# Intel Firmware Interface Table
|
|
|
|
The FIT allows to run code before the actual IA32 reset vector is executed
|
|
by the CPU. The FIT resides in the BIOS region (usually near the reset vector)
|
|
and is pointed to by the FIT pointer residing at `0xFFFFFFC0`.
|
|
|
|
## Table layout
|
|
The table consists of blocks each 16 bytes in size.
|
|
The first is called *FIT header* the other are called *FIT entry*.

## Fit types
|
|
|
|
Each entry has a *type* that give the other bits in the entry a different
|
|
meaning. The following types are known:
|
|
|
|
```eval_rst
|
|
+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| no. | Description |
|
|
+===========+==================================================================+
|
|
| 0x0 | HEADER. |
|
|
+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| 0x1 | MICROCODE. |
|
|
+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| 0x2 | STARTUP_ACM. |
|
|
+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| 0x7 | BIOS_STARTUP_MODULE. |
|
|
+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| 0x8 | TPM_POLICY. |
|
|

|
|
| 0x9 | BIOS_POLICY. |

|
|
| 0xb | KEY_MANIFEST. |

|
|
| 0xc | BOOT_POLICY_MANIFEST. |
|
|
+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| 0x10 | CSE_SECURE_BOOT. |
|
|
+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| 0x2d | TXTSX_POLICY. |
|
|
+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| 0x2f | JMP_DEBUG_POLICY. |
|

|
|
| 0x7f | SKIP. |

|
## Usage in coreboot
|
|
|
|
The most common usage of FIT is to use *Type1* to update microcode before
|
|
execution of the IA32 reset vector happens.
