TALOS project short of funding goals - where to now?
by Taiidan＠gmx.com 14 Dec '16

14 Dec '16

I am incredibly sad that TALOS has not gotten the required cash flow, short of a miracle in the next few days. The coreboot project is pretty much dead in the water without it, the only real choices for further development are either super low power crappy ARM devices or always going to be expensive IBM/TYAN POWER servers, so what do we do? I am wondering, how come they didn't bark up some government or corporate trees for TALOS funding? AFIAK there are various government agencies interested in secure hardware and assured computing; I have always wondered what the NSA uses for their own computing needs, maybe they paid intel for firmware source code and a system that doesn't need ME to run. The way things are going: +10 years - Microsoft and Intel have announced the "PrivaSec" initiative, aimed at producing a secure vertically intergrated computing platform where firmware agents prohibit the execution of unapproved programs - protecting your data from unauthorized access. +20 years - We're sorry, but the GlobeX Trade Agreement and the Secure Communities act of 2035 prohibit the viewing, copying or transmission of this file - Further violations may result in fine, arrest and or the revocation of your work permit and internet operators license. Thoughts: It seems that so many linux people just don't really care about libre anything, considering that the average linux sysadmin makes over $100K per year the community could have easily funded the project. These days there are a lot more people with skills, but without the computer enthusiast/hacker culture of the 90's, the kind of hypocritical people who use a macbook, facebook, etc but who chide me for saying that working for the government is not at all immoral. If I wasn't unemployed I would happily pay $5K for a high performance libre computer, but not everyone is me. People went nuts for the faux libre purism laptop but talos gets hardly any comparative publicity/hype - why? - "We'll get intel to open up ME one day, we promise!"

Hi Aaron, Yes, I am mapping the memory where coreboot.rom is loaded to upper 4GiB. I create a fixed shadow page table entry for reset vector. Coreboot doesn't have a linked address of RIP that I shared. I think with the increase in size of coreboot (from the previous tag I was using) the load address (guest physical) has changed. I used to calculate the load address manually. I will check this and get back. Thanks.

Disassembly of coreboot binaries

Hi, I am working on a hypvervisor and am using coreboot + FILO as guest BIOS. While things were fine a while back, it has stopped working.

LGA775 board donation
by Kyösti Mälkki 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

Hi Cleaning out shelves, and before I trash these two LGA-775 boards I am offering them for price of shipping if someone wants to start poking on coreboot: Commell LV-672 - boots OS - i915, local tree from 2013 has raminit (for the pair of DIMMs installed) - ICH6, FWH flash on PLCC32 socket Asus P5KPL-VM - gets into romstage with serial console - i946, we have no raminit - ICH7, SPI on DIP8 socket - board schematic available for later rev of board Got IO-backplates, CPUs and some DDR2 too.
