made by AMD. Its major features are: CPU: * AMD AM2+ * AMD Athlon 64 x2 * AMD Athlon 64 FX * AMD Athlon 64 * AMD Sempron CPUs System Chipset: * RS780E * SB700 On Board Chipset: * BIOS - SPI * Azalia CODEC - Realtek ALC888 * LPC SuperIO - ITE8718F(GX). * LAN - REALTEK 8111C * TPM - SLB9635TT1.2 Main Memory: * DDR II * 4 (Max 4GB) Expansion Slots: * PCI Express X16 slot*2 (PCI-E X8 Bus) * PCI Express X4 Slot*1 Intersil PWM: * Controller - Intersil 6323 Note: 1. The only difference to mahogany is the CPU is changed to K8 family 10. 2. The main structure of the code is based on serengeti_cheetah_fam10. I am a rookie to fam10. I am still confused about CONFIG_HT_CHAIN_UNITID_BASE and CONFIG_HT_CHAIN_END_UNITID_BASE. I set them as the way dbm690t does. And I have to modify the some fam10 code (see the patch ht_chain_unitid_base.patch). I dont know how to solve this. Please help. Updated findings: In h3finit.c, the code goes the AMD_CB_ManualBUIDSwapList(). The swaplist is {0x00, 0x00, 0xFF, 0x00, 0xFF}. I am trying to find the meaning of the list. The amdht wrapper needs to modify definitely. 3. With fam10 processor, the HT link can work in HT3. 4. The ACPI _PSS table is set staticly. The auto configuaration process doesnt seem to work correctly. 5. Currently the fam10 code in coreboot doesn't support DDR3. If you happen to get a board with DDR3 and you don't have the patience to wait, please find another board with DDR2. 6. It will take "Uncompressing image to RAM" about 1 minute. I know it is a issue for a long time. I disable the compressing currently. When the problem is fixed, we can re-enable it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS you can find in most of today's computers. It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes one of many possible payloads, e.g. a Linux kernel or a bootloader. 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 * python Optional: * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation) * iasl (for targets with ACPI support) * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets) * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig') 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.
