Re: [coreboot] No VGA output on e350m1 after flashing. what to do?

Hi! On 30.06.2013 19:28, Christian Weinz wrote: > Maybe I didn't include the VGA option in the make menuconfig process. > How can I solve this problem? You need to add the VGA Option ROM (VGA BIOS -> Add VGA BIOS image). I've extracted it from the UEFI, but you also could use these: http://www.coreboot.org/index.php?title=ASRock_E350M1&oldid=11114 at the end of the page or you also may be able to use the default AMD fam14 (Persimmon) vbios. You will need to agree to the click through: http://wwwd.amd.com/support/vbioslic.nsf/userverify?openform http://www.coreboot.org/AMD_DB-FT1_PERSIMMON It's a pity, that bios_extract didn't work for now. You could use the AMI Aptio EFI MMTool with wine: http://win-lite.de/benutzer/fernando/BIOS-Tools/AMI_Aptio_EFI_MMTool_v4.50.… You need to extract OntarioEFIVbios with PCI ID 1002,9802 as Option ROM.

ASUS KCMA-D8 workstation board port offer
by Timothy Pearson Jan. 20, 2017

Jan. 20, 2017

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All, After reviewing some of the comments on the ASUS KGPE-D16 being essentially too large of a system and too expensive for many people, and the fact that modern, blob-free systems are not really available in the mid-range arena, Raptor Engineering would like to offer to create a native initalization blob-free port for the ASUS KCMA-D8, which is essentially the KGPE-D16's ATX-compatible "little brother". We would be asking $15,000 for the port, including upstreaming to the master coreboot tree. We already have extensive experience with these Family 10h/15h boards, and would be able to create a port of similar quality to the existing KGPE-D16 source in terms of both code quality and overall functionality. If this is something you might be interested in please let me know. We are able to accept multiple payments from various sources for the same project (within limits), so if this is something your local Linux groups or similar might be interested in we should be able to keep the cost on any one individual or organization to a reasonable level.

Re: [coreboot] On Intel Boot Guard
by Alexander Couzens April 15, 2016

April 15, 2016

Hi Iru, we aren't still sure which boards use Intel Boot Guard and which doesn't use it. But we expect most board use it, because it's "recommended" by intel - as we dont recommend it. Also there isn't yet a test script for Intel Boot Guard. Can you post a link to that forum post? I would like to look into a x240 flash image. If you have such board it would be nice if you can send me a copy of the flash image via private mail. Cheers, lynxis -- Alexander Couzens mail: lynxis(a)fe80.eu jabber: lynxis(a)jabber.ccc.de mobile: +4915123277221

HP M6-1035dx vga bios option rom
by KR Tejeda Jan. 3, 2016

Jan. 3, 2016

Hello, I have just started playing with coreboot and BIOS flashing, so please forgive the noobness. I recently acquired an HP Pavilion M6-1035dx to install coreboot as mentioned in the wiki. I made a few noob mistakes along the way. First, I wiped the hard drive entirely and installed Linux to try running flashrom from the native OS (hence any factory recovery partition has been wiped). Second, I built a coreboot.rom image without using the supplied .config file from the wiki. I just used a vanilla configuration, which didn't work at all, not surprisingly. Once I found the right config settings, I realized that I never backed up the stock BIOS ROM or extracted any option ROMs. This is where I gave my forehead a good slap. Now, I'm able to build a semi-working coreboot ROM that I can flash via ISP and a R-Pi. I can tell that it almost works because the system seems to boot fine, and I can see the hostname in the router. I would probably even be able to SSH in if I had enabled sshd before the goof-up. The only (fatal) problem is that the screen is completely blank. No VGA support, obviously. So, I'm convinced that if I had the right VGA BIOS option ROM, I could probably get it to work as desired. I've tried to restore a stock vendor bios rom to extract the vga bios from, but since I wiped the hard drive and since I no longer have DVD support via coreboot, I cannot seem to restore the stock bios rom from the HP site in any reasonable way. I've tried flashing it via flashrom, and I've also tried extracting the contents of the stock rom with no luck. Does anyone here have any pointers or ideas that I could try? Or perhaps someone has the right rom file laying around they could kindly share? I've scoured all over the net, and the best I could find was a mention in the config file of including "1035_dxvgabios.bin", which seems to have been extracted locally. I'm stumped at this point. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. much thanks, -kr

CBFS file format changed but documentation not updated
by Kevin O'Connor Dec. 31, 2015

Dec. 31, 2015

I noticed that commit 0d618afc modified the CBFS file format. (It looks like the "checksum" field was replaced with a new file "attributes" feature.) However, the CBFS documentation in the repository (Documentation/cbfs.txt) was not updated. It would be great if the documentation could be kept in sync with the CBFS implementation. (Or, if that's not feasible, I think it would be preferable to remove Documentation/cbfs.txt .) Having up to date specifications helps other projects (eg, SeaBIOS) keep up with changes. Also, I didn't see any emails for the above change on the mailing list. What is the best way to keep up with notable architectural changes in coreboot? -Kevin

[RFC] Prepending *Original* to tags from other repositories
by Paul Menzel Dec. 31, 2015

Dec. 31, 2015

Dear coreboot folks, change set #12804 [1] proposes the following addition to the file `Documentation/gerrit_guidelines.md`. 239 +* When bringing in a patch from another git repo, update the original 240 +git/gerrit tags by prepending the lines with 'Original-'. Marking 241 +the original text this way makes it much easier to tell what changes 242 +happened in which repository. This applies to these lines, not the actual 243 +commit message itself: 244 + Commit-Id: 245 + Change-Id: 246 + Signed-off-by: 247 + Reviewed-on: 248 + Tested-by: 249 + Reviewed-by: 250 +The script 'util/gitconfig/rebase.sh' can be used to help automate this. 251 +Other tags such as 'Commit-Queue' can simply be removed. Unfortunately, I do not fully understand the reasoning yet. Why is it important, to (easily) know what tags were added in what repository. *Commit-Id* is good to know, to easily find the commit in the other repository, but the *Change-Id* can be used for that too. Signed-off-by is also not changed in the Linux kernel when it is pulled in. The new Signed-off-by line is just appended after the tags so it’s clear what way the commit or change set took. The same is true for the other tags. So I would actually propose, to leave the tags unchanged when moving them over. What am I missing? Thanks, Paul [1] https://review.coreboot.org/12804 [2] https://review.coreboot.org/#/c/12804/2/Documentation/gerrit_guidelines.md

Hi, I'm deals compling Coreboot. I compile Coreboot with Linux payload. This run on QEMU. Coreboot works, but kernel panic error I had. How I solve my problem? Coreboot version: 4.1 Coreboot image size: 2 MB GNU/Linux version in Coreboot: 4.1 QEMU version: 2.0.0 QEMU has been emulated processor type: x86 32 bit - Default QEMU has been emulated RAM amount: 64 MB (If I set 1024 MB of RAM, even so I have this error.) This error: Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory and no killable processes... Thanks for replying.
