hi

This NVRAM is for suspend/resume. So it is only powered if 5VSB is there. So it is not a real battery backup device.

The platform has 256 bytes of classic NVRAM (CMOS). I think you can use ioports 74/75. to get access
to whole 256Bytes.

(check if PCI 11.0 4e bit 3 is 1) I think it should be.

I use those methods in Seabios.
And as soon as I unplug the power supply, load_state_from_nvram doesn't return

Is something wrong with my methods ?

#define K8T890_NVRAM_IO_BASE    0xf00
int save_state_to_nvram(u32 dword) {
    int nvram_pos=64;
        dprintf(1,"Writing %x of size 4 to nvram pos: %d\n", dword, nvram_pos);
        //size=4
                outl(dword, K8T890_NVRAM_IO_BASE+nvram_pos);
                nvram_pos +=4;

        return nvram_pos;
}

int load_state_from_nvram( u32 *old_dword) {
    int nvram_pos=64;
    //size=4
                *old_dword = inl(K8T890_NVRAM_IO_BASE+nvram_pos);
                nvram_pos +=4;

        dprintf(1,"Loading %x of size 4 from nvram pos:%d\n", * old_dword, 
nvram_pos-4);
        return nvram_pos;
}

Hello,

When I shutdown my computer, my nvram datas are kept alive. But if I 
unplug/plug the power supply, nvram is reset.
The clock is OK, so it is not a battery problem.

How can I keep datas in nvram when I unplug the power supply ?

Either your CMOS battery is dead or you have RTC issue.
But the clock is OK, so I don't think my CMOS battery is dead.
Could you tell me more about the RTC issue ?

Is this with coreboot?
