[LinuxBIOS] Geode SC22000
by Per Hallsmark 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

Hello LB people, First, a great thank for the quick boost I had from your project in creating a special firmware for our project. I've ported LB to a SC2200 based platform, NCG266 (you can see some old photos at www.nano-system.com) The jump to the load just takes a couple of secs instead of like a minute with the Insyde BIOS... The LB base is svn ver 2171, I've got a 71K big patch for it. How do I contribute it to LB tree? Also during the learning and porting of LB, a couple of questions popped up: Q1: The source code files often include source files again instead of like building object modules that are later linked together. Why something like this? It seems odd to me as an perhaps oldschool C programmer. Q2: Why does the LB project need a special compiler? I've done numberous of firmware stuff and ordinary gnu tools have a good job so far. Must admit though that these hasn't been x86 which of course has it special boot mode, but there exist "standard" tools for that as well. (RPM package dev86 for example) Q3: Documentation... I was perhaps a bit optimistic when I thought the LB port should take one week, it was more like one month :-) But more documentation could help here a lot, or are there docs outside of linuxbios.org I've missed? Any work in progress here or can I contribute to it somehow? mvh Per Hallsmark T2 Data

Yinghai, your latest checkin breaks _all_ opteron boards. in particular your "new reset functionality" - why exactly is that needed? Please go ahead and fix it. All opteron ports were compiling fine with r2231. compare http://snapshots.linuxbios.org/stats/abuild-LinuxBIOSv2-2231.log and http://snapshots.linuxbios.org/stats/abuild-LinuxBIOSv2-2232.log Stefan * svn(a)openbios.org <svn(a)openbios.org> [060403 22:38]: > Author: yhlu > Date: 2006-04-03 22:38:34 +0200 (Mon, 03 Apr 2006) > New Revision: 2232 > > Added: > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/cpu/amd/car/clear_init_ram.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/northbridge/amd/amdk8/coherent_ht_car.c > Modified: > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/arch/i386/include/arch/romcc_io.h > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/config/Options.lb > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/cpu/amd/car/cache_as_ram.inc > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/cpu/amd/car/copy_and_run.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/cpu/amd/car/disable_cache_as_ram.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/cpu/amd/car/post_cache_as_ram.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/cpu/amd/model_fxx/init_cpus.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/cpu/x86/lapic/lapic_cpu_init.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/devices/hypertransport.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/include/cpu/x86/mem.h > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/agami/aruma/cache_as_ram_auto.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/amd/serengeti_leopard/Config.lb > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/amd/serengeti_leopard/cache_as_ram_auto.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/arima/hdama/Config.lb > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/broadcom/blast/cache_as_ram_auto.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2850/Config.lb > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2850/cache_as_ram_auto.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2875/Config.lb > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2875/cache_as_ram_auto.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2880/Config.lb > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2880/cache_as_ram_auto.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2881/Config.lb > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2881/cache_as_ram_auto.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2882/Config.lb > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2882/cache_as_ram_auto.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2885/Config.lb > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2885/cache_as_ram_auto.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2891/Config.lb > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2891/Options.lb > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2891/cache_as_ram_auto.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2891/get_bus_conf.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2891/resourcemap.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2892/Config.lb > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2892/Options.lb > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2892/cache_as_ram_auto.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2892/get_bus_conf.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2895/Options.lb > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s2895/cache_as_ram_auto.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s4880/Config.lb > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s4880/cache_as_ram_auto.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s4882/Config.lb > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/tyan/s4882/cache_as_ram_auto.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/northbridge/amd/amdk8/coherent_ht.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/northbridge/amd/amdk8/incoherent_ht.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/northbridge/amd/amdk8/raminit.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/northbridge/amd/amdk8/reset_test.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/southbridge/amd/amd8111/Config.lb > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/southbridge/amd/amd8111/amd8111_early_ctrl.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/southbridge/amd/amd8111/amd8111_lpc.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/southbridge/amd/amd8111/amd8111_reset.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/southbridge/nvidia/ck804/ck804_early_setup.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/southbridge/nvidia/ck804/ck804_early_setup_car.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/southbridge/nvidia/ck804/ck804_enable_rom.c > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/southbridge/nvidia/ck804/ck804_smbus.h > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/targets/tyan/s2892/Config.lb > trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/targets/tyan/s2895/Config.lb > Log: > new cache_as_ram support -- coresystems GmbH · Brahmsstr. 16 · D-79104 Freiburg i.

[LinuxBIOS] linuxbios on nodes?
by ulrich.vanbrakel＠pr0sys.com 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

Hi everyone, regarding linuxbios: Do I have to load linuxbios on both "server PC" and nodes, or can I get away with loading it on the nodes only? ps. if this is any help, I am planning on using Clustermatic ..

Yes, you can use LinuxBIOS on nodes only. But I can not find the reason not to use LinuxBIOS on node..., any concern? YH

[LinuxBIOS] CONFIG_LB_MEM_TOPK
by Lu, Yinghai 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

I'm going to check in new cache_as_ram code. It is more solid and could copy data from cache to ram. So we can pass some info from CAR stage to RAM stage. I want to change the default value for CONFIG_LB_MEM_TOPK from 1024 to 2048. So I don't need to change every Opteron MB Config.lb... Let me know if is ok to you. YH

[LinuxBIOS] Advantech SOM GX5333 commited
by Richard Smith 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

I just committed the support for the the SOM-2354 CPU board running on a SOM-DB2301 base board. MSR 20000018 was from the rumba setup which didn't work on this board. Current value was ripped from how XpressROM set it. Other than that all I had to change was the superIO. The unit boots jumps to linubios and looks for the vsabin which it can't find since its not there. What's next? I have also made a little bit of progress on compiling the VSA. OpenWatcom has a 16-bit compiler and I've been hacking the makefile(s) to get it to work. OWC has a cl compability mode but IFAICT its 32bit only. I've attemped to translate the switches. I'm currently at the point of trying to figure out how to feed the OWC linker all the object files. -- Richard A. Smith

Svn diff to current tree. Please check it. I will commit it some time next week. Guys have problem with s2891, s2881, s2892, please try it by patch -p0 to the latest tree. Changes 1. new CAR with copy data from cache to ram 2. new coherent_ht_car.c 3. new reset code for amd8111 4. new amd8111_early_ctrl without sysinfo... Thanks Yinghai Lu

System BIOS or LinuxBIOS? Did you base the code in the tree? YH -----Original Message----- From: linuxbios-bounces(a)linuxbios.org [mailto:linuxbios-bounces@linuxbios.org] On Behalf Of Jia Jianwei Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2006 12:36 PM To: linuxbios(a)linuxbios.org Subject: [LinuxBIOS] broadcom HT1000 SATA PHY initializing I'm porting BIOS on a AMD opteron system with broadcom HT2000 and HT1000 chipset. I meet a problem when initilizing SATA device of HT1000. The SATA PHY status(0x40)always return a disable status(04), whatever I did with the PHY reset ( set 0x48 bit 0 and clear it ).
