Hello Everyone,
I am currently working on a custom Denverton board similar to the Intel Harcuvar board. I am working to enable the Intel Lan controller, Did anyone generate the GbE.binary(firmware) for the Intel Lan controller of denverton atom or should i check with Intel for binary? We are using flash descriptor and ME binaries integrated into the coreboot, similar way i am working to integrate the GbE binary as well part of coreboot to properly initialize the Lan controller.
Hi Balaji,
Not sure about Denverton, but on Ivy Bridge the GbE partition is just configuration data and since it contains the MAC address, it's specific to one unit and not to one type of board.
Regards, Felix
Thank you Felix for the details.
Intel FIT Tool does not provide other options except enabling the GbE region and option to add the binary file for Lan controller 0 and 1 region.
I wanted to enable the region to properly initialize the pcie region as well to get the correct details for the Intel Lan controller. Currently i could see only the default device id which is not supported by Intel Lan kernel driver.
Regards, Balaji
