Change to use CBFS - Help needed
by Harrison, Jon (SELEX GALILEO, UK) 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Hi Guys, I could use a pointer to some CBFS info, to get the Via epia-n build running again since the change to use CBFS was mandated. Before CBFS buildrom gave me a 384K coreboot.rom which, when concatenated with vga.bin and bochs.bin gave me my 512k coreboot.final.bin for programming. I see from the CBFS page on coreboot.org that there is provision for option roms, but no description of how to include them. I can't see any description of how the other config options are utilised when CONFIG_CBFS == 1. Can someone either tell directly me how to build a 512k CBFS image that has:: 0x00000 --> -------------------- | VGA BIOS | 0x10000 --> -------------------- | BOCHS BIOS | 0x20000 --> -------------------- | PAYLOAD | | + | | COREBOOT | | + | | FREE | 0x7FFFF --> -------------------- Or point to a good example to get started from. I guess something needs to be added to targets/via/epia-n/Config.lb ?? .. .. romimage "fallback" option COREBOOT_EXTRA_VERSION = "-epia_n-fallback" payload ../../../../../payloads/filo/filo.elf end .. ..

Linux Journal -- next month
by Gregg C Levine 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Hello! My mistake. The current issue out is indeed September, and the next month issue will indeed be the October one. As I stated before, they always mention what the subscriber has to look forward to in the contents for the current month. The theme for the October issue is "Hack this!" and they are giving a humungous amount of suggestions, including the phone idea from Google, and then Coreboot, plus the usuals. -- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon(a)worldnet.att.net "The Force will be with you always."

Interesting issue from earlier today
by Gregg C Levine 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Hello! Around 1:30AM (EDT NY Time) I was busy restoring a tar file of one of my systems when it was then time to run SVN and update that local repository to what's considered normal on the ones at the host. I kept timing out there. I tried doing the same thing at the regular one, same thing. I even tried checking the website to see if it had any clews. Nothing there, my browser insisted that the site wasn't at home. Now, running SVN on the V2 repository completes appropriately until it reaches the emulation layer for video: root@jimkirk2:~# cd /usr/src/lobos root@jimkirk2:/usr/src/lobos# cd coreboot-v2 root@jimkirk2:/usr/src/lobos/coreboot-v2# svn update U documentation/Kconfig.tex svn: Failed to add directory 'util/x86emu': object of the same name already exists root@jimkirk2:/usr/src/lobos/coreboot-v2# That's been happening since an update at about the beginning of the month. Change of subject here: Did anyone from the team contribute an article on Coreboot to the Linux Journal magazine for September? The magazine always mentions what the subscriber has to look forward to next month in the current month's issue table of contents. -- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon(a)worldnet.att.net "The Force will be with you always."

Well, I'd taken this out incase in did conflict with the specific resource allocations below 0x1000. I'd wanted to make it much clearer what the fixed resources actually used by the SB actually were.

[PATCH] fix cbfs_header location
by Thomas Jourdan 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Hi guys I think I found a bug in CBFS. It's about the cbfs master header location. Under certains circumstances, it can be overwritten by a file, hence corrupting the rom. I added some debug output to explain the problem. First I create a dummy bootblock and the rom : dd if=/dev/zero of=bootblock bs=16k count=4 cbfstool rom create 262144 65536 bootblock 16 ----- create_rom: create cbfs_header at offset 0x2ffd0 create_rom: write cbfs master header address 0xfffeffd0 ----- cbfstool rom print rom: 256 kB, bootblocksize 65536, romsize 262144, offset 0x0 Alignment: 16 bytes Name Offset Type Size 0x0 free 196536 Finally create and add tfhe file : dd if=/dev/zero of=dummy bs=196536 count=1 cbfstool rom add dummy dummy 256 ----- rom_alloc: Found free file at offset 0x0 headersize 0x28 size 0x2ffb8 rom_alloc: nextoffset 0x2ffe0 rom_alloc: truncoffset 0x2ffe0 ----- cbfstool rom print (cbfstool) E: This does not appear to be a valid ROM (cbfstool) E: Problem while reading the ROM As you can see, nextoffset is 0x10 byte after the cbfs_header. The file I added overwrote it. I attached a patch to fix this. Signed-off-by: Thomas Jourdan <thomas.jourdan(a)gmail.com> Regards, Thomas
