is at normal level in both award bios and coreboot - so I don't think it is the problem. For my next test - I have plugged in a RAID card of x8 pci express in the board ... It works under award, but it does not show up under coreboot - so I must be missing some kind of setting ..... My previous test was with PCI , that worked fine. Strange.
Greetings, Daniel

Can you try all PCIe slots with a PCIe x1 card? If none of the slots work in x1 mode, we have a fundamental PCIe problem, whereas failure of x8 cards is different. I'm just trying to isolate the problem, so this may be a dead end.
Please run "lspci -nnvvvxxx" and "lspci -nnvt" both with coreboot and with the proprietary BIOS. That will show us the bus structure.
Which board are you using? Do you have a photo of the board and/or a description of the PCI and PCIe slots (how many of them, electrical vs. physical size)?

Hi,
I am very very sorry to have provided the wrong info at first : the PCIe x8 DID work anyway - I had messed up my Config.lb to a stage where it was to far of from the original. After a recompile and reflash the PCIe x8 (raid) card came up just fine.... So yes, I am getting a x1 card tomorrow, with the same marvell chipset , and will test it. If it works properly, I am just going to have to wait for the schematic (will get it only a few weeks later unfortunately.....) and determine the gpio that is keepint the marvell's from showing up. It is definately not GPM3 as in the reference schematic - I have tried this already. The board is an ODM which my company outsourced to a board manufacturer - will send all the info and pics ASAP. It has a x16 slot and a mini pci slot. The two 88e8056's are soldered on board. The rest of it is pretty much equal to the dbm690T. It also has on on board touch panel controller. So far I got the VGA , USB , SATA, IDE, audio Codec , all working fine. I guess what is still left for me to do is solve the problem with the lan chips and write proper ACPI tables - so that I can upload it your source tree ?

No problem. Great to hear PCIe works.

The lspci output I requested earlier would still be very interesting. It is possible that subordinate buses (containing the Marvell ethernet) don't show up as expected.
It is definately not GPM3 as in the reference schematic - I have tried this already. The board is an ODM which my company outsourced to a board manufacturer - will send all the info and pics ASAP.
Cool! Will these boards be available for purchase? Most 690G/SB600 boards are out of production and porting coreboot to them is somewhat pointless. I repeatedly get requests for coreboot-supported mainboards with AMD chipsets.

It should be possible to reuse most parts of the DBM690T ACPI tables. Since a few revisions, some parts of ACPI are autogenerated, so hardcoding P-States etc. should not be needed anymore.
There's one catch, though: My Asus M2A-VM (690G/SB600) won't work with more than 4 GB RAM and coreboot. Proprietary BIOS handles even 6 GB just fine. The problem seems to be ACPI related. I have a patch to allow 64-bit addresses in the DSDT and that patch fixes parts of the problem. Even with that bugfix, the Linux kernel still won't get past SATA init. With 2 GB RAM, everything is OK. I assume that problem applies to your board as well. It would be great if you could verify that, though.

Hello,
Finally resolved the issue's with the Marvell's: It was indeed a GPIO - GPIO 5(SHUTDOWN#) from SB600 to be exact. Turning on that GPIO brought up both LAN chips. Going to continue now, with more deeper tests, and try to help you with the DDR/ACPI testing as good as I can. My board has two SODIMM slots. By the way, the board will be available for sale , most likely - but I can't provide details yet - as it is was intended for other use originally. I will keep you posted on this. Greetings, Daniel

Just to add another voice to this - if you are going to sell the board the FSF will be happy, and I will add it to our recommended hardware page, which currently only lists boards that are now (very) hard to find. So, the sooner it is available, the better!
Thanks, Ward.
