Steve Goodrich bf0988b0a2 AMD Fam15tn: Split DSDT into common sections
Split the Parmer, Family 15tn, and Hudson DSDT into groups.  This splits
the DSDT table into includable ASL files which carry details specific
to the Family 15tn APU, the Parmer platform, and the Hudson FCH.  The
dsdt.asl file in the mainboard directory contains only #include
references to the appropriate files.

Initially, this split was done by moving each piece of functionality
into its own file (e.g. IRQ routing and mapping, processor tree, sleep
states and sleep methods, etc.) and those pieces were #included in
dsdt.asl to ensure an exact match (via acpidump/acpixtract/iasl -d)
with the extant version of the table.  Once the new tables were found
to exactly match the existing tables, the pieces were rearranged into
reasonable groups (e.g. fch.asl, northbridge.asl, pci_int.asl, etc.).

Some include files have no content but are left as a template for
other platforms and as placeholders for completing the ACPI
implementation for Parmer (e.g. thermal.asl, superio.asl, ide.asl,
sata.asl, etc.).

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:
