Hey, I need some help.
I have no clue how to use the i2c bus.

If anyone can give me some workable examples I would be grateful.
The platform I'm on is the nvidia nf2.

Base addy: 0x5000
Slave addy: 0x50 (real example of a mem slot spd)

If someone can show me an example to read that slave addy, from offsets: 0x00 -> 0xFF (0x100 in size)....
Just to get me started in the right direction.
If I can get some working code together I can figuer the rest on my own with the linux doc's out there and the bios src code.
(dissasembling the bios)

If you need more info there's linux docs out there on the nvidia nf2/3 and nf4 chipsets for it.
Or just ask me and I'll try to find what you are looking for.

Please help, this is something I really need...


What do I need it for?

Access to the cpu's doide temp via the Winbond W83L785TS-S.

To make a memmory spd read/write program for dos and my os.

To modify the spd read functions in the bios to report values for certain bytes of the spd (hardset them without modding the mem, also to give options in the bios for certain settings that are controllable only by the spd at the moment).
Also, this will allow for dead mem sticks to boot in my bios if I doit right, np, but I dn the code to start work on it.

To find the extra eeprom chip on the board used for cmos reloaded, and use it's unused space for cmos, for more setting for the bios (allmost out of space and the space I do have is used as scratch during post, it's put back but the spots I need it for..., during the srom init... well, it's not the value I set during that time and it forks over my sip options).

Plus other things, like the xbox and the vga card stuffs...


This would help me alot in the present and the future so if anyone can help me as a beginer ^^...
Thanks Smile

I expect that the OP means the SMBus.

Yep Smile.




What I found confusing in the very begining is the smbios lol, you'de think it was the smbus but it's not.
You look up the entry ptr, which points to some tables which you translate.
Essentually dmi.
Gives you info on the chasis, cpu info's, ram types, etc, most of the time the info contained wihtin that structure is incorrect.
Like saying your ddr2 is edo ram, desktop instead of tower or whatever.
Totally the wrong thing though, besides the smbios shouldn't be a prob for me to finish off a parser for sooner or later.

What I'm looking for is some info's on the smbus/i2c bus.

Here is some xbox code:
Code:
define XBOX_SMB_IO_BASE                              0xC000
define XBOX_SMB_GLOBAL_ENABLE                 (XBOX_SMB_IO_BASE + 2)
define XBOX_SMB_HOST_ADDRESS                  (XBOX_SMB_IO_BASE + 4)
define XBOX_SMB_HOST_DATA                     (XBOX_SMB_IO_BASE + 6)
define XBOX_SMB_HOST_COMMAND                  (XBOX_SMB_IO_BASE + 8)

Flash_Leds:

mov dx, 0xC004             ;XBOX_SMB_HOST_ADDRESS
mov al, 0x20
out dx, al

mov dx, 0xC008              ;XBOX_SMB_HOST_COMMAND

The above is from nkpatcher and other demo's from throughout the net for the xbox.
I ported nasmx's inc files for the xbox to fasm... (still need to finish porting nkpatcher though)
It's not a perfect example, it loops ejecting the tray over and over and if you push the eject button to close the tray the code will just open it again.
But it is a working example of the smbus of some sorts.
I have tested it on my xbox... (bummer thing is that all examples for screen writing for the xbox are wrong, even the nasmx demo)

That's a nvidia chipset as well but it's not the same setup.

Here is some info I had written down:
Quote:

Some ports that I gathered where used from the bios so far, scanning through the src checking for "out dx, al" I think, I can't remember, I know there is a ton more though:
;0x002E
;0x002F
;0x0295

More info's
;smbus base address: 5000
;smbus address: 50, 51, 57 (or D0, D1 and D7 as a mirror for some odd reason)

;SMBus I/O Space, BA=0x5000 <- The above slave's are on this (this is what I want access to in my code)
;SMBus I/O Space, BA=0x5100 <- I don't know what this is and it seems locked, probably vendor specific stuff's in here like the extra eeprom.

I'm pretty sure that is at least one more master but I don't remember how to find the info on it.


Info I had gathered from diff apps from my dfi nf2 lanparty ultra b board.
I could gather info from my ultra a board as well but I don't have it up and running at the moment, no drive in it.

