From 96ffc55bfd3fa5500fbe6b315f81462d421fb1f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli Date: Sun, 27 Nov 2011 15:58:38 +0100 Subject: Add ASUS M4A785T-M mainboard support This mainboard is very similar to the M4A785-M, but it has DDR3 instead of DDR2. That's why most of the code was copied or included from the m4a785-m directory Notable changes between the two mainboards include: * the selection of the last microcode (mc_patch_010000b6.h) which made it pass the CPU init. * the selection of DDR3 which made it pass the ram init This change was tested with the Trisquel 5.0 GNU/Linux distribution which uses the linux-libre version 2.6.38-12-generic The mainboard boots fine, however some special care is required for the onboard sound CODEC, and the onboard video chip: * the onboard sound CODEC(snd-hda-* has to be blacklisted), the issue is the same than the ASUS M4A785-M mainboard: It causes a flood of interupts which prevents booting * The internal video chip currently requires pci=nocrs, else the graphics are frozen as soon as the radeon module loads, and dmesg would print the following(the card only has 256M, and the mainboard was equiped with 2G of RAM): [ 3.674762] [drm] radeon: 3584M of VRAM memory ready [ 3.679863] [drm] radeon: 512M of GTT memory ready. instead of : [ 45.876088] [drm] radeon: 256M of VRAM memory ready [ 45.876089] [drm] radeon: 512M of GTT memory ready. * The screen(both VGA and HDMI) flickers at high resolution * Sometimes the computer freeze while changing the resolution (even the serial console stops responding) The following peripherals were tested: * The ath9k PCI wireless card was tested * The SATA hard disk works fine * the USB keyboard and mouse work fine * htop see 2 cores * serial port works under coreboot and GNU/Linux * power off and reboot works CPU frequency cannot be changed yet, this is addressed in a new commit.
