Description

CFh

 

Test CMOS R/W functionality.

 

C0h

 

Early chipset initialization:

 

 

 

 

-Disable shadow RAM

 

 

 

 

-Disable L2 cache (socket 7 or below)

 

 

 

 

-Program basic chipset registers

 

C1h

 

1. Detect memory

 

 

 

 

-Auto-detection of DRAM size, type and ECC.

 

 

 

 

-Auto-detection of L2 cache (socket 7 or below)

 

 

 

2. PEG slots Auto-Configuration

 

C3h

 

Expand compressed BIOS code to DRAM

 

C5h

 

Call chipset hook to copy BIOS back to E000 & F000 shadow RAM.

 

0h1

 

Expand the Xgroup codes locating in physical address 1000:0

 

03h

 

Initial Superio_Early_Init switch.

 

05h

 

1. Blank out screen

 

 

 

2. Clear CMOS error flag

 

07h

 

1. Clear 8042 interface

 

 

 

2. Initialize 8042 self-test

 

08h

test fails, keep beeping the speaker.

 

10h

 

Auto detect flash type to load appropriate flash R/W codes into the

 

 

 

run time area in F000 for ESCD & DMI support.

 

12h

 

Use walking 1’s algorithm to check out interface in CMOS

 

 

 

circuitry. Also set real-time clock power status, and then check for override.

 

14h

 

Program chipset default values into chipset. Chipset default values are

 

 

 

MODBINable by OEM customers.

 

16h

 

Initial Early_Init_Onboard_Generator switch.

 

18h