I know there is at least 2 more slave addresses on the main smbus.
52 or 53, I can't remmember which, for slot 3, also for the non-existant slot 4.

Here is some src code from nvidia that sliped out from asus:

A note on the above define for "SMI_IO_BASE_ADDR -> SYSTEM_PORT", it's missing out of the src code.
There's 2 more files in the src (2 I have, 2 missing).

If you want to see that leaked code look on google for: "NvidiaSU_v09" or somethign like that and you'll find it.
Comes with some nf2 and nf3 info's.

Here is some examples out of the asm for that leaked code (not fasm baised):

The prob is, all that src really contains is chipset and board specific info's on the chipset and temps.
There's no spd read function in it for some reason.

It mostly talks about the smi interface, what reg's ont he chipset need to be set and etc for the chipset system management irq.
Which to be onest, I'm totally not ready for when I can't get my own unreal mode code to stop faulting the cpu on jmp lol Smile (after bootsector, in bootsector it's fine...).

The 2 leaked src packages for the award bios'es don't help me either.
They are old as heck, and so they are pretty much useless when it comes to this.

There's more info as I said before in the form of linux drivers on google.
For the nf2/3/4.
Using a mix of c and asm, and extern like thingys and wierd stuffs that don't help me understand.
(Though it probably has the best info on the actual ports used and cmds)

As much as I hate to ask this, I gotta ask for a small example that would actually read a byte or 2 from my spd into a reg or mem varible or something that I can work from.

So far this is like taking on usb, I just don't have a clue.
This looks easy enough, seems like I just need the port info and how to access it.


I'm guessing I need to send a cmd to a certain port.
Like I need to say I want to read this slave addy, and I want to read this offset from that slave.
Like the cmos kinda.

I just don't know how though.

I hope I didn't post to much spam or something.
The more the better maybe... ^^


Anyways to be clear:
Smbus master 0x5000
Slave: 0x50
That is what I want to access.
If I can read a byte from that correctly, I should beable to work out the rest.

I think you need to find info about the SMBus controller chip. The general I2C bus is adequately documented by Philips.

Where is the SMBus controller chip? Is it inside the north/south bridge or a separate chip?

I know that speedfan reads the SMBus, so code for it can't be too hard to find. There might be some open source semi-generic code that you can find.

It's in the south bridge I believe.

https://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.6/20-rc3/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-nforce2.c
Thre must be a full version of the above 2 somewhere..., I don't have anything new related to linux though on my end, dialup.

http://smbus.org/specs/smbus_driver_ext_arch10.pdf

http://smbus.org/specs/smbb10.pdf
Note that the installation check function in this pdf fails on my system.
So I'm assuming that the bios interface functions for this plain don't work on my end.


Oh, I had a copy of the nf2 i2c driver for linux on my drive as a html file..., the ftp link for it is down so I'm posting.

That's all I have except for info related to the nf4's 2nd master chan, slave addy 0x2e causing resets on scan for linux.
Not really important though.

There is one thing I wanted to say that I should of before.
If I mess up on this when reading the spd, it's not a biggy.
I don't care if I kill some sticks of ram, I have my ways of flashing dead ram sticks so it's all good.
I'm fully aware of the danger.


Phillips huh, I'll look it up.
Some new info has come to light though, apperently some amd chipset has a simuler interface to the nvidia one.
Perhaps I can find some nasm/masm code for that.

Main prob has been that I've been finding junk on hobbist stuffs, self made boards and the like for busses that I don't have (totally diff addys and cmds).
Or linux drivers that I can't understand.

Stuff like pysical bus cycles and stuff, when I don't care lol, I just wanna see some asm in these datasheets Smile.
It's like the darn 8254 pic, but with even less to go on.
I managed that one given 2 diff datasheets.
But this is making me struggle a bit lol.

I just don't know where to start, but I'll try porting the leaked asm nvidia code.
I'll also look around for the phillips info's.

Yes I know it needs optimizing and cleaning up.
It needs to work 1st though lol.


