Chipset default values are MODBINable by OEM customers. Reserved Initial onboard clock generator if Early_Init_Onboard_Generator is defined. See also POST 26h. Reserved Detect CPU information including brand, SMI type (Cyrix or Intel) and CPU level (586 or 686). Reserved Reserved 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. Reserved Initial EARLY_PM_INIT switch Reserved Load keyboard matrix (notebook platform) Reserved HPM Initialization (notebook platform) Reserved 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 Smos checksum fails, use default value instead. Prepare BIOS resource map for PCI & PnP use. If ESCD is valid, take into consideration of the ESCD's legacy information. 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 1. If Early_Init_Onboard_Generator is not defined Onboard clock generator initialization. Disable respective clock resource to empty PCI & DIMM slots. 2. Init onboard PWM 3. Init onboard H/W monitor devices Initialize INT 09 buffer Reserved 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. Reserved Invoke Video BIOS Reserved 1. Initialize double-byte language font (Optional) 2. Put information on screen display, including Award title, CPU type, CPU speed, full screen logo. Chapter 4
