[LinuxBIOS] Improvements to "Supported Motherboards" wiki page.

[Uwe Hermann]

Hi,

I've modified the wiki page
http://www.linuxbios.org/Supported_Motherboards
quite a bit recently. I'm planning some more changes to make it easier
for people interested in LinuxBIOS to check whether their mainboard is
supported.

I'd like to remove the "Specification" (mostly useless IMHO, info can be
found in the linked vendor pages) and "Chipsets" entries.
They should be replaced with the most important parts someone has to
check to know whether the mainboard is supported.

At a bare minimum I think these entries should be listed:
 * Northbridge
 * Southbridge
 * Super I/O

Any further entries? CPU/Socket maybe?

Also, I'll add an entry for _all_ mainboards in the svn repository, and
list those which are not (yet) functional as "work in progress" or so...


Comments?

Uwe.

CPU/Socket might be useful because it makes it easier to estimate the
effort for porting to a new mainboard by just doing a quick check of the
page.

In addition to southbridge we might want to add "other bridges" like the
8131 PCI-X bridge (we call all of them southbridges in LinuxBIOS context
so far). Maybe "special items"? Then we could add HTC connectors, PCIe,
and some such tags.

  Also, I'll add an entry for _all_ mainboards in
the svn repository, and
 list those which are not (yet) functional as "work in progress" or so...
great!

Done.

I've now added all boards from v2 with their respective data (where I
was able to determine it), as well as the v1 boards.

I noticed that almost none of the v1 boards were ported to v2.
Volunteers welcome :)

Please everyone let me know if you have more information on any "?" entries
on the http://www.linuxbios.org/Supported_Motherboards page (or update the
wiki directly).

The most important right now is the Status field, it should be clear
for newbies from looking at the page whether they can try to use the
code and expect it to work.

The color codes are:
 * green: complete, supported, everything works.
 * yellow: most hardware works, but some smaller problems aren't fixed yet
 * red: port not yet complete, on hold, or major components aren't
   supported, yet.


Thanks, Uwe.

Thats quite a project you have undertaken, im sure now you have raised
awareness, others will not deign to contribute.

Thank You

artecgroup should be green.
ibm 325 and 326 should be green (we did the port years ago and shipped the
systems back to IBM ...)
yinghai is the sun ultra40 in the tree yet? (it still needs some superio

Iwill dk8_htx should be green.

sun ultra40 should be green. ( I will check in some changes about it,
the fans speed reducing worked).

Nice work! Couple of fixes: ArtecGroup dbe61 doesn't have separate Super 
I/O and CPU is AMD Geode™ LX 700.

Geode GX/LX CPU (only BGD/BGU (EBGA/TEPBGA) packages) are always 
soldered onto the board, so socket is obsolete parameter.

About the maintainer - someone from Artec Group but I can't say at 
moment who.

I hope I can send some URLs for dbe61 quite soon.
About the status of dbe61. We have working linuxBIOS but commited 
changes (by Ron) into the mainline needs to be tested. There are some 
differences which are good for linuxBIOS but we can't take those to our 
own tree at this stage. I can work a bit later on this.

Thanks!

Indrek

A couple of notes: "GX2" was only an internal name for the part, it
has and always will be sold as "GX". Yes it is confusing, GX1 came
before GX, but that is how it is. All the "GX2"s should be "GX"s.
Also, the CPU for both OLPC platforms is:

AMD Geode™ GX 500(a)1.0W processor

which also is on the Lippert board.

To answer your question about Sockets for Geode, GX and LX are only
available as BGAs, and there are really no commercial sockets for
them. You could just make the "N/A". GX1 was a PGA, and had a socket,
but I don't remember which.

Oops, one other thing, the OLPC platforms have no Super I/O. (they
have an EC, but it does not get programmed in the "LB Super I/O way")

For the yellow one, which are already working, which not? Are the red

Works with EPIA-M target plus a few hacks (disable firewire/cf-slot,
because of they lack on the board), somebody will have to write clean
modifications and maybe create a configuration or subtree for the ML.

VGA works with an old binary

I'm not the maintainer, I just did some booting time measurements

Just for your information:

In March 2007 the Chemnitzer Linux-Tage (the biggest linux fair in the
eastern part of germany) will take place as every year at the University
of Technology, Chemnitz. Maybe you could meet some developers there to
help improving LinuxBIOS. Register for free if you would like to give a
lecture or present a live demo, to increase the popularity of LinuxBIOS.

Register for a live demo here:

You can essentially drop this one.  I started on it to work on the OLPC 
(is a geode) but found out it had a cs5535 rather than a cs5536.   It

I agree _if_ the board never worked at all and there's no chance that
someone will work on it over the next 1-2 years or so.

But I would _not_ remove it (from svn) if it already worked at some
point (or parts of it).

Currently the wiki lists everything that has a directory in
src/mainboard. Maybe we should list only those boards which actually
work, at least partially...

It did not. And it's still in the revision history.

  Currently the wiki lists everything that has a
directory in
 src/mainboard. Maybe we should list only those boards which actually

abuild tests for $LBROOT/src/mainboard/${VENDOR}/${MAINBOARD}/BROKEN

and ignores boards with that line

Maybe it should read 
$LBROOT/src/mainboard/${VENDOR}/${MAINBOARD}/UNSUPPORTED

and be a basis whether this should appear in the web list or not.

Also,...

would it make sense to generate the web page from the repository,
by adding a boardinfo.xml file in each board subdirectory with the
information?

This information could be used to create a multitude of pages,.. for
example the qa.linuxbios.org things as well...

 Thanks.
 
  Should we delete the cs5535 component as well?
 
 If it was the only motherboard to use it then yeah.
 
I think the GX1 code does not do any memory sizing, does it?
Though the eaglelion/5bcm is using it

lippert/frontrunner seems to be using cs5535

  You can essentially drop this one.  I started on
it to work on the OLPC 
 (is a geode) but found out it had a cs5535 rather than a cs5536.   It 
 would be marked RED.
 I dropped it on your behalf.
 Thanks.

The board i'm working on (IEI Nova 4899R) does detect properly
the memory I'm using (124Mb, 128Mb total with 4Mb reserved for the VGA).


  lippert/frontrunner seems to be using cs5535
But it uses the cs5530 :)

I'm going to need some assistance with this board, but
i'll start a new thread about it soon.