Cmd CLI function called TEST:
Code:
Cmd_Test:
push bx
mov al, 0x00                       ;AL - byte index
mov bl, 0x50                        ;BL - 8 bits I2C ID address
call CS_I2CReadByte
jc SMB_Test_Fail
mov al, bh
pop bx
mov di, 0x0001
call Print_Hex
call Print_Msg_Ret
jmp Cmd_Ret

SMB_Test_Fail:
pop bx
lea dx, [Msg_Error+bx]
call Print_String
jmp Cmd_Ret
    


I push bx because my os uses bx as a dynamic addy thingy for rom loading, as it goes in rom when I'm done to certain points (have an previous ver it in shadow ram right now).
I mean, org is not 0x100 in rom, nor is it barely ever 0x0000, it's dynamic so the code needs to be like that.
I push and pop cs to get the valu of bx, using some call trickery...
Not that important though, it might look odd so I thaught I'de explain it.


I've tried diff offsets instead of 0x00.
I've tried a diff addy instead of 0xA000.

What i'm getting...
The functions aren't failing, none of them are.
The values reported back are 0xFF, allways...

I've notcied the leaked nvidia code I ported is award bios code for sure, 100%.
I'lll have to check that and see if I can find the orignal in chipboot.
I don't have a k8 file I know that, I do have some k7 stuffs though.
I might beable to find the missing equates in the nvidia src from the award src.

If I can find the code in the award src, I should beable to find that actual code used in my bios'es dissasembled code.
If so then I might beable to figuer out something.
At how it works or something.

I dn though dudes, this is over my head, something I just don't know how to use Sad.
I can't find a single decent example out there on the net for this stuff.
Nor is the leaked codes helping :\.

Though it does look somewhat simuler to the xbox code...
C, S, etc etc, whatever though cmd things mean.
I might beable to figuer this out.


If anyone has done this before please step up.
Any kind of example in asm could help alot...

Actually this is not really a laughing matter. Far too many people get caught in the optimisation-or-die mode too early. I am glad to see that you are approaching this in the proper fashion.

Also, I don't actually see any reason to optimise this code. It is not as though it will run 24/7 millions of times per minute. So no need to bother optimising, just get it working and leave it. Then you are free to move on to something else more productive.

I totally agree.
I've made that mistake a few times myself.

I've learned that:
1. Code must 1st work 100%.
2. Optimize for size.
3. Optimize for mem bandwith.

The 3rd step, the cpu is allways going to be faster then mem.
You could bloat your code to heck, but as long as you never touch the mem, your code is still going to be fast enough.
There's gotta be a balance and etc, depending on what varibles you need to keep in mem and such.

That I think is the main speed prob with c code.
Even or especially if you use inline code, it's going to use the stack or mem like a mofo.

How I optimize is I look for code I think I can reduce in output size, and or code lines (the fewer lines it is the easier it is to work with).
I comment out the line or 2 I want to optimize, put together the new code.
Check to see if it works, and check the output size of the binary.
If it's all good, it's been optimized.
Then I continue with the next line or so that I see may need optimizing.

After each new optimized code line has been done, I del the old commented out code.
And there you go.

Certain reg's I try to keep the same throught the program.
In cases of certain soft irq's, or if I pass controll over to another program (load), I push those reg's to the stack before I push the ret seg:offset.
When I ret back, I pop my reg's and it's all good.

I only do that with one reg though, bx.
I can use bx as an offset reg, so I use that for my org directive throught my program.
It may double my code size using it the way I do, "lea dx, [mem_offset+bx]" and etc.
But it's much better then calling my org finding function over and over throught my program.

My code was 5 times bigger before I learned howto use the lea instruction to my advantage.

And I only use that setup because of my program needs to beable to load into diff offsets at diff times.

It's all good when it's working right.
But it's not good when you paste in someone's so called super optimized code that never worked in the 1st place.

I've posted such code before here in the forum in the form of a lba translation...
Since then I've fixed it, then figuered out that chs kinda sucks when it comes to actual hd access....


Anyways, I took a shower and took a look at the old award bios src code I have.
Looking at chipboot.asm specifically.

