Re: [coreboot] x230 - vgabios

Hi, do the following: 0) Get the PCI ID via lspci -vnn of the Intel Graphics Device. 1) Get the UEFITool https://github.com/LongSoft/UEFITool 2) Extract with the flashrom ich_descriptor_tool your UEFI Firmware (BIOS). -> ich_descriptor_tool -f bios.bin -d 3) Open the UEFI Image with the UEFITool go under search -> text and disable UTF-8 support. 4) Enter for intel graphic devices "VGA Compatible BIOS" and you will find one more matching entries by scrolling down the log. For Nvidia use "VGA Compatible". 5) Extract all entries with "Extract body". Correct Oproms should have for Intel around 65k size. If it's only one entry then you can stop here and use it as vgabios. 6) Get rom-parser https://github.com/awilliam/rom-parser and run it on the files. You will get printed some infos including the pci id. If the id matches with your graphics device use the it as vgabios.

x230 - vgabios
by Michael Gerlach 22 May '15

Greetings, i am trying to get coreboot running on x230 and have some trouble regarding the execution of the vga option rom. As far as i understand seabios should load all option roms existing in cbfs, but it won't. Only if i set CONFIG_VGA_ROM_RUN=y vga option rom gets loaded but whether coreboot nor seabios output is displayed. Only a blinking cursor idles until boot continues. coreboot.rom: 12288 kB, bootblocksize 1936, romsize 12582912, offset 0xb00000 alignment: 64 bytes, architecture: x86 Name Offset Type Size cmos.default 0xb00000 cmos_default 256 cmos_layout.bin 0xb00140 cmos_layout 1984 pci8086,0166.rom 0xb00940 optionrom 65536 cpu_microcode_blob.bin 0xb10980 microcode 22528 config 0xb16200 raw 5457 revision 0xb17780 raw 570 (empty) 0xb17a00 null 34136 fallback/romstage 0xb1ff80 stage 73116 fallback/ramstage 0xb31d80 stage 74814 fallback/payload 0xb44200 payload 55077 pci8086,1502.rom 0xb51980 raw 61952 bootsplash.jpg 0xb60bc0 raw 59966 (empty) 0xb6f640 null 461144 mrc.cache 0xbdffc0 mrc_cache 65536 (empty) 0xbf0000 null 63512 Any idea what is going wrong here?

Please note that the coreboot T-Shirt I am wearing is black, with the logo being a white plastic foil melted/glued to the t-shirt. Could you ask your contact whether such a variant would be possible as well? The foil variant is extremely durable and IMHO a black T-Shirt fits a bit better with all the other hacker culture T-Shirts. > I need to know who wants one and sizes by June 5th.

A contact of mine proposes to print coreboot T-shirts for the community. Black printing on white T-shirt. Expected price is 30€-35€ + shipping from CH or DE, double-sided printing, one-sided is 5-8€ less. It will be printed in Russia. I need to know who wants one and sizes by June 5th. For payment I accept paypal and bank wiring. It will be available in ~August. Do we have some kind of dev meeting in autumn where I could bring them? @carldani: could you give me the file used for printing?
