<p>Hi Gergely,</p>
<p>Thank you for your config. Now I have coreboot + SeaBIOS
perfectly working.<br>
</p>
<p>Console speed is now "normal" :-)</p>
<p>These are the changes between the two configs:</p>

< # CONFIG_POST_DEVICE_LPC is not set<br>
< # CONFIG_POST_DEVICE_PCI_PCIE is not set</p>
<p>--------------<br>
</p>
<p>I made some tweaks to the configuration, added VGA output before
payload, a nice bootsplash, etc..</p>
<p>Other considerations:</p>
<p>VGA Device PCI IDs are 1002,9830 (The default 1002,9836 does not
get output).</p>
<p>Memory has to be located firstly on second slot (yellow DIMM_A2).
If not you get AGESA_FATAL_ERROR. I only have one module.<br>
</p>
<p>Please, find attached a working config.txt and console.log.
Coreboot revision is 4.7-294-g2db6fbc47b.<br>
</p>
<p>If you verify these changes are working for you is it possible to
change the defaults in Kconfig?</p>
<p>Thank you very much.<br>
</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p>-- Eli<br>

<div>Strange, the log you shared looked less verbose to me
than expected but seems like I was wrong. Anyway, you
might find an example on a full debug log here [1].<br>

I have a small build script I use to build coreboot for my
board, please find it attached.<br>

<p>Thank you for your kind reply Gergely.</p>
<p>I think the cable is not the problem, I have been using
it for years and it's intact.</p>
<p>I am using a usb dongle but not a cheap one. Tomorrow I
will try with another cable and a real COM port. Just to
be 100% sure.</p>
<p>Console is fast at the very first time (just the
"normal") but after two seconds it becomes extremely
slow.<br>
</p>
<p>Please, can you say me which is the git revision you
are using?</p>
<p>The console log I attached is from a SPEW debug level,
not corresponding with the config.. I tried several
configs today :-) .</p>
<p>Is it possible to share your config with me?</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>

<div>Hi Eli,<br>
<br>
</div>
I've been using Coreboot on my board for
several weeks, it is serving as an HTPC
running 24/7 and it's working perfectly
stable which suggests the firmware should
be free of bugs. It is likely that you are
facing some configuration or hardware
issue here.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I didn't see any issues with the serial
output while working with the board once
the SuperIO chip started to work. Make
sure the cable you use is intact and try
to attach it to another machine. At the
time I was working with my board, I used a
Dell Port Replicator with a native COM
port so I could use a standard null-modem
cable and it was working flawlessly. In
case you use a USB serial adapter, try
replacing it or attach the serial cable
directly to a COM port if you have one
available.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Also, please enable debug_level=Spew as it
seems the console log you attached comes
from a less verbose setting and therefore
it's not as useful as it should be.<br>
<br>
Note that the VBIOS image is executed by
SeaBIOS which means you won't see anything
on your display until the payload is
executed.<br>
<br>
</div>
If all else fails, you can still attach a POST
debug module to the LPC header of the board
[1] which can help a lot to find out where the
boot process hangs.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Feel free to contact me if you need some
more help or information, I'm happy to assist!<br>
</div>

Regards,<br>

<br>
I'm trying to use Coreboot in an Asus AM1I-A
board recently ported by Gergely Kiss (thank
you!).<br>
<br>
I am using the default config settings and
added vga rom extracted with UEFITool from
the vendor bios.<br>
<br>
After flashing and booting I get no output
from vga.<br>
<br>
Serial console is extremely slow too (30
minutes to write the log)<br>
<br>
I attach the coreboot console log, config
and cbfs.txt.<br>
<br>
Any hints?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
