Re: [LinuxBIOS] Building LinuxBIOS

> Using Windows to build LinuxBIOS is not supported at the moment. I've built LB under cygwin for several months, without problems. The only three 'issues' I recall were (1) needing to install the cygwin version of python, (I had tried the Windows version first), (2) needing to install a cross-compiler (i.e. i686-linux-gnu) to compile properly, and (3) needing cmos.options to be in UNIX format ('\n') not DOS ('\r\n'). The cross-compiler can be generated pretty easily using Dan Kegel's crosstool (http://kegel.com/crosstool). When I try to compile amd/quartet or amd/solo (on Linux OR cygwin) I get the following error: incoherent_ht.c:153.7: bad type specifier ( make[1]: *** [auto.inc] Error 1 ...but this is different than narahari's issue and probably something in the source code that needs changing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven J.

[LinuxBIOS] Compilation error (vga_fixup and mdelay)
by skb tdf 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

Hello, I'm a newbie with LinuxBIOS. I would like to make LinuxBIOSv2 working on VIA EPIA-MII. Unfortunately I can't compile from the source. I tried to make it based on LinuxBIOS-AMD64.eps. buildtarget via/epia-m seems to be success but 'make' in via/epia-m/epia-m fails with the following message: crt0.S: Assembler messages: crt0.S:166: Warning: indirect jmp without `*' linuxbios_ram.o(.text+0x8bc): In function `vga_fixup': : undefined reference to `setup_realmode_idt' linuxbios_ram.o(.text+0x8cd): In function `vga_fixup': : undefined reference to `do_vgabios' linuxbios_ram.o(.text+0x8e0): In function `vga_fixup': : undefined reference to `vga_enable_console' linuxbios_ram.o(.text+0x22e1): In function `mdelay': : undefined reference to `udelay' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [linuxbios_ram] Error 1 make: *** [normal/linuxbios.rom] Error 1 The case is same if I try to run util/abuild.sh via/epia-m Is there a description/doc/help how to build the bios? Or is there some ready-to-burn binary image for VIA EPIA-MII? Thx, Sza2 _______________________________________________________________________ [freemail] extra 1GB-os postafiókkal, Önnek már van? http://freemail.hu

Hi everyone, I have downloaded the LinuxBIOSv2. I tried to build the target image by issuing <./buildtarget amb/solo> command. The output as follows: **************************************************************************** ************************ $ ./buildtarget amd/solo build_dir=amd/quartet/quartet No linuxbios config script found. Rebuilding it.. C:\cygwin\bin\python.exe: can't open file '/cygdrive/d/freebios-NWS-docs/LinuxBI OS_downloaded/LinuxBIOS_most_recent/LinuxBIOSv2/util/newconfig/yapps2.py' C:\cygwin\bin\python.exe: can't open file 'amd/quartet/quartet/config.py' **************************************************************************** ************************* Please let me know how do I generate the config files? Looking forward, With regards, narahari

[LinuxBIOS] Disk Passwords
by Dave Feustel 29 Aug '05

Does Linux Bios support use of the disk user/administrative passwords and the 'freeze' function as defined in the ATA specs? Does Linux Bios boot OpenBSD? Thanks, Dave Feustel -- Tired of having to defend against Malware? (You know: trojans, viruses, SPYWARE, ADWARE, KEYLOGGERS, rootkits, worms and popups) Then Switch to OpenBSD with a KDE desktop!!!

[LinuxBIOS] [patch] LINUXBIOS_ASSEMBLER & GCC_INC_DIR definitions
by magicfox 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hi, 1. If assembler version string contain parentheses like (i686-pc-linux-gnu), it breaks bash on Makefile. 2. No gcc message language depend of GCC_INC_DIR definition. src_config.patch corrects items 1-2 vs last svn revision 2009 . I have also a problem with udelay in ibm/e325 make ... /LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/ibm/e325/auto.c -o auto.inc delay.c:9.1: udelay already defined make[1]: *** [auto.inc] Error 1 Please, can somebody help ? Best regards

Isn't the code > in allocate_vga_resource sufficient? I'm using the CK804, which has a PCI-to-PCI bridge to the VGA PCI card. The CK804 code just happens to write the bit to enable the P2P bridge to claim all the legacy VGA addresses. I'm not sure where it's written. No, this is not done in allocate_vga_resource.

Here is the log output I got: PCI: 02:06.0 init rom address for PCI: 02:06.0 = fd000000 PCI Expansion ROM, signature 0xaa55, INIT size 0x8000, data ptr 0x0020 PCI ROM Image, Vendor 100c, Device 3208, PCI ROM Image, Class Code 000003, Code Type 00 Class Code mismatch ROM 00000003, dev 00030000 rom_data->class_hi=0 equal to 300?? <-------- I added this print message pci_rom_load, copying non-VGA ROM Image from fd000000 to d0000, 8000 bytes halt_sys: file /home/sjk/design_082305/freebios2-3/src/devices/emulator/x86emu/ops.c, line 4400 Devices initialized > > Do you have any patch that have to be commit to the tree? I'd like to submit a lot of CK804 code with comments, but we haven't reviewed the changes with nVidia. It probably has too many comments to pass a review. Steve

[LinuxBIOS] VGA support
by Stephen.Kimball＠bench.com 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

I just got a VGA addon card to work on the nVidia nf4crb board. Maybe my comments would be helpful to others. 1) Turning on the VGA options in Options.lb (CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA and CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN) added more "stuff" than I could fit on a 512K Flash device. I had to use a pin compatible 1M Flash device. Are there other options if a larger Flash device is not available? For example, what are the Options.lb changes to run without a FALLBACK or without CMOS Options. Are there ways to tell how much free Flash space you have? 2) I'd suggest the VGA Support page have a reference to the FreeVGA article. 3) The VGA support page should have a suggestion to check to see that PCI bridges are set to enable forwarding of VGA memory mapped I/O. 4) I needed to change src/devices/pci_rom.c in pci_rom_load() at about line 88 to force the VGA ROM to be copied to PCI_VGA_RAM_IMAGE_START (0xC0000). The rom_data->class_hi test failed when it shouldn't have? The VGA support is very cool. Thanks to all who made it work. Steve
