[LinuxBIOS] register settings 5780,5785
by Thomas Ekstrand 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

Hi! I'd like to change some register settings in bcm5780 and 5785. I don't know how this works, I have tried to scout the code for someplace where the registers are set but with no luck. Where would this be done? Thanks in advance! Thomas

[LinuxBIOS] Booting Windows XP / Vista - Google Summer of Code
by emanoel xavier 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

Hi Everyone, I was reading the Augusto`s message on this mailing and i got intersted on this work. I tried boot a linux system using some steps on this tutorial http://linuxbios.org/QEMU_Build_Tutorial and I got it. Now i`m thinking about booting the Windows 2000 using a similar way. I know it is possible because I`ve read something about this on http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix03/tech/freenix03/agnew/agnew_html/index…. Have of you booted the windows 2000 using LinuxBios? Do you any other document about this or tutorial with the needed steps? Thanks in advance. -- Emanoel Manassés Bernardo Xavier

Hi, Mondrian, Thanks very much! I works now! I found that the function has not been called before I did some modifications: 1 add a option to the flashrom command line, such as: -m iwill:dk8_htx 2 I comment the pci device search in the board_match_linuxbios_name function because it seems that I can't find the pci device which we add into the board_pciid_enables table. Perhaps I should modify the table finally. But for tests, I just comment the pci device search and it works now! Thank you very much again for your help!

Hi! You need to enable writing to the flash. In case of the Iwill board, some SuperIO GPIOs need to be properly set. I sent an email to the list with a patch attached, which configures flashrom to handle the iwill dk8_htx correctly.

[LinuxBIOS] about programming BIOS Savior
by Ning (Michael) Qu 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

Hi, All I have a problem on programming BIOS Savior. I just got a BIOS Savior PMC4, and the flash embedded in it is Pm49FL004. My motherboard is DK8-HTX and I have read the original BIOS by flashrom into a file. I want to program it into BIOS Savior but the verification process always failed (more than 10 times). I search on our forum and find that it maybe a little difficult to program BIOS Savior succefully. Is it true? Is it because of the support of Pm49FL004 flash by flashrom? And is there anything else I can do for it? Thanks very much! The error information about flashrom is as following: when programming [ning@localhost linuxbios]$ sudo flashrom -c Pm49FL004 -V -w orig.rom Calibrating delay loop... Setting up microsecond timing loop 14M loops per second ok No LinuxBIOS table found. Enabling flash write on AMD8111...OK Trying Pm49FL004, 512 KB probe_jedec: id1 0x9d, id2 0x6e Pm49FL004 found at physical address: 0xfff80000 Flash part is Pm49FL004 (512 KB) Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks. Programming Page: 0007 at address: 0x00070000 when verifying [ning@localhost linuxbios]$ sudo flashrom -c Pm49FL004 --force -v orig.rom Calibrating delay loop... ok No LinuxBIOS table found.

[LinuxBIOS] r2618 build service
by LinuxBIOS information 25 Apr '07

Dear LinuxBIOS readers! This is the automated build check service of LinuxBIOS. The developer "uwe" checked in revision 2618 to the LinuxBIOS source repository and caused the following changes: Change Log: Revert the image size increasing for abuild. It breaks more boards than it fixes. It seems many of the other boards run out of space for the payload. Thus, this patch only increases the image size for the three boards - tyan/s2912 - nvidia/l1_2pvv - gigabyte/m57sli by adding a custom Config-abuild.lb file for each of them.
