Code | Description | |
CPU INIT | CPU Initiation | |
DET CPU | Test CMOS R/W functionality. | |
| Early chipset initialization: | |
CHIPINIT | ||
| ||
| ||
DET DRAM | Detect memory | |
DC FCODE | ||
Expand compressed BIOS code to DRAM | ||
EFSHADOW | Call chipset hook to copy BIOS back to E000 & F000 shadow RAM. | |
DC XCODE | Expand the Xgroup codes locating in physical address 1000:0 | |
INIT IO | Initial Superio_Early_Init switch. | |
CLR SCRN | 1. Blank out screen | |
2. Clear CMOS error flag | ||
| ||
INIT8042 | 1. Clear 8042 interface | |
2. Initialize 8042 | ||
| ||
ENABLEKB | 1. Test special keyboard controller for Winbond 977 series Super I/O chips. | |
2. Enable keyboard interface. | ||
| ||
| 1. Disable PS/2 mouse interface (optional). | |
DIS MS | 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. | |
R/W FSEG | Test F000h segment shadow to see whether it is | |
fails, keep beeping the speaker. | ||
| ||
DET FLASH | Auto detect flash type to load appropriate flash R/W codes into the run time | |
area in F000 for ESCD & DMI support. | ||
| ||
TESTCMOS | Use walking 1’s algorithm to check out interface in CMOS circuitry. Also set | |
| ||
PRG CHIP | Program chipset default values into chipset. Chipset default values are | |
MODBINable by OEM customers. | ||
INIT CLK | ||
Initial Early_Init_Onboard_Generator switch. | ||
CHECKCPU | Detect CPU information including brand, SMI type (Cyrix or Intel) and CPU | |
level (586 or 686). | ||
| ||
INTRINIT | Initial interrupts vector table. If no special specified, all H/W | |
interrupts are directed to SPURIOUS_INT_HDLR & S/W interrupts to | ||
REC MPS | SPURIOUS_soft_HDLR. | |
Initial EARLY_PM_INIT switch. | ||
Reserved | Load keyboard matrix (notebook platform) | |
Reserved | HPM initialization (notebook platform) | |
| 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 CMOS checksum fails, use | |
| default value instead. | |
| 3. Prepare BIOS resource map for PCI & PnP use. If ESCD is valid, take | |
SET FDD | into consideration of the ESCD’s legacy information. | |
4. Onboard clock generator initialization. Disable respective clock resource | ||
| ||
| to empty PCI & DIMM slots. | |
| 5. Early PCI initialization: | |
| ||
| ||
INITINT9 | ||
Initialize INT 09 buffer |
