2) the patch implements get_cbmem_toc in chipset specific way if defined. On Intel targets it should be unchanged. On K8T890 the the cbmem_toc is read from NVRAM. Why you ask? Because we cannot do it as on intel, because the framebuffer might be there making it hard to look for it in memory (and remember we need it so early that everying is uncached) 3) The patch removes hardcoded limits for suspend/resume save area (it was 1MB) on intel. Now it computes right numbers itself. 4) it impelements saving the memory during CAR to reserved range in sane way. First the sysinfo area (CAR data) is copied, then the rest after car is disabled (cached copy is used). I changed bit also the the copy of CAR area is now done uncached for target which I feel is more right. I think I did not change the Intel suspend/resume behaviour but best would be if someone can test it. Please note this patch was unfinished on my drive since ages and it would be very nice to get it in to prevent bit rotten it again. Now I feel it is done good way and should not break anything. I did a test with abuild and it seems fine.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 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.