I found this:

Code:
Check_CAS_Latency Proc    Near
                mov     al,SDRAM_LT_AUTO_CMOS NMI_OFF
               ROM_CALL Get_Cmos
           and     al,SDRAM_LT_AUTO_CMOS_BITS
          cmp     al,SDRAM_LT_AUTO_CMOS_BITS
          je      short CAS_Lt_Auto

               mov     bx,32                           ;assign a dummy value
               xor     ah,ah                           ;clear AH
           mov     dx,SDRAM_LT_AUTO_CMOS_BITS
          bsf     cx,dx
               bsf     bx,ax
               xchg    ax,bx
               xor     bl,bl

Now I have some code to scan for that uses the smbus read function.
However I could not find this code, this is to old for my bios.
I might find it later though when I gather more info.

That is the code that is in chipboot.asm, the i2c read function.
It seems it was called by a diif name back then.
And it's alot diff.
I could not find it in my bios using the old code to go by.

So I checked for the functions around it, if I could find those, I could look around them and possibly find the new i2c read function.
Nogo, until I looked for this:

Code:
Ct_Enable_C_Shadow        proc    near
                push    cx
          mov     cx,(TSC_ID SHL 8) + 051H        ;enable shadow R/W
          call    Get_Ct
              or      al,00000011b
                call    Set_Ct
              pop     cx
          ret
Ct_Enable_C_Shadow       endp
    


I scanned for push cx.
Not something I would normally start with, to commen.
However, it's not so commen as you would think.
Some modules plain did not have any instances of it.

I didn't finish up my scan, because I managed to find code of interest pretty quickly.


Here is what I found in my main bios module, 1st segment:

As you can see this is the 1st segment.
Probably 0xE000 or something, code that is gone from the 1st meg by the time you boot into dos.

It was right under some unkown sip/bui loading code that ties in with XGROUP (awdext).


It looked very simuler to me so I commented it in the txt's I have to the side for study (I map functions then replace the defines in my src with the actual code, using the old awd src to help guide me).


It's not 100% clear.
One thing does stand out:

0000C41A EB09 jmp short 0xc425
0000C425 B0FF mov al,0xff

Maybe, guessing here, that could be the value I'm getting with my current code.
I dn, it's a wild guess.


I have to map the few ports that are there, 0x500x.
And check out the jmps to see if I can figuer out what function is which.
Then check for calls to these functions to see if I can find how to use them.

Smile

I'll take that task on later on this afternoon or something.

Yestersday or this morning I forget (I was up for 24hrs before I went to sleep this afternoon..).

I noticed this when looking t see if I could actuallly map the functions of my bios to an actual name of function from leaked src code either from award or nvidia:

Code:
0000C3FB  87DB              xchg bx,bx            ;more smbus maybe, [CS_Chk_SMBus_READY] ???
0000C3FD  87DB              xchg bx,bx
0000C3FF  90                nop
0000C400  51                push cx
0000C401  BA0151            mov dx,0x5101
0000C404  F8                clc
0000C405  B90004            mov cx,0x400
0000C408  EC                in al,dx
0000C409  51                push cx
0000C40A  B90500            mov cx,0x5
0000C40D  E6EB              out 0xeb,al
0000C40F  E2FC              loop 0xc40d
0000C411  59                pop cx
0000C412  A880              test al,0x80
0000C414  0F850500          jnz near 0xc41d
0000C418  E2EE              loop 0xc408
0000C41A  EB09              jmp short 0xc425
0000C41C  90                nop
0000C41D  241F              and al,0x1f
0000C41F  0AC0              or al,al
0000C421  0F840300          jz near 0xc428
0000C425  B0FF              mov al,0xff
0000C427  F9                stc
0000C428  59                pop cx
0000C429  C3                ret
    


I do remmeber there was another, but less likely, possible match in the few amount of functions I found in my bios so far.
But I didn't lable it so whatever I guess.

