Add the northbridge file for AMD's new Mullins and Steppe Eagle
processor family. Since the processor family name is not the
same across AMD's sales and marketing channels, I have elected
to use part of the processor ID as the family name. The intent
is to reduce confusion since the processor ID is the same for
both families. This northbridge support has only been validated
on the AMD Embedded variants ("Steppe Eagle").
The AGESA wrappers in coreboot have a function that is intended to
mirror the UMA memory allocation performed during memory initialization
by AGESA. Update the Steppe Eagle memory allocation to mimic the
memory reservation done inside the AGESA BLOB.
Change the default CBMEM address, the default video BIOS device ID,
and a couple of other defaults to match changes in coreboot community
code.
The northbridge chip.h specifies how many processor sockets, how
many channels, and how many DIMM slots are supported by the
northbridge. Steppe Eagle does not permit multisocket systems
and has only one memory controller channel.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload. With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required. coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS. Payloads -------- After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot. See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads. Supported Hardware ------------------ coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards. For details please consult: * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices Build Requirements ------------------ * gcc / g++ * make Optional: * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation) * iasl (for targets with ACPI support) * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets) * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig') * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers) Building coreboot ----------------- Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details. Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware ------------------------------------------------ If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU. Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details. Website and Mailing List ------------------------ Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website: http://www.coreboot.org You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list: http://www.coreboot.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on coreboot is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
