Hello, I actually have one question about coreboot, i know that normal "bios" are updated during the time the constructor decide to update them, i would like to know if it's the same with coreboot or if a coreboot enabled "bios" is updatable endlessly like linux. Thanks -- M

vPub v4 opensource online Party! - 17 February at 8 PM UTC
by Mike Banon 17 Feb '22

17 Feb '22

Dear friends, on 17 February at 8 PM UTC we are having a Dasharo OSF vPub Winter 2022 opensource online party! There, we'll be discussing the opensource firm/hard-wares in a cosy community of enthusiasts from all over the world. And you are welcome to join us: for example, you may learn about some unusual hardware that supports an open-source firmware and could be a perfect fit for your collection. :-) Here's a homepage of our party - https://vpub.dasharo.com/ . Although a significant part of the event will be in a free-for-all format with its' exciting random flow of topics, there are some particular ones that we would like to observe: i.e. "Crowdfunding of open source firmware distribution for modern platforms". And you can suggest your ideas - and have your moment of fame by giving a demo/presentation of your project: please write to us at vPub Matrix room [2] to designate a special time for you. In any case, we will be honoured to see you among us for a great time together ;-) [1] https://vpub.dasharo.com/ [2] https://matrix.to/#/#dasharo-osf-vpub:matrix.org -- Best regards, Mike Banon Open Source Community Manager of 3mdeb - https://3mdeb.com/

Personal challenge | Ramp up on coreboot : Trials on aftermarket X58 motherboards.
by Master 15 Feb '22

15 Feb '22

Hello everyone, I hope you're doing fine I would like to do some trials to see if I may be able to support few boards I have cause they are aftermarket withoout EFI and without firmware updates and not working as I would like them to. (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1370496/cant-boot-latests-lives-for-install…) I really would not like to throw them... They are X58 chipset with ICH10 with Xeon Westmere on socket 1366 and SuperIO NCT5532D. (https://www.intel.com/content/dam/doc/datasheet/x58-express-chipset-datashe…) (https://www.intel.com/content/dam/doc/datasheet/io-controller-hub-10-family…) (https://datasheetspdf.com/pdf-file/1042365/novoTon/NCT5532D/1) I have the tooling to backup and restore the flash and already done that few time. I have built latest coreboot (4.14 using lenovo x201 config) with EDK2 firmware as payload (edk2-stable202108 NOOPT) successfully but nothing is happening after flash swap and power on. I have RS232 debug working at ttyS0 (at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A) From the original firmware, just after power on, even before any bip or display or keyboard light I see "Socket = 0" on serial, so the the original firmware is able to output to this serial very early. I read quite a lot of literature about coreboot, but still, I am not sure how to pursue now. Thanks in advance, Have a nice day, Best Regards, Mickaël.

Proposition to revert GCC 11
by Arthur Heymans 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

Hi There have been some reports of GCC11 not booting on some AGESA fam15 platforms and on Intel ironlake. I confirmed that on my X201 (ironlake). The system hangs at an endless loop during heci init. The code generated doing that part is not wrong, which makes me think that other code in that 5k+ LOC file is incorrectly generated. Figuring out what is going on: whether that gcc revision is broken or our code is going to take some time. Clang (with some patches to get it to build) does result in a booting image btw. Also my fedora35 gcc11 has the same issue. My initial approach for figuring out what function is incorrectly generated is to move them over in a separate file and replace the .o file with a gcc8 generated .o file. That approach will take some time for sure as there are a lot of functions in that 5K LOC file. Another suggestion was to bisect gcc, which is more straightforward. Any suggestions for a faster/better approach? I'm suggesting reverting gcc while this issue is being sorted out. One issue with this however is that older GCC don't build anymore with my fedora gcc11 toolchain. However this can likely easily be fixed using docker. GCC 8.3 was the previous revision we used but there have been a lot of releases in between so those could be considered too. Kind regards Arthur
