Compiling coreboot with libgfxinit
by Mihail Tommonen 24 Jan '17

24 Jan '17

Hello Everyone, My intention is to get libgfxinit to work with Lenovo X230, but first I'm trying to get it compiled for KONTRON KTQM77 as its seems to be only board atm that has feature enabled in configs. Unfortunately I get a tons of "hw-time.ads:23:07: "Volatile_Function" is not a valid aspect identifier" errors [1] while compling. Because I do not have any experience with ada I'm not sure what to blame: my toolchain or the code. What I did so far [2] and config file [3]. Does anyone have any clue what is the problem? Thanks, Mihail Tommonen [1]http://paste.debian.net/910254/ [2]http://paste.debian.net/910264/ [3]http://paste.debian.net/910257/

Re: [coreboot] Coreboot binary for ASUS F2A85-M

Hi Maxim, Try this: Remove all of the memory in the board except for one DIMM in the slot furthest away from the processor. AGESA on this chip has a requirement (that some vendors apparently worked around) that DIMMs be populated from the furthest slot to the closest. It looks like the code to route Port 80h to PCI isn't in that chipset. That's something we should check before giving that option. As was mentioned by Daniel, you don't need (or want) the external card's VBIOS built into the rom. If you're using SeaBIOS, it will read the vbios directly from the card. If these steps don't help, I'll work with you to get a rom that boots for you.

KGPE-D16 SR-IOV problems (iommu groups) - Anyone else tried this?
by Taiidan＠gmx.com 23 Jan '17

23 Jan '17

Assigning regular devices such as a graphics card to a VM works just fine, but when I try to assign an intel i350 virtual function I receive the error "error: internal error: Invalid device 0000:07:10.0 iommu_group file /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:07:10.0/iommu_group is not a symlink" The PF's are split in to seperate IOMMU groups like every other pci-e device but for some while the VF's appear in lspci they aren't placed in IOMMU groups at all not even in the ones that the PF's are in. Weird. Note: PCI-e root ports all report ACS support and so does the NIC and I am using the /etc/modprobe.d/blahblah.conf max_vfs option to enable SR-IOV. Help from intel is blood from a stone, so I am wondering if anyone else has this successfully working? (I just bought a null modem cable and I now have free time to supply whichever logs are needed)

Thank you for advise about pc speaker console! I will try it today. I am using CH341A programmer and its soft of 1.18 version. Also i am using the original WINBOND W25Q64BV 8mb chip.

Re: [coreboot] Quad core CPU overheat?
by Daniel Kulesz 23 Jan '17

23 Jan '17

Hi Pok, what I would suggest is to actually read out the temperatures (e.g. using "lm-sensors" in Linux) and use something even more stressing than crossgcc (like "stress-ng" in Linux). Normally, when the CPU gets hot it should "just" clock down and only issue this emergency powerdown in case when the temperatures exceed "extreme" limits (like 100 or 105°C, but depends on the CPU). Once you know what temperatures your T420 gets, you should be able to find out if this is a thermal issue (defective fan, defective heatsink, wrong installation, bad thermal paste...) or actually something Corebook-related. Another indicator could be the readout of temperatures and fan speeds while the system is idle. According to some people in the german thinkpad-forum.de, temperatures in idle should be around 44°C with the fan being off and around 87°C when stressing the system for 30 minutes with prime95: https://thinkpad-forum.de/threads/170582-Erfahrungsberichte-Quadcore-im-T42… Please compare these measures with your system. It seems like it's possible to mod the fan of the T430 to work in the T420 in order to get even better temperatures. Cheers, Daniel

Yes. So I want to to get the signal from this solder pad and see on the oscilloscope that everything works. Please who have the ASUS F2A85-M tell me the package marking of the serial port PHY (I want to find a datasheet). Who uses this mainboard, please send me a working binary file... Let the video I don't get, but I want to at least see post codes. However, here the VGAbios of the card that I use: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/?architecture=&manufacturer=Asus&model=… No one is works in my configuration:( The CPU is AMD Athlon X2 340. But I think it shouldn't be so difficult. On the coreboot website the board is listed as supported. Here is my config file: http://pastebin.com/RVLcGku8 I think I'm doing something wrong.

Hey, I have this problem even on my W530 and W541 systems with the vendor BIOS, so I don't think this is really coreboot related. I've taken two steps to fix it : 1) I use thinkfan to max out the fan speed early and keep it there longer. 2) I limit the processor speed to its maximum normal speed with cpufreq-set. These two steps have fixed my problem. Just adjusting the fan speed didn't do it for me - I still got thermal shutdowns. Hope this helps.
