BCOM WINNET100 Build Tutorial

Note: Preliminary only (its currently not part of the repository).

This mainboard was sold by IGEL some years ago as their product IGEL-316. Their product was a Linux based terminal to work remotely with Windows and X.

Using the hardware with a current kernel

The current 2.6.21 kernel does not know the cs5530 interrupt router. So it is impossible to let the kernel itself setup PCI's interrupt routing. Even if you provide the kernel with a valid interrupt routing table (PIRQ). No interrupts will work as the interrupt routing registers are still left at their reset values. The following small patch solves this issue (it was rejected in mainline as it breaks various standard BIOS based Geode system, as they where shipped with wrong PIRQ tables):

Subject: [PATCH 001/001] i386/pci: fix nybble permutation and add Cyrix 5530 IRQ router
From: Juergen Beisert <juergen@kreuzholzen.de>

This patch adds CYRIX_5530_LEGACY to the list of known PCI interrupt router,
to setup chipset's routing register with valid data. It seems never be a
problem if the BIOS sets up these registers. But in the presence of LinuxBios
it fails for Cyrix 5530, due to LinuxBios does not setup these registers
(it leave it at their reset values).

I have no Cyrix 5520 to check, but as the comment in the source states the
Cyrix 5520 and Cyrix 5530 do interrupt routing in the same way. But the
(pirq-1)^1 expression to set a route always sets the wrong nibble, so
INTA/INTB and INTC/INTD are permuted and do not work as expected.
