[coreboot - Bug #121] T520: Hangs in OS
by Nemanja Z 15 Nov '24

15 Nov '24

Issue #121 has been updated by Nemanja Z. I also finally updated my T520 i7-3740QM to 24.08-631-gf8d4283e78d2. (from 4.14-2082-gee760b4be8) No kernel options, C7 working now, no crashes in Debian 12, Windows 10 also seems fine. ---------------------------------------- Bug #121: T520: Hangs in OS https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/121#change-1974 * Author: Firstname Lastname * Status: In Progress * Priority: Normal * Category: chipset configuration * Start date: 2017-06-09 * Affected hardware: SNB, IVY * Affected OS: - ---------------------------------------- I have been running coreboot since 2017.04.15 and have experienced hangs ever since then. It was suggested by folk on the IRC that I run memtest to check for incorrect raminit causing errors, however I have run memtest for 12 hours straight with no errors. Due to the ambiguous nature of the hangs (immediate freeze with no warning signs, audio gets stuck repeating the last 50ms or so of noise, not sure what this effect is called) I don't have much useful information other than the .config and dmesg. However one thing I can say with high confidence is that the hangs occur significantly more frequently in Linux (*buntu distros) than Windows 10. Within an hour of launching Linux a hang is likely, whereas Windows typically runs for many hours before a hang occurs. I considered this an insignificant anecdotal anomaly at first but over the course of the nearly 2 months I have been running coreboot it seems to be a solid trend. The hangs occur anywhere, typically during mere desktop usage or basic web browsing. Additionally there is another form of hang I experience where the screen goes black except for some sort of graphical corruption down the left side (http://i.imgur.com/4zWrlpX.jpg), whether this is related to the more common total freeze hangs I don't know but I figured I should include it nonetheless. These hangs only occur about 1:20 compared to the regular hangs. ---Files-------------------------------- config (20.7 KB) dmesg.txt (57.3 KB) cbmem-raminit.txt (62 KB) lspci.txt (29.6 KB) cpuinfo.txt (3.94 KB) defconfig (1023 Bytes) defconfig (699 Bytes) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.

2024-11-13 - coreboot Leadership Meeting Minutes
by mina＠coreboot.org 14 Nov '24

14 Nov '24

# 2024-11-13 - coreboot Leadership Meeting ## Attendees Andre, Felix Held, Jay Talbott, Felix Singer, Julius Werner, Werner Zeh, Alicja Michalska, Mina Asante, Jon Murphy, Matt DeVillier, Maximilian Brune, Ron Minnich, Karthik R. ## Open Action Items * 2024-10-30 * Add clarification to docs, “do not use gerrit change-id or CB: format in reference to already-merged patches”. * 2024-10-16 * Matt: Set up a meeting to discuss board status alternatives and send out invites. * 2024-09-18 * Jon: Schedule a dedicated meeting to discuss the Coverity defects and action plan. * Werner: Send out an invite for the meeting. Sent out a poll to find a time slot:https://rallly.co/invite/1c8J3azXAcje * 2024-05-01 * Nick Van Der Harst volunteered for Dutch. "gogo gogo" would like to translate to Russian (?) * 2024-01-10 * Nico: (https://review.coreboot.org/q/topic:enforce_region_api) * Daniel: Look at how we want to localize (non console) strings for coreboot. Long term project. ## Minutes ### [Elyes] Any update on OpenSBI case …. ? (See 2024-07-24 - coreboot Leadership Meeting and (https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/84979) ). * [Mat]: It was planned to replace the submodule by a binary blob (see patch from Max: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/83284). This patch is ready to be merged, we do not need the 3rdparty git repo anymore for OpenSBI. * Matt will rebase Max’ patch and merge it in. * [Julius]: Shall we keep the old 3rdparty openSBI submodule in the tree or shall we get rid of it after Max’s patch was merged? * [Max]: A lot of users have their own OpenSBI port, so having this submodule in the tree does not bring us that much benefits. It is hard to update OpenSBI submodule currently (can’t build it with our toolchain, there might be a missing linker (PIE: *Makefile:193: *** Your linker does not support creating PIEs, opensbi requires this.. Stop.*) feature). Not clear currently why our linker is missing. * [Julius]: Looks like it's not actually querying the linker for that, you just need to set an option?(https://github.com/riscv-software-src/opensbi/blob/master/Makefile#… * FelixS will give it a try! * If we are going to remove it from 3rdparty, we need to document the dependency to the users to make them aware of the change. * Conclusion: Keep it as long in the tree as somebody is going to fix the issue. ### [Karthik] Is it ok to enable FW_CONFIG in SMM stage (https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/85107/11/src/lib/Makefile.mk) * Are there any security concerns? * FW_CONFIG can use either EC or CBFS * [Julius]: Is the EC communication driver linked to SMM? –> Yes * [Karthik]: Since EC code is linked to SMM there is no issue to add fw_config to SMM from Google’s point of view. * [Matt]:Isn’t fw_config cached on the first read? → Yes, but per stage only. * [Mat, FelixH]: Why not toggle the GPIOs even if the WWAN module is not equipped on the board? The pins should be configured as GPIOs anyway, switching them unconditionally should not harm and will enable us to not link fw_config into SMM. → Karthik will propose that to the ODMs, looks doable. # Next Leadership Meeting November 27, 2024. [coreboot Calendar](https://coreboot.org/calendar.html). # Notice Decisions shown here are not necessarily final, and are based on the current information available. If there are questions or comments about decisions made, or additional information to present, please put it on the leadership meeting agenda and show up if possible to discuss it. Of course items may also be discussed on the mailing list, but as it's difficult to interpret tone over email, controversial topics frequently do not have good progress in those discussions. For particularly difficult issues, it may be best to try to schedule another meeting. # coreboot leadership meeting minutes https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NRXqXcLBp5pFkHiJbrLdv3Spqh1Hu086HYkKrgK…

I suppose it's a problem in the cross compilation of i386-elf-gcc-ar -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.

Hello! I’m an embedded developer, and I’m interested in your ‘coreboot’ project. I want to run it on my motherboard(H610DA ). Could you please help me with that, is there any document that describes porting to a new motherboard? As I understand, I should know how the bios binary file organize on my motherboard and other specific information that I could get only from manufacture. -- Best regards, Valeriy Simakov
