Support for a 2004 HP Workstation
by Giancarlo A Jones 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

Hi corebooters Just joined the list. I have a Pentium 4 HP workstation (xw6200) with which the urge to tinker is strong. https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00215315. There is no webpage for the motherboard but there is a service manual. http://jp.ext.hp.com/lib/doc/manual/workstation/hp_workstation/c00213035.pdf I want to swap out the vendor bios for SeaBIOS purely out of the need to tinker. Here's the quick and dirty list of chips: *Motherboard: HP 08B8h *512kb SST49LF004A/B EEPROM *Intel ICH5/ICH5R I/O Controller *Intel E7525 Memory Controller *SMSC LPC47B397 Super I/O The dump of the commands suggested is below. I notice that everything but the memory controller seems to be supported by coreboot. Is there any plan to support this board? If not any guidance on slapping something together that might work?

Do you support PCI devices onboard the mobo: MSI/NEC MS-7168 for FreeBSD OS?
by Zoran Stojsavljevic 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

Hello Martin and Michal (since your support/expertise is required/crucial here), This mobo (owned by Vincenzo) is too old. I took the freedom to attach imported picture, so people can see better. [image: Inline image 1] BIOS is legacy, from 06/2009. It has PCI devices, and it seems that few of them share IRQ5 (no idea how many interrupts this board supports, seems only 8)?! In order to understand if PCI devices on MSI/NEC MS-7168 mobo are supported, I was able to google interesting site: http://code.metager.de/source/xref/freebsd/share/misc/pci_vendors So, let us ask the question to the maintainers of this site, if the mobo: MSI/NEC MS-7168 is FreeBSD supported for PCI devices onboard, shown here? Martin and Michal, Could you, please, answer us: do you support PCI devices on-board the mobo: MSI/NEC MS-7168 for FreeBSD OS?

chip identifier in ifd
by Christoph Pomaska 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

Hi, did anyone ever try to modify the ifd regarding the chip identifiers? I recently had to replace a chip on a sandybridge device because the old one lost a leg, so it's not usable anymore. Problem is that I wasn't able yet to revive the device that is in an error state. Also changing the identifier in binary didn't help. Is there a checksum to these values or something similar? Best regards Christoph Pomaska

Your me_cleaner experiences/anomalies
by Hal Martin 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

Hi all, I know me_cleaner is not directly related to coreboot, but I think that coreboot users are among the most common people to use me_cleaner. I have run me_cleaner on an Ivy Bridge platform firmware. In both the original vendor firmware and coreboot, cleaning the ME causes all chipset SATA ports to stop functioning. After me_cleaner, SATA ports are inoperable not only within the pre-boot environment but also in Linux. Connecting a SATA device results in continuous link errors/resets and all SATA devices are not usable. If anyone has experienced hardware of Sandy/Ivy Bridge generation not functioning correctly after running me_cleaner, I'd appreciate hearing your experiences! *** coreboot output: PCH type: HM76, device id: 1e59, rev id 4 Intel ME early init Intel ME firmware is ready ME: Requested 32MB UMA Starting native Platform init ...(snip) Done MRS commands t123: 1767, 6000, 7620 ME: FW Partition Table : OK ME: Bringup Loader Failure : NO ME: Firmware Init Complete : NO ME: Manufacturing Mode : YES ME: Boot Options Present : NO ME: Update In Progress : NO ME: Current Working State : Recovery ME: Current Operation State : Bring up ME: Current Operation Mode : Normal ME: Error Code : Debug Failure ME: Progress Phase : BUP Phase ME: Power Management Event : Pseudo-global reset ME: Progress Phase State : 0x42 ME: HFS error : 4 ME: FWS2: 0x1642017a ME: Bist in progress: 0x0 ME: ICC Status : 0x1 ME: Invoke MEBx : 0x1 ME: CPU replaced : 0x1 ME: MBP ready : 0x1 ME: MFS failure : 0x1 ME: Warm reset req : 0x0 ME: CPU repl valid : 0x1 ME: (Reserved) : 0x0 ME: FW update req : 0x0 ME: (Reserved) : 0x0 ME: Current state : 0x42 ME: Current PM event: 0x6 ME: Progress code : 0x1 Full training required PASSED!

