david hendriks has now built linuxbios from scratch, from the cvs tree, and it all works with graphics etc. ide is still not working well. ron

via/epia

OK, where we are is this: there is a freebios2 version for the via/epia. It builds. I have set it up so memory config *should* *be* what we have now, i.e. static. But this will get us to status quo, and then we can look at SPD etc. ron

via/epia now builds
by ron minnich 26 Sep '03

26 Sep '03

I knew this would be a bit of work, but it is worth it as it is flushing out "K8 and SMP" assumptions in the tree. I really would appreciate it if somebody could look at the early smbus code. ron

change to config tool
by ron minnich 26 Sep '03

26 Sep '03

The config tool has been changed to allow 'default' statements in the mainboard file. Now, you can have default ROM_SIZE 512*1024 in the mainboard file, and over-ride that with (e.g.) option ROM_SIZE=1024*1024 in the target file. I've tested this and it works fine; it's now committed. thanks ron

CVS still broken
by Dave Ashley 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

Is this like a secret club where only members can contribute or view the actual code talked about? How come no one else has any trouble getting hold of the source or latest CVS, how come everyone else can check in code and presumably check out latest with no trouble? IT IS BROKEN!!!!!!!!! http://www.linuxbios.org/developer/download/index.html This is the page that says what to do to download. The CVS repository is maintained at SourceForge.net (project name "FreeBIOS"). You can download the daily snapshot of the entire source tree or use CVS directly: % cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.freebios.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/freebios login Hit return when it asks you for a password. Then checkout (or update) the freebios source tree: % cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.freebios.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/freebios co freebios When you actually try to do the first cvs login, this happens: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.freebios.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/freebios login Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@cvs.freebios.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/freebios CVS password: cvs [login aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) The daily snapshot link is broken: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/freebios-cvsroot.tar.gz What am I missing? -Dave

via epia

OK, if you cd targets ./buildtarget epia/via -bash-2.05b$ cd targets/via/epia/epia/ -bash-2.05b$ make if (cd fallback; \ make linuxbios.rom)\ then true; else exit 1; fi; make[1]: Entering directory `/home/rminnich/src/bios/freebios2/targets/via/epia/epia/fallback' ./romcc -O ./auto.E > auto.inc . . . auto.c:58.57: 0x84d5768 copy Internal compiler error: bad variable access make[1]: *** [auto.inc] Error 134 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rminnich/src/bios/freebios2/targets/via/epia/epia/fallback' make: *** [fallback-rom] Error 1 -bash-2.05b$ oops, you can see there's an internal compiler error. This is all skeleton code -- mostly empty functions at this point. Debugging hints for romcc are welcome. I need help now. I'm done for the day, anyone wants to take a look, please do. This is our first "normal" freebios2 port, hence will have troubles, but I think we want to do this. C >= assembly. If somebody wants to help me automate the tarball build, at sourceforge, I can use the help. Seems to me I ought to be able to do this cvs -d /freebios/cvs_tree co automagically each night. But the cvs tree is no where to be found from my sourceforge login. But I'll gratefully take any help in getting the tarball build automated. thanks ron

freebios2 support for via epia: help requested.
by ron minnich 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

I'm putting the pieces together but this will go lots faster with help. If somebody can look at freebios2/src/via/southbridge/vt8231/vt8231_early_smbus.c and send me fixes for the actual correct code, that will save a lot of time. If I can toss these kinds of tasks out and get help, we should be somewhere next week, which would be nice, and with true SPD support, not the mess we have now. Then we can attack the -M. ron

why are we still doing this?
by ron minnich 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

in arima/hdama/Config.lb ## ## Clean up the motherboard id strings ## option MAINBOARD_PART_NUMBER="HDAMA" option MAINBOARD_VENDOR="ARIMA" OK, the config tool will create this by default: MAINBOARD_PART_NUMBER="hdama" MAINBOARD_VENDOR="arima" why do we need to put this type of thing in the mainboard config file? just wondering ron
