Zheng Bao dec279fa30 1. Features of mahogany.
The code can run on the Mahogany board, which is one of sample boards
made by AMD. Its major features are:
 CPU (only K8 system):
  * 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

2. The ACPI feature is already added. I suggest that firstly we can test
the board without the ACPI by setting the HAVE_ACPI_TABLE as 0.
With Rev F processor, the HT link can only work in HT1, whose max
frequency is 1GHz.

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:
