Re: [coreboot] No VGA output on e350m1 after flashing. what to do?

by Reiner Luett

Hi! On 30.06.2013 19:28, Christian Weinz wrote: > Maybe I didn't include the VGA option in the make menuconfig process. > How can I solve this problem? You need to add the VGA Option ROM (VGA BIOS -> Add VGA BIOS image). I've extracted it from the UEFI, but you also could use these: http://www.coreboot.org/index.php?title=ASRock_E350M1&oldid=11114 at the end of the page or you also may be able to use the default AMD fam14 (Persimmon) vbios. You will need to agree to the click through: http://wwwd.amd.com/support/vbioslic.nsf/userverify?openform http://www.coreboot.org/AMD_DB-FT1_PERSIMMON It's a pity, that bios_extract didn't work for now. You could use the AMI Aptio EFI MMTool with wine: http://win-lite.de/benutzer/fernando/BIOS-Tools/AMI_Aptio_EFI_MMTool_v4.50.… You need to extract OntarioEFIVbios with PCI ID 1002,9802 as Option ROM.

ASUS KCMA-D8 workstation board port offer

by Timothy Pearson

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All, After reviewing some of the comments on the ASUS KGPE-D16 being essentially too large of a system and too expensive for many people, and the fact that modern, blob-free systems are not really available in the mid-range arena, Raptor Engineering would like to offer to create a native initalization blob-free port for the ASUS KCMA-D8, which is essentially the KGPE-D16's ATX-compatible "little brother". We would be asking $15,000 for the port, including upstreaming to the master coreboot tree. We already have extensive experience with these Family 10h/15h boards, and would be able to create a port of similar quality to the existing KGPE-D16 source in terms of both code quality and overall functionality. If this is something you might be interested in please let me know. We are able to accept multiple payments from various sources for the same project (within limits), so if this is something your local Linux groups or similar might be interested in we should be able to keep the cost on any one individual or organization to a reasonable level.

Re: [coreboot] F2A-85M: Different VGA BIOS needed after CPU Upgrade?

Hi John, > It sounds to me as though the PCI id's of the graphics card for the > upgraded CPU may be different (I could be totally wrong about that, so I > defer to others on the list if I'm barking up the wrong tree) and your > coreboot image may need to be updated accordingly. Of course, it could > also be the video BIOS that's the problem as you've suggested. Thank you for the hint. I inspected that, but the PCI-IDs actually look the same: 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Trinity [Radeon HD 7480D] [1002:9993] (A4-5300) and 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Richland [Radeon HD 8670D] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) (A10-6700) Looks like the VGA BIOS is really different: # diff vgabios_a4-5300.bin vgabios_a10_6700.bin Binary files vgabios_a4-5300.bin and vgabios_a10_6700.bin differ Guess I will have to to "update" the VGA BIOS then.

The board had Coreboot installed before with the VGA BIOS extracted from the A4-5300. However, I did not get any video output when trying to boot after the upgrade, so I replaced the flash chip with a backup with the vendor BIOS that works. > > > > Is it likely that the A10-6700 needs a different VGA BIOS or does this this rather look like a different issue?

Porting coreboot on ASUS M5A78L-M LX3

by Алексей Боровиков

Hi! I need help to porting coreboot Asus M4a785m on Asus M5a78l-m lx3. I'm trying to porting coreboot on the motherboard Asus M5a78l-m lx3 (rs780l/sb710). I cannot find documentation for the northbridge rs780l. My configuration: cpu - Athlon 2 x2 220 (K10), memory - 2 + 2 Gb DDR3, video - Asus GT520, sata segate hdd 500Gb, sata asus dvd-rw. I have a positive result for the configuration with memory 2Gb and external video card Asus GT520. I can load Linux kernel 2.6. But, i have two problems: 1. I cannot load coreboot with internal graphics card (hd 3000). Coreboot stops loading and to print on console "Calling option ROM…". May be the problems with gfx configuration? 2. I cannot run Linux with memory 4Gb. Coreboot is loading, SeaBios is loading too, but Linux stop load on usb3-2 and ata1 setup. May be the problems with memory map? Please, help me. I can provide all the necessary information from the log coreboot, SeaBios and Linux. Thanks.

Re: [coreboot] w83627 uart port is not workable with coreboot in linux

Can you confirm that you see the full coreboot log on your UART? With log level >= debug, it should end with lines about loading the payload, containing a line starting with "Jumping to boot code at". If you see this line, it's unlikely to be a coreboot issue. If not, please provide a full log with highest log level. Also the output of `lspci -xxx`, `cbmem -c` and your devicetree.cb might be helpful. Another way to test the UART is to use Linux' earlycon driver, e.g. with earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,115200n8 in your kernel command line. This driver is simpler than the serial8250 (it doesn't use interrupts and is closer to what coreboot's driver does).

Re: [coreboot] re-enabling boot for ChromeOS

by Matt DeVillier

Julius, wouldn't he also need gbb_utility to set the flags, in addition to (CrOS) flashrom to be able to read/write just the GBB region? That's why I suggested he use my ChromeOS Firmware Utility Script, since it would automatically download the required binaries as well as ensure the flags were set to a sane value. But as you, no need to change the flags as set to boot ChromeOS cheers, Matt On 7/20/2016 5:56 PM, Julius Werner wrote: > set_gbb_flags.sh is just a bash script and will run on any system that > has flashrom installed (which it calls). > > With the 0x489 flags you should still see the Chrome OS firmware > screen ("OS verification is turned off") for 2 seconds on boot.

After reading the other threads and talking with Martin, it indeed seems to be a toolchain issue. However, the new toolchain had many advantages over the previous one, and the code was not in (our) ARM TF at the time we uprevved. The maintenance burden of keeping different versions of toolchains supported for different architectures as part of the reference toolchain is imho almost always significantly higher than actually fixing the issues. (Especially if they are not time critical) Martin produced a binutils fix for the issue. Whether the binutils people will find it to be the "right" fix is still to be found out, but it seems to allow compiling the latest, unmodified ARM TF. Stefan

MMIO UART driver on OS

by Zheng Bao

Hi, All, I want to add support MMIO UART support on OS. I checked the file pnp_uart.asl. For IO UART, a device with EisaId("PNP0501") is added into DSDT, the windows can detect the COM port in device manager. I am wondering if MMIO UART also have that convinient feature. Or I need to build a driver for each OS? Thanks. Joe
