Sandybridge-M: Unable to compile board on 4.11 but works in 4.10
by Jose Trujillo 25 Dec '19

25 Dec '19

Happy holidays to all: My project is unable to compile/build on 4.11/master but do well with 4.10. It shows the following error: /home/fw_dev/Program_Files/coreboot/util/crossgcc/xgcc/bin/i386-elf-ld.bfd: build/bootblock/southbridge/intel/bd82x6x/early_pch.o: in function `early_pch_init': /home/fw_dev/Program_Files/coreboot/src/southbridge/intel/bd82x6x/early_pch.c:330: undefined reference to `mainboard_gpio_map' make: *** [src/arch/x86/Makefile.inc:125: build/cbfs/fallback/bootblock.debug] Error 1 Looks like `mainboard_gpio_map' is already defined on: #include <southbridge/intel/common/gpio.h> What can I do to make it build successfully? The build log and project are attached here. I tried to upload the project to gerrit but for some reason failed (maybe needs some cleaning). Thank you, Jose Trujillo.

Hey guys, My wife's school has at least or almost 200 of them, they decided they were shit and put them in the dungeon (storeroom). I'd like to revamp to let the kids use them again? But according to internet people and Reddit the firmware is locked down and can't be unlocked so I can run Linux? Do you know if you can do it? I have machines to test (When I get a charger from ebay)... Cheers, Pavle.

AMD AGESA and binaryPI board removals, last calls
by Kyösti Mälkki 19 Dec '19

19 Dec '19

Hi Regarding the deprecation of AGESA and binaryPI platforms. As of 15th Dec 2019 following boards have been transformed to meet 4.11 release requirements, and most have a fresh board-status uploaded now too: * asrock/e350m1 * asrock/imb-a180 * asus/f2a85-m * gizmosphere/gizmo * hp/pavilion_m6_1035dx * lenovo/g505s * pcengines/apu1 * pcengines/apu2 I have seen some active development for the boards listed below, and I am postponing the source removals for these until 2nd Feb 2020. As these boards are no longer build-tested they may degrade fast. * amd/bettong * asus/am1i-a * biostar/am1ml Developers will help people who have these platforms to bring their board sources to current standards. The process begins by uploading a fresh board-status result for the board you volunteer to work on and announce this by replying to this thread. Unless followilng boards see activity in form of boot success/failure reports on the mailing list or in the board-status repository, their sources will be removed from master 31st Dec 2019. * amd/db-ft3b-lc * amd/inagua * amd/lamar * amd/olivehill * amd/olivehillplus * amd/parmer * amd/persimmon * amd/thatcher * amd/south_station * amd/union_station * bap/ode_e20XX * bap/ode_e21XX * biostar/a68n_5200 * elmex/pcm205400 * gizmosphere/gizmo2 * hp/abm * jetway/nf81-t56n-lf * lippert/frontrunner-af * lippert/toucan-af * msi/ms7721 Furthermore: * amd/bettong removal, should it happen, triggers CarrizoPI (00660F01) removal * amd/lamar removal, should it happen, triggers KaveriPI (00630F01) removal Once a board has its source removed, it will face the standard review process should someone want to bring it back. Reincarnations until next (4.12) release might not be accepted. Kind regards, Kyösti Mälkki

Hello, I am interested in this patch and would like to help test. I have an X230 and a T430 available for testing. I also believe leaving it as a CMOS option would be best. Kind regards, Michał

AMD AGESA board removals
by Kyösti Mälkki 13 Dec '19

13 Dec '19

Hi Regarding the deprecation of AGESA platforms due to ROMCC_BOOTBLOCK. As of 3rd December there is active development, while not much testing yet, only for the following AGESA platform boards: * asrock/imb-a180 * lenovo/g505s * pcengines/apu1 Developers will help people who have these platforms to bring their board sources to current standards. The process begins by uploading a fresh board-status result for the board you volunteer to work on and announce this by replying to this thread. Using one of the above boards as a sample, it might not take more than 30 minutes and two boots to make the required transition. But first we need to have the above boards working of course. Our board-status repository has some previous results for the boards listed below, and we need your assistance to keep these boards in: * amd/olivehill * amd/persimmon * amd/thatcher * asrock/e350m1 * asus/am1i-a * asus/f2a85-m * biostar/am1ml * gizmosphere/gizmo * hp/pavilion_m6_1035dx * jetway/nf81-t56n-lf * lippert/frontrunner-af * msi/ms7721 Same offer and request of help as above applies to the following boards, for which we have no previous board-status records: * amd/inagua * amd/parmer * amd/south_station * amd/union_station * bap/ode_e20XX * biostar/a68n_5200 * elmex/pcm205400 * gizmosphere/gizmo2 * hp/abm * lippert/toucan-af Any board with ROMCC_BOOTBLOCK will be disabled from automatic build-testing by 14th December at latest, such that ROMCC_BOOTBLOCK removal in common code can proceed. Boards that see no activity will be removed from the tree 31st December 2019. Once a board has its source removed, it will face the standard review process should someone want to bring it back. Reincarnations until next (4.12) release might not be accepted. Kind regards, Kyösti Mälkki

Asus F2A85M broken from version 4.10
by Balázs Vinarz 13 Dec '19

13 Dec '19

Hello there! I just recently started to work again on my port for Asus A88XM-E, which is based on the F2A85-M: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/30987. The master build was broken for the A88XM-E and I though maybe some of the differences between the sources have caused this, but it's broken for the F2A85-M (LE) as well. I built all the 4.9, 4.10 and 4.11 versions and 4.10 and 4.11 is definitely broken. Right after the kernel loads it stops with a panic. Where should I start a conversation about this? Bugtracker doesn't seem to be too active. I hope the mailing list can handle the attachment :) Regards
