Maybe it's time for another Kconfig option? Many other boards can boot with the dongle as well, and they similarly could benefit from a kernel right in the dongle. Initially I was suggested to put it in mainboard specific code, with stage1 getting no objections. Committed as rev687 Thanks, Mart Raudsepp

Anyhow, added a line saying /* 16MB for now, as 8MB would not be enough for WinCE */ and stole the Acks for rev686 Thanks, Mart Raudsepp

Oh? I thought we got something based on the memory chip specs. Someone will have to work on making these optimal at some point anyway. I do have memtest errors in two specific memory addresses, which haven't surfaced with a known good coreboot-v2 based firmware, but it's still chugging along here with it. > I have no grafix from dbe62 at present. Don't know why. How about coreinfo as payload with libpayload configured to Geode Video support? That's the only video output I've gotten as well. lxfb doesn't work with 2.6.25 (with any BIOS firmware) for me, and I haven't gotten to try 2.6.24 with v3 yet. Launching X with native driver (xf86-video-geode is the minimal that can work with coreboot) leads to kernel oopses as mentioned many times before, possibly involving mfpgt (or some other ordering of those letters :). Regular console obviously doesn't work, as there is no VGA BIOS running, and it seems there's quite some resistance to get that added in too anyway. All the other problems I've noted before (thread titled "DBE62 status") were noticed over a ssh session, with kernel spitting to serial console (where the oopses were visible).

> Unless someone has a huge problem with this (I don't) > > Acked-by: Ronald G. Minnich <rminnich(a)gmail.com> > > so you're booting? Do we have your RAM setup commit? I didn't do anything to it. It just worked as it was, just had to get video memory set up to get coreinfo going instead of "q-funk: like what a nice C4 game with heavy pixelation might appear" :) I don't quite remember what was wrong in my testings before. I just updated to HEAD, compiled and it worked as shown at http://www.pastebin.ca/1031398 Maybe it all worked before, and I was too sleepy to notice the last time around? To be sure, I'd have to go look around IRC logs from that day, but it's getting late. Regarding WinCE, I just remembered 8MB wasn't enough for some tests on DBE62, so I just went straight 16MB for DBE61, instead of having to later have to up it to 16MB. DBE62 could use upping that from 8MB to 16MB too, but maybe by the time that will be necessary in practice, someone (possibly me) has cooked up a Kconfig patch instead. Regards, Mart Raudsepp
