Details

 

 

 

 

F106H

 

 

PIT test (Cold boot only) and initialization

 

 

 

 

 

 

Setting of test pattern to channel 0 of PIT#0

 

 

 

Check whether the set test pattern can be read

 

 

 

Initialization of PIT channel 0

 

 

 

(Setting of timer interruption interval to 55ms)

 

 

 

Initialization of PIT channel 2

 

 

 

(Setting of the sound generator frequency to 664Hz)

 

 

 

Test of PIT channel 1

 

 

 

(Check whether the refresh signal works normally in

 

 

 

30 micro-s refresh interval) HLT, when the time is out

 

 

 

Test of PIT channel 2

 

 

 

(Check whether the speaker gate works normally)

 

Initialization of devices

which

 

 

CPU clock measurement

 

need initialization before PCI bus

 

 

 

initialization

 

Check of parameter block A

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Permission of SMI except auto-off function

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Control of excess of rated input power

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Battery discharging current control (1CmA)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AC adapter rated over current control

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dividing procedures for time measuring by IRT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Setting for clock generator

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CPU Initialization

 

 

 

Judgment of CPU type

 

 

 

Check of supporting Geyserville

 

 

 

Make CPU clock High

 

 

 

Graphics Aperture Size setup

 

 

 

F107H

Saving memory configuration to

 

 

buffer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reading of EC version

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Update of flash ROM type

 

 

 

 

 

 

Judging of destination (Japan or

 

 

other than Japan) based on DMI

 

 

data

 

 

 

CMOS default setting check

Sets default setting if bad battery or bad checksum

 

(ROM, CMOS) is detected

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ACPI table initialization

 

 

 

(for execution of option ROM)
