[coreboot - Bug #445] Thinkpad X200 wifi issue
by Masc Masc 15 Feb '23

15 Feb '23

Issue #445 has been updated by Masc Masc. I would like to add a latest update. I have been having the wifi card problem intermittently and I decided to change it. I purchased another Atheros AR5B95 and so far the problem seems resolved (I have been testing it for a few days and the issue seems gone), supporting the idea in Martin Roth's post. ---------------------------------------- Bug #445: Thinkpad X200 wifi issue https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/445#change-1418 * Author: Masc Masc * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Target version: none * Start date: 2023-01-06 * Affected versions: 4.18 ---------------------------------------- Compiled coreboot latest revision from source and built a coreboot rom image for X200 with SeaBIOS (also tried with Grub as a payload). The laptop beeps and the power LED flashes at startup and the wifi card does not work (cannot enable wifi in OS). The operating system is Debian Bullseye and the wifi card is an Atheros AR5B95. The OS boots normally, but no wifi is available. The wifi card has been tested and works fine with latest stable libreboot release. ---Files-------------------------------- config (18.1 KB) cbmem.txt (42.4 KB) dmesg.txt (62.8 KB) lspci_nn_libreboot.txt (2.42 KB) lspci_tv_libreboot.txt (1.47 KB) lspci_vvvxx_libreboot.txt (31.1 KB) lspci_nn_coreboot.txt (2.42 KB) lspci_tv_coreboot.txt (1.48 KB) lspci_vvvxx_coreboot.txt (31.6 KB) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.

[coreboot - Other #314] (Closed (locked)) Please disable 'administrator approval' on ticket.coreboot.org
by Felix Singer 15 Feb '23

15 Feb '23

Issue #314 has been updated by Felix Singer. Status changed from Response Needed to Closed (locked) @akjuxr3, you are doing very strong accusations against the project and the administrators of this service without providing any proof. Since I am administrating this service, I am taking this very serious and I really don't like getting wrong accusations. Not anything from what you are saying is true. The coreboot project tries to be inclusive as much as possible and people, me including, didn't know what to say or what to think while reading this. People are working hard and using their spare time, while having a day job, to give you the best possible experience. When we have to deal with things like this, then it's not just annoying or frustrating but it hurts, which might discourage people from spending their time on the project. Patrick already explained the reason for that. We have to deal with spam accounts, rather some form of bots creating accounts, and this prevents them to flood this ticket system with spam. I'm trying to find ways to get rid of that, but there are not many options. So I do think this is a valid and reasonable solution so that the ticket system stays usable. To be very clear: For the future, I am asking you to think twice before you do such accusations and to write your requests in a polite manner. I do not want to read wrong accusations again, especially when there is not a single proof given. I'm going to close this ticket. ---------------------------------------- Other #314: Please disable 'administrator approval' on ticket.coreboot.org https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/314#change-1415 * Author: akjuxr3 akjuxr3 * Status: Closed (locked) * Priority: Normal * Category: infrastructure * Start date: 2021-07-30 ---------------------------------------- Please disable this 'administrator approval' on ticket.coreboot.org. It feels like discrimination. Before i have written the first word on ticket.coreboot.org i have to be approved by someone by hand without this person knowing anything from me. I had to wait several days for this approval. Its completely unclear what is been tracked. Have the IP-address used for registration been tracked? Have the used email-address been tracked? E-mail-address-discrimination is illegal in many countries and this is completely breaking the freedom of choice! Username? Choosing (user)names is up to the user and making decision based on what names are 'allowed' to enter a platform is the most racist thing possible. Conclusion: This 'administrator approval' is sort of discrimination i have not seen for years on free projects! There is no data available at the registration process that could or should be used to decide who is allowed to report a bug in the coreboot project. Please disable this discrimination that is stopping people for days or even forever to report a coreboot issue. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.

[coreboot - Bug #393] T500 restarts rather than waking up from suspend
by akjuxr3 akjuxr3 15 Feb '23

Issue #393 has been updated by akjuxr3 akjuxr3. I can confirm this issue on a T500. ---------------------------------------- Bug #393: T500 restarts rather than waking up from suspend https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/393#change-1411 * Author: Robert Gruber * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Target version: master * Start date: 2022-06-28 * Affected versions: master * Related links: https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/167 * Affected hardware: Lenovo Thinkpad T500 * Affected OS: xubuntu 22.04 LTS ---------------------------------------- I have a similar issue like Bug #167 on an T500 with coreboot master (c2b4f44100e3f4ee84ba40cf96305eb32a0def76). System is working fine except this issue. When I go to suspend the moon LED is shining but when I power on again the system reboots from scratch (but not always). I tried CONFIG_CONSOLE_SERIAL=n but this does not solve this issue. I did not have any moon LED blinking. Instead sometimes the moon LED is shining persistent after reboot. Does anybody have an idea why the system sometimes reboots after suspend to ram and sometimes the suspend to ram works just as it should ? -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.

Issue #459 has been reported by Tim Wawrzynczak. ---------------------------------------- Support #459: Attempt to standardize LB_MEM_RESERVED https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/459 * Author: Tim Wawrzynczak * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Tim Wawrzynczak * Category: coreboot common code * Target version: none * Start date: 2023-02-13 * Affected hardware: x86 * Affected OS: Linux ---------------------------------------- Regarding https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/52585, we have gone ahead and created LB_MEM_SOFT_RESERVED (0xefffffff) to be used in e820 table for memory that is "soft reserved" (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=…). This creates a coreboot+Linux specific configuration which is undesirable from an interoperability standpoint. We should work to create a standard indicator for these types of entries. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.

by Moorthi M.s 11 Feb '23

11 Feb '23

Hi, I am developing coreboot along with uefipayload for camelback mountain crb. Board booted and working but not able to store the NVRAM BIOS configuration details. I am using coreboot 4.11 and found that the SMMSTORE_V2 is not implemented in that particular version. I tried to add SMMSTORE_V2 feature, but failed. whether the broadwell DE supports SMMSTORE_V2? Is there any other way avilable to save the BIOS boot configuration? Regards, Moorthi S
