coreboot for the Switch
because not all emulators get the ram size registers right, or so we hear. This northbridge is still incomplete. We are not just copying the v2 one, as we are trying to undo the various hacks that crept in over the years, due to limitations in the v2 device model. Just look at the i440bx in v2 and you can see what I mean. We are working to find a better way to get the job done than those hacks. They are just too confusing for people to follow. add an include for the northbridge makefile into the qemu Makefile. Re-order the includes in arch/x86/Makefile so we can pick up .o files from other places. Add a STAGE2_CHIPSET_OBJ for objects defined in those makefiles included in mainboard. Current issues: the enable_dev function for the i440bx is not getting called. Enable_dev should be renamed to phase3_setup or something that actually means something. The name as it is is totally useless. Signed-off-by: Ronald G. Minnich <rminnich@gmail.com> Acked-by: Ronald G.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LinuxBIOS README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LinuxBIOS 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. Payloads -------- After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by LinuxBIOS. Examples include: * A Linux kernel * FILO (a simple bootloader with filesystem support) * GRUB2 (a free bootloader; support is in development) * OpenBIOS (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation) * Open Firmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation) * SmartFirmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation) * GNUFI (a free, UEFI-compatible firmware) * Etherboot (for network booting and booting from raw IDE or FILO) * ADLO (for booting Windows 2000 or OpenBSD) * Plan 9 (a distributed operating system) * memtest86 (for testing your RAM) Supported Hardware ------------------ LinuxBIOS supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards. For details please consult: * http://www.linuxbios.org/Supported_Motherboards * http://www.linuxbios.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices Website and Mailing List ------------------------ Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the LinuxBIOS website: http://www.linuxbios.org You can contact us directly on the LinuxBIOS mailing list: http://www.linuxbios.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on LinuxBIOS is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
