Introduction

This pages is about the port to the M4A785T-M, this mainboard is very similar to the M4A785-M, but:

  • it has DDR3 instead of DDR2

The port is in the very early stages...(it will be ok when screen will not flickers at resolutions > 800x600)

Building the serial port adapter

You'll need to build a serial port adapter to get the coreboot logs during. Here's a picture of the serial port connector on the mainboard:

And here's the kind of cable you will need:

And you'll need to build a cable similar to this one(on the picture the DB9 is connector is a male connector):

Here's how it looks like on the mainboard:

Here's a table of corresponding pins:

Mainboard connector pin Mainboard pin Function Standard DE9 pin connector Standard DE9 pin Function Mandatory for coreboot
1 ? ? ? No
2 RX 3 TX Yes (you could do without but it's advised to get it to use certain functions of coreboot)
3 TX 2 RX Yes
4 4 DTR No
5 Ground 5 Ground Yes
6 ? ? ?
7 7 RTS
8 8 CTS No
9 ? ? ? No

Adapting GNU/Linux

Before booting with coreboot, do the following:

  • blacklist the snd-hda* modules (refer to the usual way to get help for the GNU/Linux distribution you want to run for doing that)

Building Coreboot
