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.

EHCI debug port finder
by Carl-Daniel Hailfinger
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.
Regards,
Carl-Daniel

#131: New flashrom motherboard support
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: anonymous | Owner: somebody

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:

KB) at physical address 0xfff80000.

}}}
This should probably apply to the P5ND-SLI board, too.
What do you need from me for adding autodetection of this board/chip?

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.

Set top box update
by Gregg Levine
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.

flaschip (and compatibles)
by Oliver Schinagl
Hey list,
I want (in the far? future) play with coreboot on my new board, an Asus
M5A97 (900 series amd chipset) thing. Having it not even build into my
case yet, I was wondering if you guys know what a compatible flash chip
is. I have an 8 legged little socketable chip on here, with the
following markings:
MXIC
b111376-12G
MX25L3206EPI
3F204500
So far I found the best results from google with the MX25L3206EPI
labeling but the few links I got where mostly in chinese and the
datasheet links where the 'pay' kind.
Any pointers what I can ask for when I go to my local hardware store so
I can order 3 or 4? Shouldn't be too expensive right? Anything in
NL/BE/DE I suppose would work best :)
