== Building coreboot ==
See the [[Build HOWTO]] for general information on how to build coreboot.
Here are two alternative build methods. When the second one is tested to work, the first one should be removed from this page.
=== Method 1: Apply patches ===
This is a more complicated method, but it is tested to work on revision 5795 and 5792. Find 
[http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2010-September/060303.html patches from the mailing list].
1. Check out Coreboot from SVN
2. chdir to coreboot
3. <pre>svn cp src/mainboard/amd/tilapia_fam10 src/mainboard/asus/m4a785-m</pre>
4. Apply patches
<pre>
% patch -p1 < ../patches/asus-m4a785m-small-patch.patch
% patch -p1 < ../patches/multiboot-table-after-cb-table-r5756-v2.patch
% patch -p1 < ../patches/generic-code-patches-for-m4a785m.patch
</pre>
5. <pre>make menuconfig</pre>
* Select mainboard vendor Asus and model M4A785-M
* Select ROM chip size 1 MByte
* Select Use VGA console once initialized
* Select Use onboard VGA as primary video device (if you are using it)
* Add payload (grub2 and coreinfo tested to work)
* Add VGA BIOS, if you are going to use the onboard VGA.
The BIOS for the on-board ATI Radeon HD 4200 can be extracted with dd
from /dev/mem as shown in [[VGA_support]] . The
bios_extract utility can extract some other option ROMs, but it crashes
before it gets the VGA ROM.
* If on-board VGA BIOS is added, set VGA device PCI IDs to "1002,9710"
6. make
* The result should be a working coreboot.rom.
=== Method 2: Use trunk code ===
The patches used above are integrated to the Coreboot trunk in revision 5809 and later. However, revision 5796 introduced some changes that cause the SATA and USB controllers to not work anymore.
This will likely be corrected in some later revision, but it is not tested.
Trunk version can be built using the above instructions, but obviously skipping the svn copy and patching steps.
== Known issues ==
* The on-board "Azalia" audio codec does not work. Linux probes and finds it, but the driver in Linux 2.6.32 either crashes or causes a flood of interupts. The solution is to configure Linux to not load the driver snd-hda-intel module on boot.
* After flashing Coreboot, soft reboot to Coreboot usually fails. Hard reset button results in a successful boot.
=== RAM ===
* 2 GB RAM (1x2GB) - Boots
* 4 GB RAM (2x2GB) - Payload crashes
* 6 GB RAM (3x2GB) - Payload crashes
