Learning about Nuvoton NPCM450 by RE or by reading data sheet?
Hi,
There are some tantalisingly interesting notes in here especially as I am keep to port core boot to some of my SM X9-series boards plus u-bmc or OpenBMC for the Nuvoton NPCM450.
May I ask how you got your information about the NPCM450? Data sheets do not seem to be publicly available but is looks like you've make some good progress using RE.
Did you try to get the original data sheets? Do you believe it will be possibly to characterise the NPCM450 enough so that a data sheet would be essentially redundant?
What is the best way forward if I have H8- and X9-series Supermicro boards. If these could be corebooted (promising things are happening) and an alternative to stock BMC such as OpenBMC or u-bmc ported to the NPCM450, then this would be amazing! Do you think this is a likely project to succeed? I have enough hardware, a workshop, and a desire specifically to modify these firmwares.
Did you ask Nuvoton for data sheets for the NPCM450 when you started these valuable notes? What happened?
