POST (hex)
CFh:
Test CMOS R/W functionality.
C0h:
Early chipset initialization:
-Disable shadow RAM
-Disable L2 cache (socket 7 or below)
-Program basic chipset registers
C1h:
Detect memory
-Auto-detection of DRAM size, type and ECC.
-Auto-detection of L2 cache (socket 7 or below)
C3h:
Expand compressed BIOS code to DRAM
C5h:
Call chipset hook to copy BIOS back to E000 & F000 shadow RAM.
01h:
Expand the Xgroup codes locating in physical address 1000:0
03h:
Initial Superio_Early_Init switch.
05h:
1. Blank out screen
2. Clear CMOS error flag
07h:
1. Clear 8042 interface
2. Initialize 8042 self-test
