AsRock E350M1 report
by openvoid 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

Hello everyone. I get E350M1 motherboard and want to report some things i tested. This can be especially interesting to Paul Menzel and some others, who i see adding patches related to this motherboard few last months. Most information is available on http://www.coreboot.org/ASRock_E350M1 so i post only difference with my experience. Wiki update: PS/2 Keyboard - NOT working - with init_ps2_keyboard option it blinks during post but still not working in OS PS/2 Mouse - NOT working Regressions: Ethernet - NOT working POST time 5-10 secounds instead of 1-3 I cannot surely say after which commit regressions occur. I was using gcb891de as latest and ec6f043 as old surely working (most close to latest progressive changes on wiki page). Also want to add i was unable to get valid vgabios.bin using instructions at http://www.coreboot.org/VGA_support, nor by ./bios_extract nor by script from Peter Stuge. So removed link to vgabios on wiki page allowed me to successfully build. Thanks, all!

how long should the workshop be
by ron minnich 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

we're slowly iterating toward the dates for the workshop. It is most likely going to start on the weekend and use part or all of Monday. We need to resolve two more things: location and duration. Now the duration can be 1 day, 1.5 days, or 2 days. I think 2.5 days may be too long; am I wrong? Please get back to me with some kind of preference. As to location, I plan to use a hotel conference room. I've kind of given up on the linuxtag site, because the average response time of linuxtag personnel seems to be 2+ weeks to any question we send, and it's just gotten impossible to work with them. If someone can recommend a hotel with good conference rooms that would help. ron

You are expected to start initial work in may-june and while that is somewhat possible, real work is supposed to start in june-july. You are expected to work upto 40 hours per week on your project. However june-july is when most universities have their end term examinations. Those require easily 60+ hours per week to finish/study for. GSoC basically expects you to spend around 100 Hours in 2 1/2 months on your project starting from may. Be very weary of this when a lotting your time. > >> That would be good, please [..] each case.) > The broken links I encountered were external links, so I don't think > it can be fixed permanently.

GSOC- coreboot ports for mainboards , project idea
by Iurie 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

hello, i have remained very entusiasmated with corebot organization, i have been present in the irc chat room and have seen that the people there is very friendly. well, i have never programmed nothing regarding bootloaders nor payloads or something related and i would like to begin my integration durring this summer . i think that the easiest project as an introduction will be the : coreboot ports for mainboards there must be plenty of people that have already done simmilar project and i think that i will get some help from many people. furthermore, i have seen that in order to make the support for a new mboard i need several harware to suport the port, they are listed here: http://www.coreboot.org/Developer_Manual/Tools i dont want to buy the additional hardware so i would like to know if some of you(or if u know somebody that could do that) would like to borrow me some hardware(if possible the complete list of the hardware). i can provide a bail to the person that will borrow me that hardware and if i damage something that person will be able to buy a new hardware to substitute. i also can buy all the transportation costs (to receive and send back all the material). i am from Lisbon--> Portugal i thank you in advance for the answer best regards

Some chromebook people will be in berlin, and we' like to have a get together, both to have a few talks and do a lot of hacking. We're tagging it on to the end of linuxtag. What days work for you? Let us know at http://www.doodle.com/p4ea9wz3bg96dveh#table We're figuring on 1.5 or 2 days at most. But first let's see what times work for people. ron

This is a best-case, not a worst-case, requirement. This merely means that you must be able to use git and push commits into Gerrit and have written useful commit messages and not have millions of unrelated whitespace changes in a coherent single-logical-change-in-every-commit manner. > But both issues are hopefully resolved in 2014. The above takes minutes to master, not years. > PS: I've discovered a few broken links throughout the Coreboot wiki. > Maybe I can start participating by fixing them? :-) That would be good, please email Stefan Reinauer to get an account, but first, what are the links and more importantly why have they broken? I would like it if we can somehoew move away from links that may break again in the future, and reference what should be essentially same information in a different more reliable way. (Sometimes this isn't possible, and we have to live with broken links, but it needs to be looked at for each case.) //Peter
