Hello, my name is Brian. I was reading the FAQ page of your website and was told to email to ask if coreboot would work on my system. The following are my specs as best as I can provide them; 1: CPU - Intel Celeron 3.07 GHZ Socket 478 Motherboard - MSI 865PE Neo2-V Northbridge - Intel 865PE Southbridge - Intel ICH5 2: LSPCI #00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82865G/PE/P DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface \ # (rev 02) # 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82865G/PE/P PCI to AGP Controller (rev 02) # 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) # 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) # 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 02) # 00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 02) # 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 02) # 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev c2) # 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 02) # 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) IDE Controller (rev 02) # 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) SMBus Controller (rev 02) # 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio # Controller (rev 02) # 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1) # 02:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Via VT82C686 (A/B) southbridge
by Jacek Chruscik 23 Mar '08

23 Mar '08

Hi, Does anybody know how to deal with this southbridge: VIA VT82c686 I'm trying to port coreboot v.2 for FIC FR33E motherboard, but this southbridge has the superio built in. I don't have any datasheet for this chip. coreboot-v2 has no option for such superio, and all I need to do is to initialize serial port. As a base I used via-epia code. The north is vt8601. So far I generated PIRQ table, modified auto.c to recognize correct southbridge, modified config.lb to initialize devices. There is serial init function in vt82c686 source: static void vt82c686_enable_serial(device_t dev, unsigned iobase) ..... but it requires 2 parameters, which I don't have (called as early serial init from auto.c): static void main(unsigned long bist) { unsigned long x; if (bist == 0) { early_mtrr_init(); } enable_vt8231_serial(); //now it is called as: vt82c686_enable_serial uart_init(); console_init(); .......

Adding openSUSE flashrom packages to the Coreboot Wiki
by Bernhard Walle 22 Mar '08

22 Mar '08

Hi, can somebody with editing permissions add following information on http://www.coreboot.org/Flashrom: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- openSUSE: $ zypper install coreboot-utils For distributions older than openSUSE Factory (11.0) you find "backports" in the [[http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=ALL&q=coreboot-utils openSUSE Build Service]]. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Feel free to adjust the information as long as it's still true. :) Bernhard

Today i was able to boot via etherboot 5.4.3 coreboot v2. But only with irqpoll. So i generate with getpir a irq_tables.c. I use the axus/tc320 as sample. So i copied the irq_tables.c to src/mainboard/axus/tc320 but after i can't compile any more. gcc -Wl,--build-id=none -nostdlib -nostartfiles -static -o coreboot_ram -T /home/ryven/Linuxbios/coreboot-v2/src/config/coreboot_ram.ld coreboot_ram.o coreboot_ram.o: In function `write_tables': (.text+0x26f2): undefined reference to `write_pirq_routing_table' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [coreboot_ram] Fehler 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ryven/Linuxbios/coreboot-v2/targets/axus/tc320/tc320/normal' make: *** [normal/coreboot.rom] Fehler 1 So how is the right way? Regards Markus

New Site Set-Top-Linux (formerly RM4100 Customizing)
by joe＠smittys.pointclark.net 22 Mar '08

22 Mar '08

Hello, We have a new website! As interests grew for other set-top-boxes I would like to introduce you to the new website Set-Top-Linux. There is currently support for 4 different set-top-boxes (RCA RM4100, RCA Akimbo IP1150, Thomson IP1000 Series, and Akimbo AP1200), and room to expand. It is setup with a new Wiki and forum. I would like everyone to take a few minutes out of your day to come and visit:-) Feedback is welcome. http://www.smittys.pointclark.net/stl/index.php What does this have to do with coreboot, you ask? Everything, My goal is to get coreboot running on all four of these boxes, 1 almost down, 3 to go. I have my work cut out for me..... BTW - I update any links on the coreboot wiki to point to the new site. Thanks - Joe

libpayload link address
by Jonathan A. Kollasch 22 Mar '08

22 Mar '08

Hi, I notice the ldscript for libpayload places the payload at 0x100000. This may not be a good idea, as this is the usual location to load the OS kernel. Jonathan Kollasch
