Fortunately I've been using a piggy-backed ROM so if/when it all goes kaput I just pull the LPC module. VGA isn't even a major problem for the product I'm working on, but I really can't understand how such an otherwise awesome chipset has missed out of VGA :S Thanks anyway Benjamin.

Coreboot on AMD Geode; No VGA
by Andrew Bolster 12 Jul '11

12 Jul '11

I only started looking into coreboot yesterday, so forgive the incoming naivety. Can anyone point me in the direction of how to set up coreboot + seabios so that it actually uses the VGA? I've got the system up and running and talking to me over the OS's services fine, so all is working except for the VGA. I've tried the rational combinations of enabling and disabling the option roms, but I assume that I need a vgabios.bin? This board is a PC Engines ALIX3D3 (http://www.pcengines.ch/alix3d3.htm), and I can't seem to find any information on how to go about fixing the geode vga output. Any help would be great.

Patch merged into master: 5f1cfd8 Do full flush on uart8250 only at end of printk.
by gerrit＠coreboot.org 12 Jul '11

12 Jul '11

the following patch was just integrated into master: commit 5f1cfd8ee9d400f20a5aa30eb50b9afb5e2694db Author: Kevin O'Connor <kevin(a)koconnor.net> Date: Sat Jul 9 20:22:21 2011 -0400 Do full flush on uart8250 only at end of printk. The previous code does a full flush of the uart after every character. Unfortunately, this can cause transmission delays on some serial ports. This patch changes the code so that it does a flush at the end of every printk instead of at the end of every character. This reduces the time it takes to transmit serial messages (up to 9% on my Asrock e350m1 board). It also makes the transmission time more consistent which is important when performing timing tests via serial transmissions.
