[LinuxBIOS] GA-6BXC - cont'd
by Uwe Hermann Aug. 12, 2006

Aug. 12, 2006

Hi, here's the output I get when running LinuxBIOS ony my GA-6BXC board, using the fixed IT8671F code from svn, and an almost unmodified bitworks/ims code. I have 3 RAM slots (all used); does the output look good? Where should I continue now? One thing I'll have to figure out is to build a payload which prints some stuff to the serial port, so I know that the payload is reached. The monitor stays black, which code do I need to touch to get VGA output? Cheers, 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

[LinuxBIOS] GA-6BXC - first try.
by Uwe Hermann Aug. 11, 2006

Aug. 11, 2006

Hi, I've finally received my replacement BIOS - the good news is that my motherboard still works (as does the replacement BIOS). However, I seem to have some problems with LinuxBIOS (or I haven't read enough docs, yet). Here's what I did: 1. Checkout LinuxBIOSv2 as of today 2. cd util/flashrom 3. make 4. cd ../../targets 5. ./buildtarget bitworks/ims 6. cd bitworks/ims/ims 7. make 8. Replace (while system is running) the BIOS with a Winbond W49F002U-12B chip. 9. sudo ../../../util/flashrom/flashrom -w linuxbios.rom Calibrating delay loop... ok No LinuxBIOS table found. No EEPROM/flash device found. I also tried with an AM29F040B-90PC, with the same result... Did I miss anything? Anyways, I'm off reading more docs.
