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 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):

# !!! NOTE !!!
# Do NOT add spaces or comments at the end of option lines.
# It confuses some versions of make.
# Use grub instead of autoboot? USE_GRUB = 0
# Image filename for automatic boot and optional command line parameter 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"
# Time in second before booting AUTOBOOT_FILE AUTOBOOT_DELAY = 1
# Driver for hard disk, CompactFlash, and CD-ROM on IDE bus IDE_DISK = 1
# Serial console SERIAL_CONSOLE = 1 SERIAL_IOBASE = 0x3f8 # if SERIAL_SPEED is commented out, the speed will not be changed. #SERIAL_SPEED = 115200
# Filesystems FSYS_EXT2FS = 1 # i386 options
# Loader for standard Linux kernel image, a.k.a. /vmlinuz LINUX_LOADER = 1
# Boot FILO from Multiboot loader (eg. GRUB) #MULTIBOOT_IMAGE = 1

Building a coreboot image

$ 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]).
