Table D-6 Uncompressed Initialization Codes

The following runtime checkpoint codes are listed in order of execution. These codes are uncompressed in F0000h shadow RAM.

Checkpoint

Description

 

Code

 

 

 

03h

The NMI is disabled. Next, checking for a soft reset or a

power on condition.

 

 

 

05h

The BIOS stack has been built. Next, disabling cache

memory.

 

 

 

06h

Uncompressing the POST code next.

 

07h

Next, initializing the CPU and the CPU data area.

 

08h

The CMOS checksum calculation is done next.

 

0Ah

The CMOS checksum calculation is done. Initializing

the CMOS status register for date and time next.

 

 

 

 

The CMOS status register is initialized.

Next,

0Bh

performing any required initialization before the

 

keyboard BAT command is issued.

 

0Ch

The keyboard controller input buffer is free.

Next,

issuing the BAT command to the keyboard controller.

 

 

The keyboard controller BAT command result has been

0Eh

verified. Next, performing any necessary initialization

 

after the keyboard controller BAT command test.

 

 

The initialization after the keyboard controller BAT

0Fh

command test is done. The keyboard command byte is

 

written next.

 

 

The keyboard controller command byte is written. Next,

10h

issuing the Pin 23 and 24 blocking and unblocking

 

command.

 

 

Next, checking if <End or <Ins> keys were pressed

 

during power on.

 

11h

Initializing CMOS RAM if the Initialize CMOS RAM in

 

every boot AMIBIOS POST option was set in AMIBCP

 

or the <End> key was pressed.

 

12h

Next, disabling DMA controllers 1 and 2 and interrupt

controllers 1 and 2.

 

 

 

13h

The video display has been disabled. Port B has been

initialized. Next, initializing the chipset.

 

 

 

14h

The 8254 timer test will begin next.

 

19h

The 8254 timer test is over. Starting the memory refresh

test next.
