Appendix D – Flash BIOS Programming & POST Codes
Chassis Plans
67
FD
Program the flash part.
FF
The flash has been updated successfully. Make flash write disabled. Disable ATAPI
hardware. Restore CPUID value back into register. Give control to F000 ROM at
F000:FFF0h.
Table B-3 POST Code Checkpoints
The POST code checkpoints are the largest set of checkpoints during the BIOS pre-boot process.
The following table describes the type of checkpoints that may occur during the POST portion of the
BIOS:
Checkpoint Description
03
Disable NMI, Parity, video for EGA, and DMA controllers. Initialize BIOS, POST,
Runtime data area. Also initialize BIOS modules on POST entry and GPNV area.
Initialized CMOS as mentioned in the Kernel Variable "wCMOSFlags."
04
Check CMOS diagnostic byte to determine if battery power is OK and CMOS checksum
is OK. Verify CMOS checksum manually by reading storage area. If the CMOS
checksum is bad, update CMOS with power-on default values and clear passwords.
Initialize status register A.
Initializes data variables that are based on CMOS setup questions. Initializes both the
8259 compatible PICs in the system
05
Initializes the interrupt controlling hardware (generally PIC) and interrupt vector table.
06
Do R/W test to CH-2 count reg. Initialize CH-0 as system timer.Install the POSTINT1Ch
handler. Enable IRQ-0 in PIC for system timer interrupt.
Traps INT1Ch vector to "POSTINT1ChHandlerBlock."
07
Fixes CPU POST interface calling pointer.
08
Initializes the CPU. The BAT test is being done on KBC. Program the keyboard
controller command byte is being done after Auto detection of KB/MS using AMI KB-5.
C0
Early CPU Init Start -- Disable Cache – Init Local APIC
C1
Set up boot strap processor Information
C2
Set up boot strap processor for POST
C5
Enumerate and set up application processors
C6
Re-enable cache for boot strap processor
C7
Early CPU Init Exit
0A
Initializes the 8042 compatible Key Board Controller.
0B
Detects the presence of PS/2 mouse.
0C
Detects the presence of Keyboard in KBC port.
0E
Testing and initialization of different Input Devices. Also, update the Kernel Variables.
Traps the INT09h vector, so that the POST INT09h handler gets control for IRQ1.
Uncompress all available language, BIOS logo, and Silent logo modules.
13
Early POST initialization of chipset registers.