Again tyhe nvidia src ported to asm for that function:

Code:
;This is the exact copy from chipboot.asm
;Chk_SMBus_READY code in chipboot.asm will not exist anymore after system boot to OS.
;This is used only for SMM mode.
;Input:            None
;Output:    Carry set means error, carry clear means ready.
CS_Chk_SMBus_READY:
push dx
push cx
push ax
mov dx, SMBUS_PORT2 + 0x01       ;Status port
clc
mov cx, 0x2000
CS_Chk_I2C_OK:
NEWIODELAY
in al, dx                  ;get status
or al, al                        ;N18
jz CS_Chk_I2C_OK                ;not ready
test al, 0x80                     ;is finished
jnz CS_Clear_final
test al, 0x1F
jz CS_Clear_final
and al, 0x1F
cmp al, 0x1A                        ;SMBus busy?
jne CS_SMBus_Err
;out dx, al                 ;clear status
loop CS_Chk_I2C_OK
CS_SMBus_Err:
stc
CS_Clear_final:
out dx, al                    ;clear status
pop ax
pop cx
pop dx
ret
    


Now for the copy in chipboot.asm that we aren't suppose to have either, but note this copy is far far older then the above 2:

Code:
Chk_SMBus_READY  Proc    near
                
            mov     dx,SMBus_Port + 0;status port
               clc
         mov     cx,0800h
Chk_I2c_OK:
         in      al,dx           ;get status
         NEWIODELAY
          out     dx,al           ;clear status
               NEWIODELAY

              test    al, 02H         ;termination of command ?
           jnz     short Clear_final

               and     al, NOT 40H     ;mask INUSE bit ;R06
                or      al,al           ;status OK ?
                jz      short Clear_final

               test    al,04h          ;device error
               jnz     short SMBus_Err

         loop    short Chk_I2c_OK
    ;SMbus error due to timeout
SMBus_Err:

           stc
         ret
Clear_final:
             clc
         ret
Chk_SMBus_READY  endp
    


That was all of the work I did at that time.

Just a few mins ago I did some more work.
I knew I needed some port names to go by if I was going to have any hope of knowing what ports where what in my bios'es code.
I would need to have a grasp of that when looking at the code to see if I could decode what it was doing.
If I had an idea of what was going on, I could note the simuler code in the older/leaked functions.

So far this is all I've done:

Code:
;NVIDIA_SMB_IO_BASE dw ?                            ;0x5000?
;NVIDIA_SMB_PRTCL   dw NVIDIA_SMB_IO_BASE           ;Protocol, PEC
;XBOX_SMB_IO_BASE     dw 0xC000

;NVIDIA_SMB_STS                dw (NVIDIA_SMB_IO_BASE + 0x01)  ;0x5001?, Status
;XBOX_SMB_GLOBAL_ENABLE     dw (XBOX_SMB_IO_BASE + 0x02)    ;0xC002

;NVIDIA_SMB_ADDR dw (NVIDIA_SMB_PRTCL + 0x02)    ;0x5002?, Address
;XBOX_SMB_HOST_ADDRESS     dw (XBOX_SMB_IO_BASE + 0x04)    ;0xC004

;NVIDIA_SMB_CMD          dw (NVIDIA_SMB_PRTCL + 0x03)    ;0x5003?, Command
;XBOX_SMB_HOST_COMMAND     dw (XBOX_SMB_IO_BASE + 0x08)    ;0xC008

;NVIDIA_SMB_DATA dw (NVIDIA_SMB_PRTCL + 0x04)    ;0x5004?, 32 Data registers
;XBOX_SMB_HOST_DATA      dw (XBOX_SMB_IO_BASE + 0x06)    ;0xC006

;generally nv vs. xbox port = 1:2 ratio
;excluding data and cmd, which still follow the 2:1 ratio but are swapped
;Status and GLOBAL_ENABLE I'm unsure if they are one and the same though
;Both nv and the xbox equal in the amount of ports defined (nasmx inc's and linux nv smbus drivers)

;Now I must study the actual usage of those ports on all sides, to see if they follow the same cmd routine
    


Like the last comment says, I must see if when my bios uses what looks to be the same ports with the same cmds, regardless of how it goes about it.

If so then I would have an ensentive to look for code that calls those functions.
Afterwards checking to see what those new found regions of code might be req'ing.

Something as simple as checking for rated cas at a certain fsb, likely with some buggy cmos cleared flag checking.
Ie the 3 cas offsets in the spd, or by cmos fsb/cas.
Checking for code that also calls some of the more odd cmos checking code (multible fast cmos loop checking functions that you can plug values into and that alot of code calls that I still don't know what does (Ie I have allmost all bios setup cmos related code mapped allready so...)).
Something as simple as that is all it would take for me to find the older functions from the award bios and map them in there full from on the newest of bios'es (pretty much anyways).

