APPENDIX
IB730 User’s Manual
61
POST (hex)
Description
12h
Use walking 1’s algorithm to check out interface in CMOS
circuitry. Also set real-time clock power status, and then check
for override.
14h
Program chipset default values into chipset. Chipset default
values are MODBINable by OEM customers.
16h
Initial Early_Init_Onboard_Generator switch.
18h
Detect CPU information including brand, SMI type (Cyrix or
Intel) and CPU level (586 or 686).
1Bh
Initial interrupts vector table. If no special specified, all H/W
interrupts are directed to SPURIOUS_INT_HDLR & S/W
interrupts to SPURIOUS_soft_HDLR.
1Dh
Initial EARLY_PM_INIT switch.
1Fh
Load keyboard matrix (notebook platform)
21h
HPM initialization (notebook platform)
23h
1. Check validity of RTC value:
e.g. a value of 5Ah is an invalid value for RTC minute.
2. Load CMOS settings into BIOS stack. If CMOS checksum
fails, use default value instead.
3. Prepare BIOS resource map for PCI & PnP use. If ESCD is
valid, take into consideration of the ESCD’s legacy
information.
4. Onboard clock generator initialization. Disable respective
clock resource to empty PCI & DIMM slots.
5. Early PCI initialization:
-Enumerate PCI bus number
-Assign memory & I/O resource
-Search for a valid VGA device & VGA BIOS, and put it
into C000:0.
27h
Initialize INT 09 buffer
29h
1. Program CPU internal MTRR (P6 & PII) for 0-640K memory
address.
2. Initialize the APIC for Pentium class CPU.
3. Program early chipset according to CMOS setup. Example:
onboard IDE controller.
4. Measure CPU speed.
5. Invoke video BIOS.
2Dh
1. Initialize multi-language
2. Put information on screen display, including Award title, CPU
type, CPU speed … .
33h
Reset keyboard except Winbond 977 series Super I/O chips.
3Ch
Test 8254
3Eh
Test 8259 interrupt mask bits for channel 1.
40h
Test 8259 interrupt mask bits for channel 2.
43h
Test 8259 functionality.
