coreboot for the Switch
eff2ffdee8
* SATA initialization. * USB initialization. * HDA initialization. * LPC initialization. * IDE initialization. * SMBUS initialization. Note: 1. I tried to add the description of every step to the code. For example, if it is made based on rpr, section 2.4.5, I will pasted the words from 2.4.5 to the c code. But the document I worked with might be different with the most updated one. A new section has been added and the 2.4.5 might be changed to 2.5.5. That migh lead to confusing. I correct every comment if I met one. But I have to confess that I am so reluctant to find out everyone. I believe it will be correct in the long run. 2. I only test the SATA port 0-3. The ports 4, 5 are "PATA emulations". I am confused about it. 3. This patch is not only about SB700. Actually it should be SB7x0. But I dont think it is nice to change everything to SB7x0. It is ugly, isn't it. As far as I know, they all use the same code with revision checking. If you guys think it is appropriate, please modify it to sb7x0.

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