Hello!
An interesting thought came to me yesterday. And is still ringing a
loud sound today.
Is it possible to obtain and build ChromeOS from source?
I freely admit that just once (or twice) I did look at building all of
Linux from source, that was back during the same period that the list
concerned itself with the LinuxBIOS project. By the time I'd finished
studying what was involved, I found it was easier to customize the
distribution I do use then to build the actual OS from source. And
that was after being made aware of the amazing Linux From Scratch
project series.
If this is the wrong place to ask this Ron, Stefan, then please advise.

Dear ladies and gentlemen,
I could compile coreboot. A test with qemu, as described in coreboot -
lesson 1
was successful. But this configuration with mainboard = emulation is for
demon-
stration only, isn't it ? I did not find the toshiba mainboard. If it is
possible, please
give me some tips, how I can continue, because for me this is untouched
land.
Because of the fact, that this is an old laptop with many security
elements and a
separate password chip, would you say, let it be ?
Yours sincerely

Hi,
I'm trying to boot Windows 10 with Coreboot 4.9.2002 using Tianocore + a PCIe GPU and I always get an strange ACPI_BIOS_ERROR.
Without the PCIe GPU, works ok.
I'm pretty sure is an error with my DSDT or the southbridge code.
Sadly, I cannot debug Windows to know determine the exact ACPI problem.
I also tested with other boards like the Asus Maximus IV GeneZ and the problem is there too: with the IGP only works, but when I attach a PCIe GPU then it crashes.
Take a look to my code if you want, any help about this will be welcome.

Thanks.
Do you have something crazy going on and want to present it to the
community?
Submit your talk for the Open Source Firmware conference 2019 in silicon
valley until June 30, 2019.
Speakers get complimentary admission to the conference.
We also have scholarship funds to help you attend the conference.
We will have three tracks:
1) Open Source Firmware Main Track
2) Security Track
3) Baseboard Management Controllers (BMC) Track
as well as lightning talks during the hackathon
So just go ahead and participate on the OSFC 19: https://osfc.io/speakers
See you in California in September."

Hi,
We have "#ifdef LONG_FADT" at line #36
however, that LONG_FADT is not used at all
"git grep -r LONG_FADT" gives only 2 places:
src/southbridge/nvidia/ck804/fadt.c:#ifdef LONG_FADT
src/southbridge/nvidia/ck804/fadt.c:#ifdef LONG_FADT
Do you have any idea about LONG_FADT ?
can we drop it?
also, the line : header->length = 0x74 looks "wrong", we currently are using FADT revision 3.
Thx
