[LinuxBIOS] Solaris
by Justin Cormack
Has anyone looked at what it would take to get Solaris booting under
Linuxbios on Opteron?
If not I might dig around (there is a modified grub - I think that does
some of the init work; one suspects that because of its heritage it is
quite BIOS-unencumbered).

I referenced tyan s2885 codes to modify my Config.lb, Options.lb and
cache_as_ram_auto.c
I just tried to build tyan s2885 images form a clean updated tree and
met the same problem.

Hello guys and I hope you tell me what is going on.
It worked finally?
The snapshot version still has compile error.

[LinuxBIOS] Local APIC IDs for dual Xeons
by Steve Magnani
Hi all,
I've reached the point where LB is attempting to start the secondary CPU
on my custom board. As near as I can tell, LB thinks the secondary CPU
isn't responding. This could be a hardware problem, or a LB issue of some
sort.
CPU 6 would not start!
CPU 6 did not initialize!
First thing I wanted to check was that LB is using the right APIC ID in
the messages it's sending. But I haven't been able to find a good
explanation anywhere of how local APIC IDs are assigned in dual-Xeon
systems. All Intel says with any certainty is that the power-up sequence
includes setting a unique ID for each LAPIC. There is a format to the IDs
(i.e. some bits for logical processor, some for socket, some for APIC
cluster), but nothing that says (for instance) "One Xeon chip is assigned
LAPIC IDs 0 & 1 and the second is assigned LAPIC IDs 6 & 7".
Looking over the s2735 config, and anything I found on the Internet, it
seems that this is how dual-Xeon boards work. Does anyone know why? Do the
addresses come out like this any time you have a dual-Xeon board, and
every time you power it up? Or are there some pins that have to be
strapped a certain way to end up with these IDs? (Side note, some Xeons
support reset-time config of APIC cluster ID - mine don't). The way I'm
interpreting the Intel documentation, it looks like the only way to find
out a secondary CPU's LAPIC ID is to start it (via an IPI broadcast?) and
have it write it somewhere.
Thanks,
Steve

[LinuxBIOS] Re: floating irq_table
by yhlu
just committed the write_pirq_routing_table for s2882 and s2895.
for s2882 also move pci_assign_irq from mptable to irq_table.c
other x86 irq_table.c all added
unsigned long write_pirq_routing_table(unsigned long addr)
{
return copy_pirq_routing_table(addr);
}
and table.c will call write_pirq_routing_table instead of
copy_pirq_routing_table.

[LinuxBIOS] mianboard Config.lb question....
by Huang-Jen Wang
Dear all,
I am porting a new mainboard, and its chipset are ServerWorks HT1000
and HT2000, in HT1000, it looks like its SMBUS is not a pci device.
Because I can find it device number and function number, I have a very
serious problem, how do I edit the mainboard Config.lbfile.Dose anyone
has the same situation before....or any idea?
Thanks

[LinuxBIOS] Abuild test
by Li-Ta Lo
Hi,
I tried to make as many boards to pass abuild test as possible. Now I
have most of them working. The non working boards are in three
categories:
1. Known to be broken:
technologic/ts5300, via/epia-m
2. Bug in ROMCC:
island/aruma, ROMCC complain about something in
coherent_ht.c:1543.39: coherent_ht.c:1805.27: auto.c:166.47:
0x88cd720 phi Internal compiler error: Cannot find block
dominated by 0x83b8150
3. Bug in Abuild:
digitallogic/msm586seg, emulation/qemu-i386,
Abuild generates incorrect value (0x-5000) for
PAYLOAD_SIZE in Makefile.setting. I can figure out
why it generate such a insane thing.
4. Bug in ldscript:
tyan/s2880, tyan/s4880, the default ROM_IMAGE_SIZE
generated by Abuild is wrong for these boards. The
value in target Config.lb is good.
5. CAR WIP:
tyan/s2735, YhLu, did you ever get CAR working on this
one?
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/freebios2_test/util/abuild/linuxbios-
builds/tyan_s2735/normal'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target
`/tmp/freebios2_test/src/cpu/intel/car/cache_as_ram.inc', needed by
`crt0.s'. Stop.