You never know, sometimes you can find something, and sometimes you can't find any anything or even clues, or sometimes just one clue or so but nothing to go by to dig deaper with (missing seg info's, etc).
^^

I'll figuer it out, even if I have to double back to POST.
I've got most of the post tables mapped, with there original post function names.
If I have to see if anyone them have the potential somewhere to use the smbus, I will.
I should beable to find the code I'm looking for.
It's gotta give the secrets up somewhere.


Edit:
Just came up with another reason I want this.

If I figuer this out I'm sure I won't find the cmos reloaded code right away, if not for a long time... who knows.
My board has an extra 64k cmos chip on it, I have the datasheet for the darn thing...
The idea was to use a portion of it for extra cmos and either forgot portions of the bios menu setup code for it's stuff and or include another debug menu which I ready have going and is using cmos for it's exit type (ret, ret and req esc key seq, or ret by bootstrapping the loader thingy and bypassing dmi and "extended like" (whatever you call them, still boots raid types and such though) vector types like network 2nd init pxe's.)

Boy that was long winded..., been smoking down a litle sorry..
Anyways the spd, the 2nd half goes unused at least from sdram to ddr1.
Never checked into ddr2 or dr3 types of spds...

That's ruffly 127bytes of info that is allways static unless you use an unstable spd program like thaiphoon burner.
It could be used as a debug cmos for sure, 100% complete too since the bios doesn't use the 2nd half for it's menu settings ever.
The 2nd half is scratch used during post and etc in some wacky ways, completely unusable becuase unlike some dynamic cmos offsets in the 1st half, the previous values read at startup aren't put back after scratch use.
And they can be destroyed quick quickly, very likely before your check function and apply setting gets to it.

It's not the most of ideal things.
Even if you redid the code on your board to ensure the bios could correctly boot a dead mem stick, other board's would still suffer.
So if at anytime you had a major corruption of the spd via this new debug cmos code or hand setting of it, well, it would not go to well with general users.

But it could help as a baises to unlock dead boards.
Preflash a bios chip with custom bui's and sip tables.
Flash a mem stick spd with a value set for such.
And try to post a dead board with diff tables, hand picking them forcing them into play.
Ie perhaps force errata which I have proven to exist after certain cleared cmos'es.
Or force cmd rate knowing at next boot the bios is dead because of the buggy nvidia cmd rate cmos scanning code (normally it's forced one way or another, if you enable the code and give it a modules that allways forces a certain cmd rate, it will die on 2nd boot when you write a diff value then running value for the cmos cmd rate offset).

Mainly it would allow me to test sip/bui tables at a new level.
onlying me to modfiy values of the tables in the bios menu it's self and seeing the results in memtest and such on diff reboots with quickenss and ease of a bios menu setting.
Making way for future settings, ones that are deemed most important in stability and speed of the cpu timings and bus timings.
Etc etc.

Smile
D@mnit give me it now lol, I wish, ahh someday sooner or later.
Laters Smile.

NEOAethyr: You had better hope your mobo doesn't ever go faulty or get out of date, because if it does you will have to do this work all over again with a new mobo and different hardware/ports/everything.

It's ok, I've got a few bios chips at hand some preflashed just incase.
And multible sticks of memory I can use to recover the dead sticks with if need be.

All stuff I've had to use and do before so it's all good Very Happy.

I'm used to killing me board's Wink.
So I'm used to dealing with it and getting them running again on my own.

Oh and btw I'm getting a new board this comming month.
For my quad core and stuffs.
I got the data sheet for the new one's south bridge and smbus allready.
The sb600.
I also got enrolled in amd's dev program a feww days ago and got access to that data.
Still waiting on the ok for nvidia dev program...

I've got 3 nf2's.
A few via's, including an abit 754.
Getting a 790fx this next month.

The new one will need an extra bios chip, it's twice the size as the ones I have now.
For recovery, I can't work with that one's bios until I get one.

Also heard stories about how smbus access, in the wrong way, can kill newer boards, with some able to recover, and some never able to.
So I will have to know what I'm doing smbus wise on that board, and I willk have to take it easy.
I won't mess with smbus on that one for some time.
