Compiler warnings don't seem to be useful to get things fixed. They also obscure real warnings. The medium-term goal would be to have warning-free compilation. After that -Werror would be nice. It seems like a small thing to ask that code compile without warnings. -- Ticket URL: <http://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/coreboot/ticket/142> coreboot <http://www.coreboot.org/>

[PATCH] RAMTOP fixes
by Myles Watson April 27, 2010

April 27, 2010

I think we should clean up memory allocation. There are multiple places in the code where RAMTOP is used as an offset into ram and cast to a struct. I think if something is important enough that it needs to be allocated separately from the stack, it should show up in the ldscripts, not just in the code. What's important enough? K8 page tables for APs? EHCI debug? Sysinfo structs? Signed-off-by: Myles Watson <mylesgw(a)gmail.com> Thanks, Myles

#149: AMD DB800 Hangs at "Decompressing Coreboot to Ram"

#149: AMD DB800 Hangs at "Decompressing Coreboot to Ram" -------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: edwin_beasant@… | Owner: somebody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: coreboot | Version: v2 Keywords: | Dependencies: Patchstatus: patch needs review | -------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- A vanilla build of r4971 appears to hang at the "Decompressing Coreboot to Ram" message when run on the Zoom DB800 development board. After tearing this down, it appears that the code pre "call cbfs_and_run_core" (and post done_cache_as ram_main) in cache_as_ram.inc for the geode appears to have gained some code from the crt0.S.lb generic i386 infrastructure. From the end of "done_cache_as_ram_main" to the point of calling cbfs_and_run_core appears to attempt to "reset" the stack after flushing the cache. This causes the subsequent calls to printk_debug() (or related functions) to fail. (CONSOLE_DEBUG_TX_STRING would also appear to not clean up after itself) Solution is to leave the stack as is until the copy to ram has completed. Patch attached as tested working on Zoom AMD DB800 board, 256MB of RAM, 1024k Flash (SST 49LF008A). -- Ticket URL: <http://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/coreboot/ticket/149> coreboot <http://www.coreboot.org/>

[patch] Buildrom support for Asus M2V-MX SE
by Cristi Magherusan April 18, 2010

April 18, 2010

Here's the patch: http://panzer.utcluj.ro/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/avatt/patch/?id=1f45b765097fd8ba21… Signed-off by: Cristi Măgherușan <cristi.magherusan(a)net.utcluj.ro> I'm unable to say which others may worth it, but someone who's interested by buildrom can also cherry-pick some changesets/patches from my git repos at http://panzer.utcluj.ro/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/ and include them in the main buildrom repo. A few of them are merged in the buildrom repo, while others are still in AVATT (I'm using braid to track my buildrom repo from AVATT, so it's easy to do it), but they will be merged eventually when I have some spare time..
