[LinuxBIOS] ADLO
by Lu, Yinghai 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

I clean the ADLO for LBv2. (we don't need VGA rom, and pirqtable etc. LinuxBIOS already have that) but got unknown device for HD. Can test that in your platform? Later 1. we can put acpi tables and irqtables at [0xf9000, 0xfcc00), let loader.s not to overwrite that. ( need to update tables.c, and loader.s) 2. prepare the e820 table and put that on some positon at [0xf9000, 0xfcc00) for bochs. ( need to update linuxbios_table.c) Thanks Yinghai Lu

Did you connect serial console? You should get some sth from the serial port.

I changed the option FALLBACK_SIZE=262144 in the targets/newisys/khepri/Config.lb and I was able to build the khepri.rom file of size 512K. Would be nice to document the same somewhere. I also managed to try loading the same on a khepri board that I could lay my hands on. However the system did not boot . Is there a way to enable some beep() or something similar early on to know that the processor has started executing the LinuxBIOS code. I do not have a scope or other hardware that I could use to probe. There was some output on the serial but that from the service processor that my khepri board has. Any pointers?

Hi I am new to LinuxBIOS. I am using LinuxBIOSv2 .I am trying to build a rom image for the khepri board from newisys. I do the following for the build - #cd LinuxBIOSv2/targets/ #./buildtarget newisys/khepri #cd newisys/khepri/khepri #make I get the following error - linuxbios_ram.o(.text+0x853c): In function `start_cpu': : undefined reference to `_secondary_start' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [linuxbios_ram] Error 1 I am using gnu gcc 3.4.3 Can someone help me with this ASAP?

Re: [LinuxBIOS] Problem Using SimNow Simulator

1. after your build you image, please find the crt0.s in the fallback dir. 2. No. YH ________________________________ From: Dan Mezynski [mailto:danmez@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2006 3:21 PM To: Lu, Yinghai Cc: linuxbios(a)linuxbios.org Subject: Re: [LinuxBIOS] Problem Using SimNow Simulator It's nice to hear you have used SimNow to run LinuxBios on cheetah. I guess my message title was a bit miss leading, I'm not having problems with SimNow itself. In Fact I can run the AMI bios, single step thru it and even boot Fedora Core 5 linux on the simulated Serenade board in SimNow. The trouble is when I try to run the LinuxBios that I compiled, since this serenade board already exists in the LinuxBios configs, I would have thought I could select it(thru buildtarget) and it would work, but I must have missed something in the basic build procedure. I'll try to ask a couple clear questions: * Are the first few instructions executed after a reset(hard or soft) in the source file s_start.S? * Do I need to explicitly do something to configure for VGA initializations, or is that done since I'm using this existing serenade setup?

YH ________________________________ From: linuxbios-bounces(a)linuxbios.org [mailto:linuxbios-bounces@linuxbios.org] On Behalf Of Dan Mezynski Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2006 9:12 AM To: linuxbios(a)linuxbios.org Subject: [LinuxBIOS] Problem Using SimNow Simulator I'm trying to get started with LinuxBios by using the AMD SimNow hardware simulator to run LinuxBios on a Serenade board. Once we have success with simulations, we will try it on real hardware. The Serenade board is one of the standard predefined boards that comes with the simulator. Once I compile serenade.rom and reference this file as the rom device connected to the 8111(replacing the AMI BIOS file), I reboot but don't get too far into the new Linuxbios, I expected to see recognizable postcodes, such as 0x13 from c_start.S then 0x80, 0x39, 0x40 etc from hardwaremain(), but port 80 only toggles between 00 and 0x10. I try to single step from 0xfffffff0 (or 0xfffbfff0) but dont see code that looks like c_start.S. Does something come before this? I must have built serenade.rom improperly: I did the following, buildtarget amd/serenade doneloaded filo.elf edited serenade/Config.lb to refer to the filo.elf as a payload make Any ideas would be appreciated.

[LinuxBIOS] LinuxBIOS vs. FreeBIOS vs. OpenBIOS?
by Uwe Hermann 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

Hi, I'm currently reading all available documentation to get into LinuxBIOS. But I'm wondering how it's related with the other projects such as OpenBIOS and FreeBIOS. OpenBIOS is not a "competitor" in the strict sense, it's a layer above LinuxBIOS as I understand it, and can be used as payload for LinuxBIOS, right? FreeBIOS seems pretty dead (last update 2003?). Was it an alternative project which is now unmaintained, was it the same as LinuxBIOS (name change), or have both projects merged? TIA, Uwe. -- Uwe Hermann http://www.hermann-uwe.de http://www.it-services-uh.de | http://www.crazy-hacks.org http://www.holsham-traders.de | http://www.unmaintained-free-software.org
