From 874a8f961ff537bc12cfca3d9937a07fcda2fe6e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arthur Heymans Date: Thu, 19 May 2016 16:06:09 +0200 Subject: i945: Enable changing VRAM size MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On i945 the vram size is the default 8mb. It is also possible to set it 1mb or 0mb hardcoding the GGC register in early_init.c The intel documentation on i945, "Mobile Intel® 945 Express Chipset Family datasheet june 2008" only documents those three options. They are set using 3 bits. The documententation also makes mention of 4mb, 16mb, 32mb, 48mb, 64mb but not how to set it. The other non documented (straight forward) bit combinations allow to change the VRAM size to those other states. What this patch does is: - add those undocumented registers with their respective vram size to the i945 NB code; - make this a cmos option on targets that have this northbridge. TEST: build, flash to target, set cmos as desired and boot linux. On Debian it can be found using "dmesg | grep stolen". NOTE: dmesg message about reserved vram are quite different depending on linux version Change-Id: Ia71367ae3efb51bd64affd728407b8386e74594f Signed-off-by: Arthur Heymans Reviewed-on: https://review.coreboot.org/14819 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Martin Roth --- src/mainboard/getac/p470/cmos.layout | 11 ++++++++++- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'src/mainboard/getac/p470') diff --git a/src/mainboard/getac/p470/cmos.layout b/src/mainboard/getac/p470/cmos.layout index 4c40dc7924..6d5dc8e2d6 100644 --- a/src/mainboard/getac/p470/cmos.layout +++ b/src/mainboard/getac/p470/cmos.layout @@ -59,7 +59,9 @@ entries # coreboot config options: southbridge 408 1 e 1 nmi #409 2 e 7 power_on_after_fail -#411 5 r 0 unused + +# coreboot config options: northbridge +411 3 e 11 gfx_uma_size # coreboot config options: bootloader 416 512 s 0 boot_devices @@ -112,6 +114,13 @@ enumerations 7 2 Keep 8 0 No 8 1 Yes +11 0 1M +11 1 4M +11 2 8M +11 3 16M +11 4 32M +11 5 48M +11 6 64M # ----------------------------------------------------------------- checksums -- cgit v1.2.3
