[RFT] Lenovo convertible tablets X60t, X201t, X230t

Hello, all. I've uploaded digitizer support for X*t variants. Not tested in current form yet (was developped on Jens Erat's X201T during FOSDEM). Please test: - X60t owners: http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/5113/ - X201t owners: http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/5096 - X230t owners: should work without additional support (USB). Please report test result be it either positive or negative.

Thanks Yes sure. You will need at least those things: 1) serial header connector http://www.ebay.com/itm/DB9-Male-RS232-COM-Port-Serial-Header-Cable-for-Asu… You can take any from some old motherboard. Usually there where two variants of pinout. The newer one fits the most mainboards. You need to plug it to a header on the f2a85-m board. (pin1 to the color stripe on the cable) I think it is called "COM header" in the manual. 2) null modem cross cable The header from 1) needs to be plugged to 2) This cable is very common. It is also called "crossed" cable with female/female 9 pin connector. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Serial-RS232-Null-Modem-Cable-Female-to-Female-DB9-… (female / female) 3) USB to serial cable Either find some other computer which has a serial header (and you will need second header from 1)) or buy this convertor. Most of them use pl2303 or ftdi chip which is well supported under linux. http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-to-RS232-Serial-Port-9-Pin-DB9-Cable-Serial-COM… 4) other computer (any laptop/desktop) Plug in the USB serial with all cables plugged, and use /dev/ttyUSB0 use "minicom" or "hyperterminal" if you use windows. Set it 115200 8N1 (8 byte 1 stop bit no parity) You should see some output of coreboot. Capture it via (ctrl a l shortcut in minicom) to a file and send it back to list. If is something unclear, please let us know. You need to make it up to next Friday. I will be then long time AFK and I will back in March. Thanks Rudolf

Question about status of coreboot on the Samsung XE303CE ARM Chromebook (snow)
by James MacMahon 04 Feb '14

04 Feb '14

Hi everyone, Quick question: what is the status of coreboot + some payload being used with the Samsung XE303CE ARM Chromebook (snow)? The page at [http://www.coreboot.org/Chromebooks] says 'Snow has das U-Boot nativly installed, but a coreboot port is available.', and the page at [http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards] has 'Google Snow - Samsung Exynos 5250' under the 'Motherboards supported in coreboot', but I haven't been able to find any blog / example of anyone actually flashing coreboot + some payload and booting their Chromebook like a regular computer. It seems like there is a port available but no one has tried it from start to finish on the ARM Chromebook (where my definition of finish in this context is 'booting with coreboot to stock Debian Linux', for example). I'm very keen on doing this myself, and was hoping to find some example that I could read through or even follow. This whole process of flashing a new BIOS is very new to me, and I'm wary because of the potential to easily brick my device (however I'm not scared off by reflashing or external chip programming if it comes to it, I'd just like to avoid it). Thanks for your time, James

coreboot port for the ASRock FM2A88M-HD+
by Felix Held 04 Feb '14

04 Feb '14

Hi! I am trying to port the ASRock FM2A88M-HD+ board. Should be a good board for my first coreboot port, since the reference code for the chipset and the datasheet for the superio chip are available. And it's quite inexpensive. I gathered some information and created a wiki page for it: http://www.coreboot.org/Board:asrock/fm2a88m-hd%2B Regards Felix

Please use Git commit hooks

Dear coreboot folks, if you push patches please either check them manually or simply let the Git commit hooks do it for you by running `make gitconfig`. I know they take a lot of time especially when you run them the first time in a session. This will be hopefully improved soon. Thanks, Paul

fixed AMD SPI speed settings (leading to problems on E350M1/USB3)
by Stefan Tauner 03 Feb '14

Hi, andor reported a problem where flashrom does reproducibly not work with coreboot but does with the vendor BIOS http://paste.flashrom.org/view.php?id=1614 Apparently it is related to fast reads and/or the frequency. We have forced the fastReadEnable bit in the SPI_Cntrl0 from 1 to 0 and also set NormSpeed in SPI_Cntrl1 to 16.5 Mhz (previously was 0 i.e. 66 MHz) in flashrom and the problem vanished. Coreboot hard codes the fast read setting in src/southbridge/amd/cimx/sb800/bootblock.c: static void enable_spi_fast_mode(void) { u8 byte; u32 dword; device_t dev = PCI_DEV(0, 0x14, 0x03); // set temp MMIO base volatile u32 *spi_base = (void *)0xa0000000; u32 save = pci_io_read_config32(dev, 0xa0); pci_io_write_config32(dev, 0xa0, (u32) spi_base | 2); // early enable of SPI 33 MHz fast mode read byte = spi_base[3]; spi_base[3] = (byte & ~(3 << 14)) | (1 << 14); spi_base[0] = spi_base[0] | (1 << 18); // fast read enable pci_io_write_config32(dev, 0xa0, save); } Marc suggested that this should be configurable in the devicetree or by a kconfig setting. Also, the statements using "byte" do not make a lot of sense to me. Shouldn't that be a u32 instead? The public documentation of the fastReadEnable is lacking any detail and I don't have access to the NDAed version of the RRG. Is my theory correct that the controller uses the 0x0B opcode with a fixed frequency (33 MHz?) instead of 0x03 with the frequency set by NormSpeed? -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner
