ADLO for buildrom
by Myles Watson May 11, 2008

May 11, 2008

This patch adds ADLO to buildrom using the gcc ported BOCHS BIOS. It boots Windows XP in QEMU. It still needs as86 to be installed because I didn't port the loader yet. Other things like making the loader understand the coreboot information to get the RAM map would be nice too. I'm attaching the ELF headers, since svn diff doesn't include binary files.

by Jordan Crouse May 7, 2008

May 7, 2008

Here is a coreinfo module implementing a LAR browser. This uses the submenu patch I sent out earlier today. A good example of how the LAR walking code works. -- Jordan Crouse Systems Software Development Engineer Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

ICH7 SPI support for flashrom
by Luca Burelli May 3, 2008

May 3, 2008

Hello list, I have tried flashrom on an ICH7-based board with a SPI Flash connected. On this kind of platform, after recognizing the ICH7 SPI interface, it seems like it's still using FWH commands to probe the Flash device. From the current SVN logs, it looks like this is a work in progress, and that "hailfinger" was the most active on this topic, but the last commit was around a month ago. Is someone still working on this? What is the current status of this support? Thanks in advance, best regards Luca

buildrom v2 custom rev support
by Myles Watson April 30, 2008

April 30, 2008

This simple patch allows v2 to use the custom rev specified by the user. It is nearly identical to the same patch for v3, but wasn't possible until we consolidated the v2 .mk files. Signed-off-by: Myles Watson <mylesgw(a)gmail.com> Thanks, Myles

[PATCH] Initialize Intel 3100 serial port I/O ranges
by Ed Swierk April 30, 2008

April 30, 2008

By default, the Intel 3100 LPC interface enables only I/O range 0x3f8 for both serial ports, making it challenging to use COM2 for the early console. This patch enables the traditional I/O ranges 0x3f8 for COM1 and 0x2f8 for COM2. Signed-off-by: Ed Swierk <eswierk(a)arastra.com> --Ed
