Does this mean we can start writing our userland tools in golang?

Did you just kill any discussion with that line? :)
Things live currently in a small library that I called `libsparkhw`
(came spontaneously, I don't care much about the name). It contains
some framework (Timer, I/O, Debugging) to do hardware stuff in SPARK,
plus the mentioned graphics initialization. I falter to push it directly
for inclusion into the coreboot repo. Maybe we want a separate reposi-
tory for it (like libpayload has)? It would also make it easier to use
it in other components (e.g. bootloaders and such, and of course our own
products where the code stems from).
We have discussed the licensing and will push this under GPLv2 + later
if there are no reasonable concerns.

ectool misusage in autoport
by Iru Cai
Hi,
I'm trying to use autoport to port coreboot to a machine. However, when I
look at the logs generated by:
./autoport --input_log=logs --make_logs --coreboot_dir=../..
I saw in logs/ectool.log:
../ectool/ectool: invalid option -- 'a'
usage: ../ectool/ectool [-vh?Vidq] [-w 0x<addr> -z 0x<data>]
So the autoport program doesn't make use of ectool, and it needs some
fixing.

Thanks for that, Aaron. I don't know C but I'll try to figure out how to
do that, and then maybe ask about increasing ELOG size beyond 4 digits
once I have something working.

Yes. Me and terminology don't get on though I try. ;)
What I would be thinking of doing is using this as a poor-man's debug -
reading the ROM containing ELOG using an external programmer and using a
hex editor to view it (if that's possible).
Thanks again.

cbmem in ELOG
by John Lewis
Hi Guys,
This may be a daft question technically, but is there some way event
logging could be subverted to store cbmem output?

Swapping Ctrl and Fn on X200
by Danny Milosavljevic
Hi,
I'm trying to swap Ctrl and Fn keys on the X200 (with libreboot).
For this I made sure that nvram is not wiped on reboot, then set
fn_ctrl_swap = Enable
using nvramtool.
This doesn't swap Fn and Ctrl for some reason. For comparison, as soon
as I change "trackpoint = Enable" to "trackpoint = Disable", the
trackpoint stops working - so I know that the nvram is not completely
ignored.
So next I found
http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/fn-ctrl-swap-on-all-lenovo-laptop...
, unpacked it and compared it to Lenovo's original. The changes are in:
"6DET64WW/$01B9000.FL2" (47 Byte differ, starting at decimal offset
2713050 but not a continuous range - the last change is right before
decimal offset 2818048),
"7XET64WW/$01B9100.FL2" (47 Byte differ, starting at decimal offset
2713050 but not a continuous range - the last change is right before
decimal offset 2818048).
If I want to both use libreboot and swap Fn and Ctrl (so Ctrl is to
the left), how do I get these changes into it?
With kind regards,
Danny
