Description

 

 

(hex)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CF

 

 

Test CMOS R/W functionality

 

 

 

 

 

Early chipset initialization:

 

 

C0

 

 

 

-Disable shadow RAM

 

 

 

 

 

-Disable L2 cache (socket 7 or below)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Program basic chipset registers

 

 

C1

 

 

Detect memory

 

 

 

 

 

-Auto-detection of DRAM size, type and ECC

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

C3

 

 

Expand compressed BIOS code to DRAM

 

 

C5

 

 

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

 

 

01

 

 

Expand the Xgroup codes locating in physical address 1000:0

 

 

03

 

 

Initial Superio_Early_Init switch

 

 

05

 

1.

Blank out screen

 

 

 

2.

Clear CMOS error flag

 

 

 

 

 

 

07

 

1.

Clear 8042 interface

 

 

 

2.

Initialize 8042 self-test

 

 

 

 

 

 

08

 

1.

Test special keyboard controller for Winbond 977 series Super I/O chips

 

 

 

2.

Enable keyboard interface

 

 

 

 

 

 

0A

 

1.

Disable PS/2 mouse interface (optional)

 

 

 

2.

Auto detect ports for keyboard & mouse followed by a port & interface swap (optional)

 

 

 

 

3.

Reset keyboard for Winbond 977 series Super I/O chips

 

 

0E

 

 

Test F000h segment shadow to see whether it is R/W-able or not. If test fails, keep

 

 

 

 

beeping the speaker

 

 

10

 

 

Auto detect flash type to load appropriate flash R/W codes into the run time area in F000

 

 

 

 

for ESCD & DMI support

 

 

12

 

 

Use walking 1’s algorithm to check out interface in CMOS circuitry. Also set real-time

 

 

 

 

clock power status, and then check for override

 

 

14

 

 

Program chipset default values into chipset. Chipset default values are MODBINable by

 

 

 

 

OEM customers

 

 

16

 

 

Initial onboard clock generator if Early_Init_Onboard_Generator is defined. See also

 

 

 

 

POST 26.

 

 

18

or 686)

 

 

1B

 

 

Initial interrupts vector table. If no special specified, all H/W interrupts are directed to

 

 

 

 

SPURIOUS_INT_HDLR & S/W interrupts to SPURIOUS_soft_HDLR.

 

 

1D

 

 

Initial EARLY_PM_INIT switch
