#95: Run coreboot in VirtualBox

#95: Run coreboot in VirtualBox ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: uwe | Owner: somebody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: misc | Version: Keywords: | Dependencies: Patchstatus: there is no patch | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ It would be nice if we could test coreboot images in VirtualBox, see http://virtualbox.org/. VirtualBox does not (yet) provide a simple mechanism to use a different BIOS in their emulated machines (something like "-L" in qemu). Instead the BIOS image (a custom bochs BIOS + LGPL'g VGABIOS) is converted to C code (an array of bytes, or the like) and merged into the VirtualBox executable. The relevant files are {{{ src/VBox/Devices/PC/DevPcBios.cpp bldprogs/bin2c.c }}} if someone want to hack VirtualBox to easily support using coreboot images instead of their usual BIOS. -- Ticket URL: <http://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/coreboot/ticket/95> coreboot <http://www.coreboot.org/>

#110: Allow for per-device subsystem IDs

#110: Allow for per-device subsystem IDs ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: uwe | Owner: somebody Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: coreboot | Version: v3 Keywords: | Dependencies: Patchstatus: there is no patch | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Currently both v2 and v3 only allow us to use one global set of PCI subsystem IDs, which is too simplistic. In theory (and often in practice) each PCI device has (or can have) its own subsystem ID. We should fix this, at least in v3, possibly also in v2.

#104: flashrom: Change flash drivers to never erase data before writing ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: stuge | Owner: somebody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: flashrom v1.0 Component: flashrom | Version: Keywords: erase write | Dependencies: #103 Patchstatus: there is no patch | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ The user should be responsible for ensuring that the flash chip has been erased where new data should be written. At the moment, flashrom will erase at least one full page and then rewrite it, when the user asks to only write a few bytes using -l/-i/-s/-e. -- Ticket URL: <http://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/coreboot/ticket/104> coreboot <http://www.coreboot.org/>
