[MinnowBoard] RTL8111 with Legacty BIOS

Richardson, Brian brian.richardson at intel.com
Mon May 2 20:31:45 UTC 2016


You need to look at the enumeration of the firmware, which can be examined at the UEFI Shell or within the OS (inherits that info from the firmware via ACPI & UEFI memory map). By comparing the UEFI firmware enumeration to the Winzent BIOS, you can see if there are any major differences in memory or I/O mapping on the PCIe bus.

Thanks ... br

Hello Brian,

Yes, I can flash the ROM to the 32 bit UEFI, and I suppose I can load Windows 10. However, isn't the connection on the PCI bus a physical connection? Shouldn't it be known exactly where in the bus the nic is physically connected without relying on the enumeration of the OS to tell us (and possibly enumerate incorrectly)? If you think this is the best route I can try it, I was just hoping the PCIe connection location was known information.

Thanks,
Emir

Can you flash the 32-bit UEFI firmware image and compare the results of PCIe enumeration? (via UEFI Shell utilities or booting to Windows 10 x86)

Hi Eric,

We've been using this BSP for probably 2 years, but you can get it from here (it's probably more updated now):
http://www.adeneo-embedded.com/Products/Board-Support-Packages/Intel

Does anyone know the location in the PCIe bus for the RTL8111?

Thanks,
Emir

Hi Eric,

I am building my OS in Platform Builder, I have used the same image to load
multiple Baytrail boards from different vendors (Adlink, Congatec, etc..).
The image loads, it's just the driver for the NIC that is failing (I
suspect the driver is attempting to access a memory location that was found
by the PCI enumeration which is an incorrect address). If I know the
physical location on the PCIe bus (along with memory addresses) I can see
if the PCI enumeration driver for Windows CE is faulty, or if there is some
other issue.

Thanks,
Emir

Hello,

I would like to run Windows CE (32-bit OS) on the Minnowboard Max Turbot. I
am using a legacy BIOS (Winzent) to load the OS, and everything loads fine.
However, when the PCIe bus is being enumerated I believe the physical bus
location that is being reported is incorrect (along with the memory
addresses). For this reason when the OS attempts to load the driver for the
NIC it fails. Does anyone know the physical location on the PCIe bus where
the RTL8111 is located?

When looking at Winzent's BIOS I see the following memory locations:

I/O Range: 5000 - 50FF

Memory I/O Range: D0B00000 - D0B00FFF

Memory I/O Range: C8200000 - C8203FFFF

Windows CE reports the following information when the OS loads up:

------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------
The base addresses should correspond to the memory addresses, they are
slightly different. From the above you can see that the OS reports the
RTL8111 nic is located on PCI bus number 3/0/0. When inquiring the
information about the NIC from Linux however the only information I can see
is regarding the memory:
        Memory at 90500000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
        Memory at 90400000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=16K]

This does not match what Windows CE was telling me. Anyways, I was hoping
someone knew the PCIe bus location of the RTL8111 so that I have a
reference place to start from when trying to get the NIC driver to load.
Any insight on the issue would be great, I have been troubleshooting this
for quite some time.

Thanks,
Emir

Did you create an OS using a BSP or are you running a pre-built?

Subject: [MinnowBoard] RTL8111 with Legacy BIOS



Hello,



I would like to run Windows CE (32-bit OS) on the Minnowboard Max Turbot. I am using a legacy BIOS (Winzent) to load the OS, and everything loads fine. However, when the PCIe bus is being enumerated I believe the physical bus location that is being reported is incorrect (along with the memory addresses). For this reason when the OS attempts to load the driver for the NIC it fails. Does anyone know the physical location on the PCIe bus where the RTL8111 is located?



When looking at Winzent's BIOS I see the following memory locations:



I/O Range: 5000 - 50FF

Memory I/O Range: D0B00000 - D0B00FFF

Memory I/O Range: C8200000 - C8203FFFF

Windows CE reports the following information when the OS loads up:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PID:00400003 TID:00850006 Bus/Device/Function = 3/0/0, Ethernet Network Controller
PID:00400003 TID:00850006   VendorID = 0x10EC, DeviceID = 0x8168, Command = 0x0007, Status = 0x0010
PID:00400003 TID:00850006   RevisionID = 0x0C, ProgIf = 0x00, SubClass = 0x00, BaseClass = 0x02
PID:00400003 TID:00850006   CacheLineSize = 0x10, LatencyTimer = 0x00, HeaderType = 0x00, BIST = 0x00
PID:00400003 TID:00850006   BaseAddresses:
PID:00400003 TID:00850006     0x00005001  0x00000000  0xD0B00004 0x00000000  0xC820000C  0x00000000
PID:00400003 TID:00850006   CIS = 0x00000000, SubVendorID = 0x10EC, SubSystemID = 0x0123
PID:00400003 TID:00850006   ROMBaseAddress = 0x00000000
PID:00400003 TID:00850006   InterruptLine = 0x0A, InterruptPin = 0x01, MinGrant = 0x00, MaxLatency = 0x00
PID:00400003 TID:00850006
