Board:msi/ms7135

Coreboot on the K8N Neo3 (MS-7135).

There are two versions of this board. The K8N Neo3 H has a solder-on PLCC flash and brown AGR slot. The K8N Neo3 F has a yellow AGR slot and a socketed flash.

In addition to the stock 512KiB LPC flash (such as Windbond W39V040A), 1MiB LPC flashes (SST 49VF080A) are usable.

Voltage Control

This section is presented for reference, coreboot currently ignores this chip, leaving the hardware-default memory voltage at 2.55v and the CK804 at 1.50v.

The MS-6 chip appears at address 0x2f (or 0x5e if you consider the R/W bit part of the address) on the secondary SMBus.

The chip is accessed by writing its I²C address, followed by writing a register index, and then reading or writing a data byte.

MS-6 registers as used on MS-7135

index	function
0x00	RAM voltage adjust
0x02	Southbridge core voltage adjust, via MS-6+ companion

Index 0x00

value	volts
0x00	2.55v
0x01	2.50v
0x02	2.60v
0x03	2.65v
0x04	2.70v

Index 0x02

value	volts
0x10	1.50v
0x11	1.55v
0x12	1.60v

A keen observer will note these are in this order in the OEM BIOS setup program.
