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

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

check for override.

1. Check validity of RTC value:

 

 

 

e.g. a value of 5Ah is an invalid value for RTC minute.

 

 

 

2. Load CMOS settings into BIOS stack. If Smos check-

 

 

 

sum fails, use default value instead.

 

 

24h

Prepare BIOS resource map for PCI & PnP use. If ESCD

 

 

 

is valid, take into consideration of the ESCD’s legacy infor-

 

 

 

mation.

 

 

25h

Early PCI Initialization:

 

 

 

• Enumerate PCI bus number

 

 

 

• Assign memory & I/O resource

 

 

 

• Search for a valid VGA device & VGA BIOS, and put it

 

 

 

into C000:0

1. If Early_Init_Onboard_Generator is not defined

 

 

 

Onboard clock generator initialization. Disable respec-

 

 

 

tive clock resource to empty PCI & DIMM slots.

 

 

 

2. Init onboard PWM

 

 

 

3. Init onboard H/W monitor devices
