It would be nice if we could test coreboot images in VirtualBox, see
http://virtualbox.org/.
VirtualBox does not (yet) provide a simple mechanism to use a different
BIOS in their emulated machines (something like "-L" in qemu). Instead the
BIOS image (a custom bochs BIOS + LGPL'g VGABIOS) is converted to C code
(an array of bytes, or the like) and merged into the VirtualBox
executable.
The relevant files are
{{{
src/VBox/Devices/PC/DevPcBios.cpp
bldprogs/bin2c.c
}}}
if someone want to hack VirtualBox to easily support using coreboot images
instead of their usual BIOS.

#110: Allow for per-device subsystem IDs
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: uwe | Owner: somebody
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: coreboot | Version: v3
Keywords: | Dependencies:
Patchstatus: there is no patch |
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Currently both v2 and v3 only allow us to use one global set of PCI
subsystem IDs, which is too simplistic. In theory (and often in practice)
each PCI device has (or can have) its own subsystem ID.
We should fix this, at least in v3, possibly also in v2.

#104: flashrom: Change flash drivers to never erase data before writing

The user should be responsible for ensuring that the flash chip has been
erased where new data should be written.
At the moment, flashrom will erase at least one full page and then rewrite
it, when the user asks to only write a few bytes using -l/-i/-s/-e.

The check belongs in a configure script or similar, the check also claims
that packages can not be found for any build error, which is not good
enough. Has confused more than one user already.

Maybe require -f to actually perform the test, since it will potentially
fail to restore the flash chip to it's original state.

Hello,
as I posted on the blog of Uwe, I have a sony vaio pcg sr1k laptop, and
wonder if I could flash it with coreboot. The box has
Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX Host bridge chipset.
hovewer the results of the following commands are not encouriging, please
tell me if there is any chance to get coreboot working. Please find attached
the outpoot of the commands.
sudo superiotool -dV > siot.out
lspci -tvnn > lspci.out
sudo flashrom -V
