Hardware

The IEI ROCKY-512 mainboard.

Overview

  • GX1-300B-85-20 Cyrix/National/AMD CPU with 300MHz core clock
  • CS5530A-UCE Part of the chipset, Cyrix/National/AMD companion device
  • W83977F-A Winbond Super I/O
  • RTL8139C Realtec network controller
  • SST 29F020A PLCC32 256kiB flash memory to boot (in a socket)

Building FILO

FILO config for IEI ROCKY-512 (boot from CF): 

USE_GRUB = 0
AUTOBOOT_FILE = "hda1:/boot/bzImage syscrtc=/dev/hda1 initrd=hda1:/boot/image.gz clocksource=pit video=gx1fb:monitor:800x600@60,mode:800x600-8@60,crt:1 ide=nodma ide-delay=2 hdb=none ide1=noprobe"
AUTOBOOT_DELAY = 1
IDE_DISK = 1
SERIAL_CONSOLE = 1
SERIAL_IOBASE = 0x3f8
# SERIAL_SPEED = 115200
FSYS_EXT2FS = 1
LINUX_LOADER = 1
# MULTIBOOT_IMAGE = 1

Building a coreboot image

Note: The ROCKY 512 board uses exactly the same code base as the JUKI 511P, as they're very similar. 

$ cd targets
$ ./buildtarget iei/juki-511p
$ cd iei/juki-511p/juki-511p
$ LANG=C make

The LANG=C is only for those users that uses a localised system.

Using the hardware with a current kernel

The current 2.6.23 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 small patch below solves this issue (it was rejected in mainline as it breaks various standard BIOS based Geode systems, as they were shipped with broken PIRQ tables [1]).
