[LinuxBIOS] Bios flashing
by Mark Kotyk 19 Jan '07

19 Jan '07

Here's a couple links I found to be really cool. They propose using cheap and common flash socketed network cards as flash memory programmers. This could be had for a lot cheaper/easier than a BIOS Savior. I feel these links should be added to the Wiki. http://ctflasher.sourceforge.net/ - Linux based software project to flash various types of flash memory using a variety of network cards. http://sandeen.net/fwfix/index.html - The original link I found that proposed the idea, and successfully applied it to update a USB hard drive firmware. I'm planning to do a Car PC project using LinuxBIOS on a EPIA-MII motherboard. I was able to find a cheap 3Com PLCC flash socketed network card at my local computer surplus store this morning. Now I just need to order a few spare memory chips from digikey ($1.79 each), and a PLCC chip extractor for good measure, and I'm ready to rock'n'roll. Cheers

>+probe_idregs_fintek(unsigned short port){ >+ unsigned int vid, did; >+ >+ // Enable configuration sequence (Fintek uses this for example) >+ outb(0x87, port); >+ outb(0x87, port); Winbond superios also need to do this way ,so I think change probe_idregs_fintek to another name will be more convient. we need only case 0xxxx for winbond superio. bxshi

[LinuxBIOS] patch, add support for ST M50FW080
by ron minnich 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

I keep forgetting this procedure. I hope this is ok. Add support for ST M50FW080 (1 MBYTE firmware hub). Note that it seems to work, but does not program; this is probably due to the board we are on, as this part is advertised as FWH compatible. Approved-by: Ronald G.

Hi, On Wed, Jan 17, 2007 at 11:15:31AM +0000, svn(a)openbios.org wrote: > trivial enhancement > * add license header > * add clean target in makefile These are trivial... > * add fintek superio support ...but this is not IMHO. From looking at the code it's a lot more stuff than just adding some IDs to flashrom or similar. Please post such changes to the list first. > + case 0x0604: > + printf ("Fintek F71805\n"); > + break; > + case 0x4103: > + printf ("Fintek F71872\n"); > + break; Btw, did you get the Fintek chips to properly work?

[LinuxBIOS] MSI MS9638 with linuxbios possible??
by bxshi＠msik.com.cn 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Hi All , MSI 5000V Master Series(MS-9638) http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/server/svr/pro_svr_detail.php?UID=633 it is an intel based MB. I wonder if I want to make it with linuxbios support, how much effort should I make? Linuxbios supports ESB6300 now,and I think it is more or less the same as ESB2E.The biggest problem may be the northbridge. Any advice is welcome. Below is some information: CPU: *Dual Dempsey/Woodcrest processor (FSB 667/1066/1333MHz), LGA771 socket *2MB L2 Cache per Core Chipset: *MCH: Intel Blackford-VS *SB: Intel ESB2E, supports SATAII 3Gb/sec, USB2.0. Memory: *Support 4 DDR2 FBDIMMs *2 Way Interleaved DDR2 533/667 registered ECC DIMM *Maximum 16 GB support with DDR2 533/667 Thanks bxshi *****CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION***** This email is intended only for the use of the person or entity to whom it is addressed and contains information that may be subject to and/or may be restricted from disclosure by contract or applicable law.
