This page lists the coreboot status of the Nokia IP530 mainboard. It's maintained by Marc Bertens.

board view

The Nokia IP530 is originally a Firewall that runs on the proprietary IPSO operating system of Nokia, it was based in the FreeBSD operating system. The original is only capable of starting a FreeBSD FS. There is as far as I known no CD support in the orginal BIOS.

The System has no VGA, all console activity must be done through a serial console.==

System Setup

Below the description is given for the connectors on the mainboard of the Nokia IP530, due missing documentation of the manufacturer.

---

J-DEBUG

The JDEBUG connector can be used for attaching an external ROM (flash chip) to the board for BIOS development.

For recovery there can be placed an flashrom board on the J-DEBUG connector. Belowe here the schematic in PDF can be used.

Schematic

As wel the PCB layout in PDF, for this print it on a transparant paper in the highest quality (so it will be very black). From this a PCB can be made.

Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

The 34 pin connector shoud be female 90 degres, so that the board is upright when attached to the IP530. you can select a 32 DIL socket, 32 PLCC socket or both, but not both flashroms inserted only one at the time.

The overview can be used to place the components and solder them in. The red lines in the overview are wires that need to be soldered in.

Overview PCB

When ready flash the rom in a programmer and inserted it into a socket. Attach the board to the main board of the IP530 (notice the PIN 1 of both boards, when you put it wrong the flashrom on the option board will be blown-up.

Jumper JP800 - BIOSCS select

This jumper selected the on-board flash or the J-DEBUG connector where the BIOSCS# line is routed.

J800 Jumper

Pin#	Name	Description
1	JDEBUG.P22	This is connected to PIN 22 of the JDEBUG connection on the board
2	BIOSCS#	Connected to the ROMCS# line of the Northbridge
3	CS#	This is connected to CS# of the on-board flash chip.

The WP# line of the on-board flashchip is controlled by Pin39 of the SMSC FDC37B787 Super I/O chip.

On the production boards the J800 is not present and the R814 (0 Ohm) is placed, remove this resistor and solder in the 3 pin-jumper for JP800. And place the jumper on position 2-3 to select the on-board flash chip.

---

Jumper JP900

This is a input signal on the Super I/O chip.

J900 Jumper

Pin#	Name	Description
1	GND	Ground of the system
2	GPIO16	Pin 4 of the SMSC FDC37B787 Super I/O chip.

Pin 2 is pulled-up by resistor up VCC.

---

Jumper JP901

This is a input signal on the Super I/O chip.

J901 Jumper

Pin#	Name	Description
1	GND	Ground of the system
2	GPIO67	Pin 90 of the SMSC FDC37B787 Super I/O chip.

Pin 2 is pulled-up by resistor up VCC.

---

Jumper JKBD

JKBD Connector

Pin#	Name	Description
1	VCC	VCC +5 volt
2	DATA	The DAT line of the PS2 keyboard (pin 70 SMSC FDC37B787)
3	CLOCK	The CLK line of the PS2 keyboard (pin 71 SMSC FDC37B787)
4	GND	Ground of the system

Front LEDs

LEDs in front

LED	Control line	Description
Fault	FDC37B787-GP13	active low
Alert	FDC37B787-GP17	active low

 #define REG_GP1x		0xF6
 #define LED_FAULT		0x08
 #define LED_ALERT		0x80
 
 sio_enter_config( 0x3F0 );
 val = sio_read( 0x3F0, REG_GP1x );
 
 // To enable the ALERT led
 val &= ~LED_ALERT;
 
 // To disable the ALERT led
 val |= LED_ALERT;
 
 // To enable the FAULT led
 val &= ~LED_FAULT;
 
 // To disable the FAULT led
 val |= LED_FAULT;
 
 sio_write( 0x3F0, REG_GP1x, val );
 sio_leave_config( 0x3F0 );

By using the sio_xxx() functions from flashrom, makes easy work dis-/en-abling the LEDs in the front.

USB Connections

This requires two wires to be soldered on the backside of the mainboard, pictures will be added later

Put the mainboard upside down, and the power connector facing you. Find the footprint of the 82371 southbridge. Locate the two pads; i directly above (about 1.5 mm) the F1 pin of the SB, and 1 to left (about 15mm) of the A5 pin of the SB.

Solder two wires to the two pads, be aware that the USB lines are polarity sensitive !!!

                  27R
 * pickup from somewhere on the board the power lines VCC 5 volt and GND (for instance on the JKBD connector pin 1 for VCC and pin 4 for GND)

With this you have succesful added the USB port on the Nokia-IP530.

Installing/booting the Nokia-IP530

The IP530 came with 8, 16 and 32Mb CF cards. There is available for download a 32Mb image that will start with the vendor bios. This image which can be placed on the standard CF card of the IP530.

 #[sudo] dd of=/dev/<cf-card-device> of=./linux-nokia-ip530-coreboot.img

Download 32Mb CF card image (7.9Mb)

This is not a distrubution, but a lean and mean installation with a stable kernel. This image is intended to be used for upgrading, testing and developing coreboot on a x86 system.

Place the CF card in the slot of the IP530, connect a serial cross cable. get a terminal program (like putty) set the speed to 115200 Bps None, 8, 1 and boot up the IP530.

You must get a prompt.

When installing Linux on/for a Nokia-IP530, there are two ways; 1 use a donor PC or installation of s a distro that uses the serial console for its installation. The kernel boot customation, must be something like this "apci=off console=ttyS0,115200n8" apci=off is nessary due that the Nokia-IP530 coreboot bios does'nt support APCI yet. Make sure that the ttyS0 is enabled in inittab, or some other place depending on the distro.

Other OSes

It should be posible to run any OS that is able to run without the following devices: - Videocard - Keyboard - Mouse - Floppy - Paralell port

So NO windows :-)

---

Flashing

Depending on the board revision, the board revision can be found on the inside of the machine, its on little stickers on the right-side of the board. There are currently to revisions (A/B) available doe the IP530.

 coreboot-nokia-ip530-board-rev-a.rom
 
 coreboot-nokia-ip530-board-rev-b.rom

Both rom images are on the Download 32Mb CF card image (7.9Mb)

For flashing the images read the documentation of flashrom.

---

Feedback

Havefun with your Nokia-IP530, any remarks about this please email me on pe2mbs@yahoo.co.uk

You can mail me too if you have a board revision that is not supported yet, you must be able to load the rom image "coreboot-nokia-ip530-board-rev-b.rom", but be prepared that maybe not all hardware is working.
