Defi nition

Use walking 1's algorithm to check out interface in CMOS circuitry. Also set real-time clock power status, and then check for override.

Reserved

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

Reserved

Initial Early_Init_Onboard_Generator switch

Reserved

Detect CPU information including brand, SMU type (Cyrix or Intel) and CPU level (586 or 686)

Reserved

Reserved

Initial interrupts vector table. If no special specifi ed, all H/W interrupts are directed to SPURI- OUS_INT_HDLR & S/W interrupts to SPURIOUS_softHDLR.

Reserved

Initial EARLY_PMI_INIT switch

Reserved

Load keyboard matrix (notebook platform)

Reserved

HPM initialization

Reserved

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 and PnP use. If ESCD is valid, take 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:

-Enumerate PCI bus number

-Assign memory and I/O resource

-Search for a valid VGA device and VGA BIOS and put it into C000:0.
