Checkpoint

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

03

Disable NMI, parity, video for EGA, and DMA controllers. Initialize BIOS, POST, runtime data

 

 

 

area. Also initialize BIOS modules on POST entry and GPNV area. Initialized CMOS as

 

 

 

 

mentioned in the kernel variable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

04

Check CMOS diagnostic byte to determine if battery power is OK and CMOS checksum is

 

 

 

 

OK. Verify CMOS checksum manually by reading storage area. If the CMOS checksum is

 

 

 

 

bad, update CMOS with power-on default values and clear passwords. Initialize status

 

 

 

 

register A. Initializes data variables that are based on CMOS setup questions. Initializes both

 

 

 

the 8259 compatible PICs in the system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

05

Initializes the interrupt controlling hardware (generally PIC) and interrupt vector table.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

06

Do R/W test to CH-2 count reg. Initialize CH-0 as system timer. Install the POSTINT1Ch

 

 

 

 

handler. Enable IRQ-0 in PIC for system timer interrupt. Traps INT1Ch vector to

 

 

 

 

"POSTINT1ChHandlerBlock."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

08

Initializes the CPU. The BAT test is being done on KBC. Program the keyboard controller

 

 

 

 

command byte is being done after Auto detection of KB/MS using AMI KB-5.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

C0

Early CPU Init Start -- Disable Cache - Init Local APIC.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

C1

Set up bootstrap processor Information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

C2

Set up bootstrap processor for POST.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

C5

Enumerate and set up application predecessors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

C6

Re-enable cache for bootstrap processor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

C7

Early CPU Init Exit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0A

Initializes the 8042-compatible Keyboard Controller.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0B

Detects the presence of PS/2 mouse.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0C

Detects the presence of Keyboard in KBC port.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0E

Testing and initialization of different Input Devices. Also, update the Kernel Variables. Traps

 

 

 

the INT09h vector, so that the POST INT09h handler gets control for IRQ1. Uncompress all

 

 

 

available language, BIOS logo, and Silent logo modules.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

13

Early POST initialization of chipset registers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

24

Uncompress and initialize any platform specific BIOS modules.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

30

Initialize System Management Interrupt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2A

Initializes different devices through DIM. See Table 86, “DIM Code Checkpoints” on page 131

 

 

 

for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2C

Initializes different devices. Detects and initializes the video adapter installed in the system

 

 

 

 

that have optional ROMs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2E

Initializes all the output devices.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

31

Allocate memory for ADM module and uncompress it. Give control to ADM module for

 

 

 

 

initialization. Initialize language and font modules for ADM. Activate ADM module.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

33

Initializes the silent boot module. Set the window for displaying text information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

37

Displaying sign-on message, CPU information, setup key message, and any OEM-specific

 

 

 

 

information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

38

Initializes different devices through DIM. See Table 86, “DIM Code Checkpoints” on page 131

 

 

 

for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

39

Initializes DMAC-1 & DMAC-2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3A

Initialize RTC date/time.
