OpenBSD won't install on an x220 Thinkpad with Coreboot
by Robert Milton April 12, 2020

April 12, 2020

I'm trying to get OpenBSD to install on an x220 Thinkpad with Coreboot/SeaBIOS but I'm running into two problems: the ethernet device doesn't work and OpenBSD doesn't detect my HDD. dmesg said em0 wouldn't load because the EEPROM had an invalid signature. I have no idea why OpenBSD doesn't see my HDD though. It's strange because everything works fine under Linux. And I cannot seem to mount a usb drive under the OpenBSD installer to attach dmesg errors. I originally posted this as a bug report to bug report mailing list but Theo said it would be better suited for Coreboot's and wasn't a bug in OpenBSD.

https://review.coreboot.org/21774 In case anyone else didn't notice - It is a sandy/ivy system with IOMMU. This is great and should help get coreboot in to the corporate user world.

Chainloading Windows from a Linux Payload
by Matt B Aug. 27, 2019

Aug. 27, 2019

Greetings, From what I can find, Linux can only chainload another linux kernel. (via kexec) Does this mean that a Linux payload like LinuxBoot cannot be used to boot Windows or another OS, either directly or by chainloading another payload from CBFS? It's nice that a Linux payload can provide superior flexibility and configurability than UEFI with the added benefit of a battle-hardened environment, but the ability to only boot a Linux OS seems like a pretty significant limitation (if this is indeed the case). Sincerely, -Matt

ASUS KCMA-D8 RAM issues
by up6IfzRzvQCyv9AK4XvYirxDa8 July 12, 2019

July 12, 2019

Hello, I bought the motherboard ASUS KCMA-D8 to set up a coreboot + Qubes OS workstation. However, I don't find a combination of coreboot + CPU + RAM that works. I have also tried the latest libreboot and it works in most cases, but does not provide microcode updates. For test purposes I tried 41xx/42xx/43xx Opterons. The error message I get in most cases on the serial null-modem port is: DIMM training FAILED! Restarting system...soft_reset() called! I following RAM modules has been used: - M391B1G73BH0-CK0 (8GB PC3L-12800 UDIMM ECC) // NOK - NT8GC72B4NB1NK-CG (8GB PC3PC3-10600 RDIMM ECC) //NOK - HMT325U7BFR8A (2GB PC3-10600 UDIMM ECC ) //OK, see https://www.raptorengineering.com/coreboot/kcma-d8-status.php There are also differences between 42xx and 42xx/43xx. Below a logfile of coreboot 4.9 with 4225 and 4180. Test with 4365 + coreboot 4.9 and 1x M391B1G73BH0-CK0 in the Slot A2 and 1x CPU. The same configuration but with the HMT325U7BFR8A (recommended by raptorengineering.com) works. I tried many combinations of RAM modules + CPU + coreboot versions (4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9) but get the above "DIMM training FAILED..." error message in most cases. Any ideas or recommendations for RAM modules that are supported so that a workstation with 32GB or better 64GB can be built? Or why libreboot works and coreboot doesn't? Thank you. 4225 / #005.log (1x NT8GC72B4NB1NK-CG) // NOK ====================================== coreboot-4.9 Wed Dec 19 18:05:51 UTC 2018 romstage starting... .. ..

Re: Debugging AGESA black box
by Jorge Fernandez Monteagudo June 27, 2019

June 27, 2019

Hi all, I've been able to implement the 'AGESA_HOOKBEFORE_DRAM_INIT' to try to see what AGESA blob is doing and it's call 10 time before resetting the board. Any with AGESA experience could confirm this is a normal behavior? Anybody knows if there are any board using the IDS (Integrated Debug Services) of the AGESA? I would like to activate it to try to get more info about what's going on... Regards, Jorge ________________________________ De: Jorge Fernandez Monteagudo <jorgefm(a)cirsa.com> Enviado: martes, 25 de junio de 2019 8:42:57 Para: coreboot(a)coreboot.org Asunto: [coreboot] Debugging AGESA black box Hi all, I'm trying to use coreboot on a custom board based on the stoneyridge AMD SOC. I'm reusing the mainboard/amd/gardenia code. We have serial console and I've been able to trace down to 'AmdInitPost(PostParams);' called from 'src/soc/amd/common/block/pi/agesawrapper.c' to the responsible to make the board reset. Maybe we have some hardware problem related to the DIMM area. Then, there is some way to get some callback, trace, etc from the AGESA blackbox code? Any chance to use the Integrated Debug Services (IDS)? Any recommendation to solve this? Thanks!

compiler/toolchain issue?
by mturney＠codeaurora.org June 26, 2019

June 26, 2019

A quick look on the mailing list doesn't show this issue for anybody else so I have to assume something with my setup. For past year + I have been working with coreboot in Chromium chroot environment. Yesterday I had to go back to the standalone build environment. This is happening from tip of upstream master. It is consistent with i386, arm and aarch64 toolchain. This output is following Lesson 1 so it is from i386 with QEMU configuration. Using git blame, all of the code (cbfstool & commonlib headers) was last modified 2015 and 2017, so figure it is toolchain and/or my host, which is Ubuntu 16.04. I will add that there is an issue with chrome-ec repo access, but doubt that is contributory to this build error, but here are the messages from chrome-ec first: Cloning into '3rdparty/chromeec'... X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0 fatal: Project not found: coreboot/chrome-ec fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. Clone of 'ssh://review-android.quicinc.com:29418/coreboot/chrome-ec.git' into submodule path '3rdparty/chromeec' failed And here is tail-end of coreboot build that fails: CC postcar/southbridge/intel/common/reset.o CC postcar/southbridge/intel/common/rtc.o LINK cbfs/fallback/postcar.debug IASL build/dsdt.aml Intel ACPI Component Architecture ASL+ Optimizing Compiler/Disassembler version 20190509 Copyright (c) 2000 - 2019 Intel Corporation coreboot toolchain vc15e600 2019-05-10 ASL Input: dsdt.asl - 15113 bytes 245 keywords 399 source lines AML Output: dsdt.aml - 4021 bytes 99 opcodes 146 named objects Compilation successful. 0 Errors, 0 Warnings, 0 Remarks, 234 Optimizations IASL build/dsdt.aml disassembled correctly.

More coding style change proposals
by Patrick Georgi June 25, 2019

June 25, 2019

Hey everybody, in today's leadership meeting, the question was brought up if we want to normalize the coding style in coreboot to _always_ use braces in if, else and for statements, even if it's just one statement they're wrapping. The arguments made in favor were: 1. it's more consistent 2. it's safer: you won't accidentally add a statement that is outside the context it's supposed to run in (or even move a statement out into the parent context by inserting another statement) So instead of: if (foo) bar(); else { baz(); quux(); } we'd do: if (foo) { bar(); } else { baz(); quux(); } The attendees were generally in favor, but wanted to ask the wider community. The idea of putting it up for a vote was brought up, but we decided to discuss it first (and vote if there's disagreement, after the arguments were exchanged. makes for clearer arguments for all positions on the ballot, too) Patrick
