#95: Run coreboot in VirtualBox

#95: Run coreboot in VirtualBox ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: uwe | Owner: somebody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: misc | Version: Keywords: | Dependencies: Patchstatus: there is no patch | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ 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. -- Ticket URL: <http://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/coreboot/ticket/95> coreboot <http://www.coreboot.org/>

EHCI debug port finder
by Carl-Daniel Hailfinger 30 May '14

30 May '14

I wanted to know which physical port of my multiple USB controllers have the debug capability. There was no way to find that easily, so I created a tool which will do most of the work for the user. Example output: The following PCI devices support a USB debug port (says lspci): 0000:00:1d.7 The following PCI devices support a USB debug port (says the kernel): 0000:00:1d.7 PCI device 0000:00:1d.7, USB bus 3, USB physical port 1 Currently connected high-speed devices: /: Bus 03.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ehci_hcd/6p, 480M |__ Port 2: Dev 20, If 0, Class=stor., Driver=usb-storage, 480M The output can be improved, but it's a good start.

#131: New flashrom motherboard support

#131: New flashrom motherboard support ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: anonymous | Owner: somebody Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: trivial | Milestone: Going mainstream Component: flashrom | Version: v2 Keywords: flashrom asus | Dependencies: Patchstatus: there is no patch | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Did not know where I should put this but the bugtracker seemed like the right place. I tried flashrom and it could not detect my chip on my ASUS P5ND2-SLI Deluxe motherboard. The board has a SST49LF004B flash chip and after enforcing the right chip flashrom seems to work fine. {{{ # ./flashrom -V -f -r -c SST49LF004A/B test Calibrating delay loop... 796M loops per second, 100 myus = 201 us. OK. No coreboot table found. WARNING: No chipset found. Flash detection will most likely fail. Probing for SST SST49LF004A/B, 512 KB: probe_jedec: id1 0x21, id2 0x5e, id1 parity violation No EEPROM/flash device found. Force read (-f -r -c) requested, forcing chip probe success: Probing for SST SST49LF004A/B, 512 KB: Found chip "SST SST49LF004A/B" (512 KB) at physical address 0xfff80000. Force reading flash... done. }}} This should probably apply to the P5ND-SLI board, too. What do you need from me for adding autodetection of this board/chip? -- Ticket URL: <http://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/coreboot/ticket/131> coreboot <http://www.coreboot.org/>

#135: Flashrom deletes MAC addresses on Tyan Tomcat n3400B (S2925-E) ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: Jan@… | Owner: somebody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: flashrom | Version: v2 Keywords: | Dependencies: Patchstatus: there is no patch | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ I've tried updating the BIOS of a Tomcat n3400B (S2925-E). The update itself worked fine, but the MAC addresses of the onboard NVidia-Gigabit Ethernet chips were set to bogus values (66:55:44:33:22:11 or something like that) afterwards. Restoring the old flash backup worked. This does not happen with the official update tool from Tyan. -- Ticket URL: <http://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/coreboot/ticket/135> coreboot <http://www.coreboot.org/>

Set top box update
by Gregg Levine 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

Hello! Amazon tells me that there are now two people selling their Akimbo boxes. Perhaps I'll definitely buy one. And Joe here is the linked page which contains a reference to the STB kit from Intel: http://cerberus.teamhackaday.com/?p=3 It turns out that it comes up right below the description for the device. It seems the only thing nonstandard about it is the crappy BIOS that Akimbo insisted on. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8(a)gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

#162: Move SYSTEM_TYPE to Kconfig

#162: Move SYSTEM_TYPE to Kconfig ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: oxygene | Owner: oxygene Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: coreboot | Keywords: Dependencies: | Patchstatus: there is no patch ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- SYSTEM_TYPE is used to tell coreboot if the board is "server", "desktop" or "laptop". It's only used for AMD for now, but could also be used elsewhere to tweak configuration (and there's a flag in some table, maybe ACPI, that tells the OS about the system type, too). It's defined for some boards, there's a default defined somewhere in the code, that looks a lot like a good match for Kconfig. -- Ticket URL: <https://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/coreboot/ticket/162> coreboot <http://www.coreboot.org/>
