This page describes how to use coreboot on the BCOM WinNET P680 motherboard. This board is used in the HP/Neoware e140 (aka CA22) and Igel 4210LX Winestra thin clients.

This page is a work in progress.

Status

Works somewhat. See known problems below. Work is in progress to fix these issues.

Known problems

  • L1/L2 cache are running extrememly slow, 11-12MB/s per Memtest86+. As a result, loading kernel/initrd is very slow
  • irq_tables.c from the factory BIOS does not work. The epia-cn table has been substituted, but it has problems too (Ethernet doesn't work right: 50% packet loss.). A workaround is to use the kernel parameter "irqpoll"
  • Boot log shows INT15 handler isn't working
  • hda in Linux is hde in FILO
Device/functionality Status Comments
CPU
CPU works OK
L1 cache enabled OK Always on
L2 cache enabled OK Always on
L3 cache enabled N/A
Multiple CPU support N/A
Multi-core support N/A
Hardware virtualization N/A
RAM
EDO N/A
SDRAM N/A
SO-DIMM N/A
DDR N/A
DDR2 OK Board only has a single laptop-sized DDR2 slot which does not support many larger (1GB+) sticks in the factory BIOS. Some of this may be corrected by coreboot, but some is a chipset limitation. More should be known when coreboot is working again.
DDR3 N/A
Dual channel support N/A
ECC support Untested
On-board Hardware
On-board IDE 3.5" Partial hda in Linux is hde in FILO. IDE device doesn't get reset properly on boot (sometimes shows up as a floating bus)
On-board IDE 2.5" N/A
On-board SATA N/A
On-board SCSI Unknown
On-board USB OK
On-board VGA OK Needs factory VGA bios and bochsbios.
On-board Ethernet Partial 50% packet loss. Probably due to a bad IRQ table. See above.
On-board Audio Untested
On-board Modem N/A
On-board FireWire N/A
On-board Smartcard reader N/A
On-board CompactFlash Unknown Igel 4210LX has CF slot with jumpers to select Master/Slave on the same "chain" as the 44-pin IDE connector. Untested but should work. It should also be possible to solder a CF slot onto the Neoware board.
On-board PCMCIA N/A
On-board Wifi N/A
On-board Bluetooth N/A
On-board SD card reader N/A
Add-on slots/cards
ISA add-on cards N/A
Audio/Modem-Riser (AMR/CNR) cards N/A
PCI add-on cards Untested Needs rightward angle adapter to fit card into case
