CM-iAM: Linux: Kernel
(Redirected from Linux Kernel for CM-iAM)
The CM-iAM is a fully-compatible x86 PC. Recent Linux kernels support most CM-iAM hardware features. A customized 2.6.31 kernel is available in The Linux package for CM-iAM under the kernel directory. The configuration file is debian/config/i386/config.fitpc2.
This kernel is suitable for all FIT-PC2 compatible boards (FIT-PC2/FIT-PC2i/CM-iAM).
The most significant features of interest to kernel developers are described below.

Reboot quirk
Proper reboot handling requires the following patch arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c. The patch is present in official Linux sources starting from the 2.6.31 version.
.matches = {
DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Hewlett-Packard"),
DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "HP Compaq"),
},
},
+ { /* Handle problems with rebooting on CompuLab SBC-FITPC2 */
+ .callback = set_bios_reboot,
+ .ident = "CompuLab SBC-FITPC2",
+ .matches = {
+ DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "CompuLab"),
+ DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "SBC-FITPC2"),
+ },
+ },
Another option for proper reboot handling is to add to the kernel command line the reboot=b option, meaning "use BIOS reboot". No patch is needed in this case.
Intel SCH PATA support
Source code of the PATA driver for the CM-iAM is found in drivers/ata/pata_sch.c. The module is present in official Linux sources starting from the 2.6.25 version.

GPIO support
The SB-iAM board from Compulab contains 8 or 15 general purpose I/O pins (GPIO’s) depending on the assembly configuration.
The CM-iAM provides eight general purpose I/O pins (GPIO’s) from the Poulsbo chipset, seven are dedicated and one is shared with alternate functionality, with different power domain support. Seven additional GPIO’s are available from the IT8761E super I/O chip when option S (SIO) is assembled.
The modules are present in official Linux sources starting from the 2.6.34 version.

Poulsbo DRM support
Intel® Embedded Graphics Driver (IEGD) requires a kernel drm module for proper functionality. Sources are available at Intel® Embedded Graphics Driver.
Source code of the IEGD driver for the CM-iAM is found in drivers/gpu/drm/iegd/. These drivers are not present in official Linux sources.

Watchdog Timer Support
The CM-iAM provides watchdog functionality. It is possible to enable a watchdog timer either from BIOS (F2) or when running Linux. The CM-iAM watchdog has an operating range between 31 and 255 seconds. The range is defined by the "Watchdog Timer Value" in the BIOS or by the margin parameter of the watchdog driver. Entering the BIOS setup temporarily disables watchdog operation regardless of the current state; therefore, the system will not be restarted during an interactive BIOS session. Once the watchdog has been enabled, the system will be restarted every "Watchdog Timer Value" period, unless the watchdog timer is reset or disabled by software.
Source code of watchdog driver for CM-iAM is found in drivers/watchdog/sbc_fitpc2_wdt.c. The module is present in official Linux sources starting from the 2.6.33 version.

Sound card support
The CM-iAM and SB-iAM use IDT 92HD83 sound codec. Its full name is 92HD83C1C5 and it may not yet be inserted into the kernel tree. Add the following quirk to the sound driver for proper codec recognition:
{ .id = 0x111d7604, .name = "92HD83C1X5", .patch = patch_stac92hd83xxx},
+ { .id = 0x111d76d4, .name = "92HD83C1C5", .patch = patch_stac92hd83xxx},
{ .id = 0x111d7605, .name = "92HD81B1X5", .patch = patch_stac92hd83xxx},
Source code of the sound driver for the CM-iAM is found in sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c. The patch is present in official Linux sources starting from the 2.6.34 version.
