what I have serialice set to, but I could play with other rates.
Could the clock generator between the southbridge and superio be doing something funny to scramble the signal?
Can you send a superiotool dump with the serial ports enabled and working? The registers say they're disabled in the one you sent.
Wow your right. That is really weird. This board is a little different anyways with one Winbond W83627HG SuperIO and 4 serial ports....
That is really strange cause I did that superiotool dump connected to the board over serial console. I wonder if there is another chip somewhere that handles the 4 serial ports???
Ah I am not going crazy :-) Looks like on the botton of the board is a fintek F81216DG LPC to 4 UART Chip (www.fintek.com.tw/files/productfiles/F81216_V032P.pdf). That is why the serial ports are disabled on the SuperIO. This should be interesting......got a datasheet to read. Thanks for the help everyone.
Hmm looks like superiotool supports the chip.. why did it only detect superio and not fintek F81216DG???
Yahoo! Yup it looks like superiotool does not probe all the possible fintek config addresses. For the heck of it I hard coded the other addresses and we now have a valid dump. Now I just have to figure out a way to code it into superiotool as not to have a bunch of code duplication.... any ways I am back on track :-) Attached is the correct dump showing both the fintek and winbond chips :-)
