[LinuxBIOS] [PATCH] Move common utilities to util/
by Uwe Hermann 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

Hi, here's my proposal for moving (via 'svn mv') common utilities which are not specific to a certain version of LinuxBIOS into the global util/ (they are now in the v2 util/). Todo ---- abuild -- needs discussion; will it work for v3 eventually? ADLO -- is/should be version-independant analysis buildrom -- not related to Jordan's buildrom? Needed in v2? dump_mmcr getpir lbtdump -- Do we need this at all? Can't lxbios do the same? mptable probe_superio resetcf Projects which should _not_ be moved ------------------------------------ newconfig -- v2-specific optionlist -- v2-specific options -- needed for v2 build, but we have a fork in v3 (FIXME?) romcc -- not used in v3 vgabios -- we use a different/modified version in v3, so leave this Already moved ------------- flashrom lxbios Comments welcome. If nobody complains, I'll move the projects tomorrow or so. Another discussion is needed as to which of the utilities we should draw back into v2/v3 via svn:externals (IMHO _not_ all of them, only often-used ones). After a quick look I'd suggest the following: - adlo (while we're at it, we should rename it from ADLO to adlo, IMO) This will be used often for booting Windows and OpenBSD soon... - flashrom (already done), often used for flashing. - lxbios (already done), often used for changing options. Commens welcome. Uwe. -- http://www.hermann-uwe.de | http://www.holsham-traders.de http://www.crazy-hacks.org | http://www.unmaintained-free-software.org

[LinuxBIOS] addr_offset help
by Joseph Smith 02 Sep '07

02 Sep '07

Can someone explain the significance of the addr_offset variable in raminit.c on the i440bx and i82810? Also why is this set to 0x1d0 for the Mode register set (MRS)? Thanks - Joe

[LinuxBIOS] hotplugging flash piece on A8N-E successful
by extinct man 01 Sep '07

01 Sep '07

I don't know whether this can be called "best practice" on mainbords, but with a handle super glued to those SST 49LF040 I repeatedly hot-unplugged a badly flashed (non working) flash and then used flashrom to reflash it. it worked all the time. Even an 8 Mbit piece 49LF080A works with the Asus a8ne, so maybe a kernel may be squeezed in there as well. thus, no need for an external eprommer :-) --Q Wissenswertes für Bastler und Hobby Handwerker.

I don't know how to make a valid patch. I have added support for the Winbond W29EE011 Chip. This is an old device. But I found it on same mainboards. Greeding Markus

[LinuxBIOS] [PATCH] probe_superio: add ITE support
by Carl-Daniel Hailfinger 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

This adds probing for almost all recent (since 1999) ITE Super I/O chips to probe_superio. Not much of the configuration is dumped, however I did verify against all ITE datasheets (including those not available any more) that the probing was non-destructive. More information can be extracted easily, however this needs loads of datasheet surfing.

[LinuxBIOS] Problem with Buildroom and GeodeLX (db800)
by Steffen D. 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

Hello together! Im trying to build a linuxbios for my AMD Geode LX db800 board. First time i tryed it directly with linuxbiosv2 and v3. After i find out that v3 wont work i tryed it with v2 and dont get anything working - i tryed it by hand with the lx_vsa and so on. I read a lot of papers i found on the net but didnt get forward so i asked on the irc channel, thanks uwe for you help! Im now trying it with buildrom - my main problem is that i dont get any vga and rs232 output. I have a postcard which shows these values: 75,11, 40, 24, 66, F8, EE It takes about 5 then EE is showed. I have a very big ROM 4Mbit. The resulting image is 512kb - i tryed this and get the post-output. When i try "cat foo.rom foo.rom ... > final.rom" (8 times foo.rom) to fill up 4mbit it gives the same result - no output only on the post-card. You find my .config for buildrom on nopaste - http://nopaste.php-quake.net/3269 If have done everything exactly like in the read me. I have a hardware flash device its called galep-5. In very sure its working (also with my roms) because i have flashed the old bios from this chip and cloned it to another one. Im also testing some times if its still working by flashing the old bios on it and booting it. Here are all details: SuperIO - Winbond83627hG AMD Geode LX 700 / CS5536AD ROM - SST49LF004B (4mbit) Devel-env: debian gcc-4.1 (3.4 wont work at all with lxbios for me!) Im very sure that all the hardware works - im have done everything a lot of times again to verify that i dont made a mistake - also i have tested the hw with a other bios to see if everything included the rom is stoll working - every help is very welcome! Regards, Steffen
