[LinuxBIOS] 4mb Flash
by zooy0rk＠zooy0rk.net 18 May '07

18 May '07

Hi Everyone, I recently purchased a VIA Epia MII 12000 with the intentions of using LinuxBIOS but I am having a slight problem using a 4mb bios. According to VIA this board does indeed support a 4mb flash (http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/motherboards.jsp?motherboard_i…). I also purchased a 4mb SST39SF040 bios chip which according to the manual is in fact 4mb (http://www.sst.com/downloads/datasheet/S71147.pdf). However, when I run flashrom it produces the following output: ./flashrom Calibrating delay loop... ok No LinuxBIOS table found. Found chipset "VT8235": Enabling flash write... OK. Found board "VIA EPIA M/MII/...": Enabling flash write... OK. SST39SF040 found at physical address: 0xfff80000 Flash part is SST39SF040 (512 KB) OK, only ENABLING flash write, but NOT FLASHING. As you can see, flashrom thinks this is only a 512KB chip. Upon further inspection I found that total_size is defined as 512 in flashchips.c. I tried increasing this number to 4096 but then flashrom reported invalid (0xFF) manufacturer and product IDs. Can someone please shed some light on this situation for me? Am I missing something? Thanks William

[LinuxBIOS] Booting into MSDOS
by MARTIN WOODHOUSE 18 May '07

18 May '07

Hello Stefan and Darmawan and all Stefan wrote : Since it comes with Linux preinstalled, it should be easier to use Linux than to try getting MSDOS working on there..!? Stefan That may very well be true. But I have a program already written for MSDOS (not Windows) which would be a truly major task to rewrite and recompile to run under Linux --- as SJ has alreeady pointed out to me. A presentation of this program can be found on my own Web site www.martin-woodhouse.co.uk -- and I do urge everybody to take a look at it. If I cannot persuade you all to allow the XO to boot into MSDOS, my current alternative is to load both MSDOS itself, and a complete library of Illumination e-books, onto a USB flash drive --- there should be room for around a thousand or so such books on a 1 gig flashstick as well as MSDOS -- and arrange for the flashstick itself to be bootable. But this is rather an awkward way round of doing things; I'd much rather the XO could be dual-booted into both Linux and MSDOS. And since you're already contemplating using Windows an an alternative OS, ( ! ) this shouldn't really present too much of a problem, should it? Cheers and luv to all, Martin

[LinuxBIOS] subversion/svn:external
by Ward Vandewege 18 May '07

18 May '07

Following up on the discussion a while back about the use of svn:external, I thought this was a piece of useful advice. But it might be entirely obvious to you, in which case, please ignore this message :) Thanks, Ward. ----- Forwarded message from David Kramer ----- Date: Fri, 18 May 2007 11:13:34 -0400 (EDT) From: David Kramer Bringing shared components into a project is one of the most popular uses for svn:external. Let me give you a piece of advice we learned the hard way in my company: Do not have the external point to the trunk of the shared component. Make a release/X.Y directory, and point it at that directory. As you release new versions of the shared component, you can test each app with the new version, and change the svn external to point to the newer version. If you don't do it this way, when you update the shared component for one application, all the others will be forced to work with the new version. If there's an API change, you're sunk. But if you create releases of the shared component and link to them from the applications, the work for one application can't break another. -- Ward Vandewege <ward(a)gnu.org>
