I don't think so, That web only for normal BIOS payloads?

[LinuxBIOS] Open Gaming Console
by Nathaniel Dube 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

Has any one ever thought of making a gaming console using LinuxBIOS? I would like to put one together using open standard hardware and with a linux based OS. The goal, to create a openstandard/opensource game console. Then game companies can make games for low prices since this system doesn't have to deal in royalties. I hear the Xbox360 will be around $300 and the games $60. I think that's complete bull spit. I think it's time for people in the Linux world to make our own game console. We made a operating system as an alternative to Windows now it's time to do the same with their game console. We gave the computer world freedom now lets give the gaming world freedom so junior (as well as adults) aren't spending arm and leg for games, consoles and other parts. It's not just money I want people to save but to give them back freedom in the technology they use. The hardware side of this project is easy. The hard part is putting together a small Linux OS for it and customizing LinuxBIOS for this kind of system. If any one wants to start such project let me know. All I have are ideas, what I don't have is the knowledge to pull this off. Which is why I need some of you talented people to help me start a project to pull this off.

[LinuxBIOS] Building Linuxbiosv2
by Narahari, Narasimhaiah (IE10) 01 Sep '05

Hi everyone, I could build the LinuxBIOSv2 on cygwin, but it is asking for some payload to build the eventual image, linuxbios.rom. This is the error it gives while executing the last build step, **************************************************************************** ****************************************** i386-elf-objcopy --gap-fill 0xff -O binary linuxbios linuxbios.strip --> Linuxbios.strip generated ./buildrom linuxbios.strip linuxbios.rom ../../../payloads/tg3--ide_disk.zelf 0x14000 0x60000 ../../../payloads/tg3--ide_disk.zelf: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [linuxbios.rom] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/d/LinuxBIOSv2/targets/amd/solo/solo/normal' make: *** [normal/linuxbios.rom] Error 1 **************************************************************************** ****************************************** Can any body tell me where do I get this payload image (tg3--ide_disk.zelf )? I have got one more small question. Can we boot the windows 2000 using the image build of LinuxBIOSv2 sources? Does it need any other stuffs like ADLOBochs or something? With regards, Narahari

RE: [LinuxBIOS] PCI Express add-on cards and Expansion Roms
by Peter.VanEchaute＠bench.com 01 Sep '05

No, I am not sure. I haven't gotten the card to work with my LinuxBIOS yet. I have seen it work with a Pheonix BIOS and FC3 kernel with the driver. So I know it works. The Pheonix BIOS doesn't show me an output of what it is doing as it loads. So I am looking for a direction of why it isn't working yet. I was thinking it might be the lack of executing a ROM, but didn't want to waste my time going down a path not needed. It seems that I should look deeper into the register set on my PCI-E device for the slot and the PCI-E expansion register space for why it isn't working yet. -Pete -----Original Message----- From: Li-Ta Lo [mailto:ollie@lanl.gov] Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2005 5:48 PM To: Van Echaute, Peter Cc: LinuxBIOS Subject: Re: [LinuxBIOS] PCI Express add-on cards and Expansion Roms On Wed, 2005-08-31 at 15:13 -0400, Peter.VanEchaute(a)bench.com wrote: > Hello All, > > > > I am trying to work on getting a PCI-E card working and came across an > error that I am wondering if I need to worry about.

[LinuxBIOS] PCI Express add-on cards and Expansion Roms
by Peter.VanEchaute＠bench.com 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

Hello All, I am trying to work on getting a PCI-E card working and came across an error that I am wondering if I need to worry about. Below shows that the VGA ROM is loading, but not the ROM from the PCI-E card (at the bottom). Both of these cards are in slots and not onboard. The PCI-E card is an Ethernet card. As the device is getting a bus and resources seemingly just fine, I would think that the ROM would have been found. My question is ... do all add-on cards need to load an expansion ROM or can they run just fine without it? The error in question is "Incorrect Expansion ROM Header Signature ffff".

option rom purposes 1. patch chip bugs 2. installed BIOS call, so OS can boot from SCSI... 3. PXE boot from network... 4. Some UO for setup. 5. VGA card, init .... So depend what card that you are going to use.

get one USB ROM emulator... It could be usefull etherboot to load etherboot to test ehterboot.

I was wondering how difficult/useful it would be to have a very small bios that boots enough to get on the network and then loads the working bios from there. I keep making little changes (printing stuff out) and it is a pain to keep burning Roms. This would also let you have as big a bios as you want. In a cluster you could make a bios change just by updating one file. Steve -- LinuxBIOS mailing list LinuxBIOS(a)openbios.org http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios

[LinuxBIOS] VIA EPIA-MII + fastboot (2.03)
by skb tdf 31 Aug '05

Hi, Although I know, LinuxBIOS != VIA fastboot (and mainly closed source), I have no idea where can I get answer to my question (There was no success on Via forum or Google). Since LinuxBIOS can not be compile for EPIA-MII I tried to reach my aim with fastboot (2.03). After a few hours, it seems that system is not so far from ready, but unfortunately still not finished. On the serial debug line I got the following info: ... ... ... User Routine 1:Jun 25 2004,18:02:57 VIA WINCE FastBoot/FreeBoot Loader V2.03 for EPIA-M2 Jun 25 2004,18:02:51 Zero memory:0x06000000...
