Re: [coreboot] Coreboot + Depthcharge

Hello Mark, 1. You can skip this step in your instructions. Instead, when running make menuconfig, look in Chipset / ChromeOS and select "Build for ChromeOS". This should cause Depthcharge to appear as a payload option. You can find the reason for this is in depthcharge/Kconfig.name. The "depends on" statement keeps it from being visible until the CHROMEOS condition is met. 2. I would probably keep this step, although I don't know veyron/speedy. You'll see one of the options under Depthcharge, "Use default libpayload config". That may move the build along, but I doubt it has the options you'll need as it works for x86.

Any bare metal program can be used as payload. Thus, Depthcharge indeed *is* a possible payload, it is just not mentioned in Kconfig. It was maybe a mistake to offer this automation near the choice of payload, creating an impression that a few payloads are somehow better than others. > 2.

If I clone `payloads/libpayload/configs/config.veyron` > then it works perfectly. It would be good to know why this happens. Is config.veyron used elsewhere? Is there both a veyron and a veyron_speedy board? Was the board renamed in coreboot but this file (in libpayload) overlooked? > I'm almost certain my "fixes" aren't actually fixes, and I'm just > doing something wrong, if you could correct me I'd be so grateful. The second part with the board name looks like a bug, but I don't know what the appropriate fix is. That requires studying coreboot and libpayload repos a bit before creating a patch. If you want, you can of course also push a patch to Gerrit to add Depthcharge to the list of payloads. //Peter

Hi all, Later I noticed that it is reported from #coreboot that linux needs "acpi=noirq" to boot properly 在 2018年03月01日 18:08, Persmule 写道: > > Hi Heymans, > > Today I performed a test on my x230, which shows that commit > d2d2aef6a3222af909183fb96dc7bc908fac3cd4 ( > https://review.coreboot.org/23287 ) renders keyboard unable to operate > under Heads, too.