R: freebsd
by Vincenzo Di Salvo 06 Dec '17

Hello guys, It is a pleasure for me to see that you also appreciate the architecture of the freebsd operating system. Yes Enrico, Tribunale di Lecce is the Italian Court of the City of Lecce. Zoran asks me what my goal is. Really difficult to explain in two words. I try. I apologize with coreboot community if the question is not stricly pertinent to coreboot. It will be in a future email. BACKGROUND. My goal is to make raw images of memory devices like USB sticks and SATA hard drives. The images must be connected avoiding to modify the content of the original devices, in particular the timestamps of the files contained in them, which, as it's known, are filesystem dependent. If I'm not mistaken, when I connect a USB stick or a SATA hard disk to a computer with a Freebsd operating system, the Freebsd recognizes the device at physical level, it creates a node in the / dev directory, but does not bother to understand what it is, that is, for him it is a raw device, so it does not perform dangerous operations like autorun and automount. It seems to me that in Unix this is the meaning of a character device. If this is true, the original device is protected and you can proceed to cloning using the dd command. QUESTIONS AND YOUR TIPS AND CORRECTIONS: 1- What actually happens when you plug in to USB device (you can suggest me a bibliograph to read) 2 - Is there a Unix command that logs in real-time the whole flux, from the physical plugging action of the device to the /dev node creation ? 3 - Verify that the creation of the /dev node only implies that the device is recognized as raw and the O.S. will not be able to access its memory (condition of device write blocked). See you !! Best Regards. Vincenzo.

Re: [coreboot] Blank screen during boot and max CPU fan speed for ASUS KGPE-D16

Thanks for the suggestion about the RAM Zoran. Tried it out in the following configurations for 2x CPU setup as per the ASUS documentation but with no luck: - 8x 4 GB = 32 GB @ A2, B2, C2, D2, E2, F2, G2, H2 - 6x 4 GB = 24 GB @ A2, B2, C2, E2, F2, G2 - 4x 4 GB = 16 GB @ A2, C2, E2, G2 - 2x 4 GB = 8 GB @ A2, E2 Additionally, I find that my keyboard does not work in my SSD instance of GRUB (I have the default SeaBIOS on the coreboot BIOS chip) however after GRUB launches Debian, everything works fine. Since coreboot is able to boot to my SSD, could it even be a RAM issue? I'd assume if there was an issue with the RAM the BIOS just wouldn't be able to proceed. ________________________________ From: Zoran Stojsavljevic <zoran.stojsavljevic(a)gmail.com> Sent: 05 December 2017 02:46 To: Daniel K Cc: coreboot(a)coreboot.org Subject: Re: [coreboot] Blank screen during boot and max CPU fan speed for ASUS KGPE-D16 > - Memory: 16x 4 GB = 64 GB Corsair DDR3-1600 SDRAM (CMZ32GX3M8X1600C9) I will try shot in the dark, since I have no idea about AMD architecture.

About 5-10 seconds in, my CPU fans start blowing at what appears to be maximum speed. After another 5-15 seconds, I see my Debian login screen and am able to use my computer normally. However the loud fans put me on edge and I end up turning the PC off after a while. At subsequent boots, the fans start up at maximum speed right away. Swapping back to my vendor BIOS brings the fans back to normal. Could this be microcode related? Same happens for both my onboard graphics as well as my PCIe GPU.

Additional notes: - Also tried the latest KGPE-D16 Libreboot image but I only get a permanent black screen with that. - Disconnected the ASMB4/KVM module. - Don't think I have LRDIMM RAM because I'm able to boot into Debian.

Thanks for the info about the fans Tim, Zoran, and Taiidan.

The full speed fan is normal. These are server boards and coreboot purposefully sets the fans to full speed until the OS boots and can take over fan control duties via 'fancontrol' [1] or a similar application. Note that the 'w83795' kernel module is required for this to work. Alternatively, you can install a reflashed iKVM module with the beta version of the OpenBMC port for this board [2]. This is somewhat more complex, but if you have all of the fan connectors plugged in the BMC can handle fan control independently from the host CPU. If you have only a handful of fans, or very slow fans, connected, then you would need to modify the OpenBMC source and rebuild, since OpenBMC has no way of determining whether uninstalled / slow fans are disconnected or failed.
