Asus B202 port

Hi, I'm working on port coreboot to Asus Eee Box B202
(http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=QUObl5lSRQQ3lSqJ). Code is based on
Intel d945gclf target.

So far I have console running. Boot halts on sdram initialization before
"Extended Mode Register Set(2)", sometime goes one or two steps ahead.

Any idea how to move on?

Cheers

Dump the MCHBAR registers before jedec init and compare them against an
inteltool dump running with the original vendor bios.

Hm.. FSB supports up to 667

This looks suspicious. It MEM=667 is not supported.

Several:

* Are you selecting NORTHBRIDGE_INTEL_I945GC in your mainboard Kconfig
  file? Then you are using code for the wrong chipset. You need to
  select NORTHBRIDGE_INTEL_I945GM.

* Are you using the coreboot reference toolchain? If not, and the
  above does not work, please build the coreboot reference toolchain
  with util/crossgcc/buildgcc, then delete your .xcompile file.
