RE: [LinuxBIOS] Section Overlaps & Offset miscalculation

Typically you need set ROM_IMAGE_SIZE to 0x15000 so you can leave some space (24Kbytes) for fallback payload.

What motherboard are you using? The first thing to check is the ROMSTRAP table. The CK804 may not allow the board to come out of reset if the ROMSTRAP is not in the proper location. I think it's at 0xFFFFFFE0 defined in ids.inc and it points to "2BIGDOGS" or 0x2B16D065.

[LinuxBIOS] E7501 Raminit rewrite
by Steven J. Magnani 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

This one ends up being a little more than a "patch". I ended up reorganizing the E7501 raminit code so I could follow it, and fixed some bugs along the way. Significant logical changes: * Added support for "fast" (64-clock) refresh * Added code to support remap window for 3 - 4 GB systems * Fixed premature configuration of true row boundaries that resulted in some sections of DRAM not receiving JEDEC commands (see http://openbios.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2005-June/011752.html). * Redefined RCOMP_MMIO so that RCOMP registers can be configured on systems where A20M# is asserted. * Disabled subsystem (vendor) ID configuration * #ifdef'd out suspicious looking code (see http://openbios.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2005-June/011759.html) * Added optional run-time checking of dual-channel compatibility of installed DIMMs * Move JEDEC SPD and SDRAM definitions into reusable #include files Probably, the rewritten code should be reviewed as if it were new. My hope is that it is now easy enough to follow that this shouldn't be too bad. The original code is, of course, in Subversion. Since I reordered the functions as part of the rewrite, a 'diff' of of the new code against the original won't tell you much. I've attached a reordered copy of the Subversion code that won't compile, but should be a little easier to diff against the new code so you can see what's changed. I will hold off on committing this for awhile to give people time to look at it. I know that radical changes are a pain to review, but IMHO the improvement in maintainability is significant. New files that are part of this 'patch', but not included here (I committed these to Subversion): src/include/spd.h src/include/sdram_mode.h src/include/northbridge/intel/e7501/e7501.h Thanks, Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven J.

[LinuxBIOS] Section Overlaps & Offset miscalculation
by San Mehat 13 Sep '05

Greetings, I'm currently trying to build a ck804 based amd bios and am having the following issue: /usr/bin/ld: section .reset [fffdfff0 -> fffdffff] overlaps section .rom [fffd858b -> fffe263f] When i increase 'ROM_IMAGE_SIZE' from 0x10000 to 0x20000 the problem goes away, however it looks like the offsets are being incorrectly computed (the reset vector jump goes off into la-la land). Any ideas?.. thanks -san

[LinuxBIOS] Via MII BIOS help, can pay!
by pj＠cassens.com 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

Hello, all! Before messing with my Via MII BIOS, I google'd my heart out and did not find any real specific info. I found many other peeps in the same boat as I am; I need CF boot for this VERY cool MB! In fact, I have committed to already buying qty 130 of them and will buy another qty 130 on my way to a total nearing 900 if I'm lucky. I won't bore you with the project details, But I will say that they are vehicle mounted PC's running Linux (of course). That's all well and good, but we are spending a fair amount on IDE-CF adapters and cables (times qty) AND we have to take the PC apart to put on a new boot image. So, part of the openbios docs indicate that "targets/via/epia-mii" exists for this board. It does not. I am trying to learn as quickly as possible about what I can do with openbios. I am willing to pay for some excelerated work/help in order to help my own cause. The payment could be money to a person or group or in hardware (to make sure it all works of course). I don't know how much is fair. I do know that http://www.esupport.com/ bios guys might be able to do it. That would suck, however... 1. enigineering cost fo $1000+++, 2. not opensource, 3. still have per bios cost nearing IDE-CF adapter cost... So, anyone interested?

[LinuxBIOS] PATCH: P64H2 cleanup

[LinuxBIOS] PATCH: failure/race in secondary CPU startup
by Steven J. Magnani 12 Sep '05

12 Sep '05

This patch does two things: * Prints a failure message when a sibling CPU fails to start (currently, a message is printed only when a CPU enumerated in Config.lb fails to start). * Detects a race condition that results in secondary CPUs using the wrong CPU info. This can occur if the BSP times out waiting for a secondary CPU to respond, for example if the secondary startup code is modified so that an emulator can be used to debug the secondary CPU.
