Background

I started gathering informations about ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe motherboard

  • the Intel i875P is currently not supported by coreboot, here are datasheets:
http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/875p/documentation.htm
  • It will perhaps need "82875P/E7210 Processor to PCI to CSA Bridge" register setup to have onboard ethernet working...

Hardware

  • Intel i875P Northbridge
  • Intel i82801ER (ICH5R) Southbridge
  • Winbond W83627THF-A Super I/O (ISA 290h) (http://www.lm-sensors.org/ticket/1469)
  • Intel P4 Prescott (stepping 9) Socket 478 CPU 2.80 GHz
  • 2 * 512 MB PC-3500 DDR-SDRAM Corsair XMS CMX512-3500C2 433 MHz
  • RD1 PMC4 BIOS Savior on PLCC socket
  • PMC Pm49FL004T-33JC - spare flash chips for work and backup (in case I flash the RD1 with a non working image)
