Board:jetway/nf81-t56n-lf

This page describes how to use coreboot on the Jetway NF81-T56N-LF mainboard.

This page is a work in progress. Rows with (WIP)* are high-priority ticket items and shall be addressed soon.

ACPI is still being worked on, however due to the nature of ACPI it may take some time to get this right.

Hardware

Overview

• AMD Fusion G-series AMD Fusion G-T56N (1.65 GHz dual core) APU
• AMD A55E part of the chipset, AMD A55E (Hudson-E1) southbridge
• F71869AD Fintek F71869AD Super I/O
• RTL8111E Twin Realtek RTL8111E network controllers
• VT1705 6-Channel HD Audio (via VIA VT1705), AC97 AD/DA

Details

The NF81-T56N-LF is a IPC form factor embedded board:

• AMD Fusion G-T56N (1.65 GHz dual core) APU

 - 2x SO-DIMM sockets for DDR3 800-1066 SDRAM (1.5 or 1.35V)?
 - VGA and LVDS (via Analogix ANX3110)

• AMD A55E (Hudson-E1) southbridge

 - 6x USB 2.0/1.1 ports
 - 5x SATA3 6Gb/s, 1x mSATA socket
 - 6-Channel HD Audio (via VIA VT1705)
 - PCI and ISA (via ITE IT8888)??
 - NEC uPD78F0532 microcontroller on I2C ("SEMA")??

• 2x RJ45 GbE (via Realtek RTL8111E x2)
• Fintek F71869AD Super I/O

 - PS/2 KB/MS port
 - RS232 header (via Unisonic UTC 75232 RS232 driver/receiver)
 - GPIO header
 - CIR header

• 1x MXIC MX25L1606E (SO8, soldered) 16 Mbit SPI flash (BIOS)

Note: MX25L1606E is 16Mbit, 8bits in a byte, so 2MB. Jetway *lies* claiming the SPI flash is 16MB. They also use red pen over the chip so you wont see this deceit.
