There is a reason a copied the linuxbios list. There are plenty of people who can tell you and a lot you can find out by looking up linuxbios. And yes it is the same project. Asking my privately for common things is not a good use of time and a terrible way to get responses out of me. I don't mind being copied but by asking on the list it is possible someone else will have time and reply to you before I do. I don't have time right now to hold your hand. Eric

Python config file options
by corentin hache 23 Feb '05

Hello, I am newbie in LinuxBios, and I Would like to know where I can find documentation about the python config file (epia.config in my case). Is there a file or a website where I can find informations about all possibles options ? Thanks COCOCH --------------------------------- Découvrez le nouveau Yahoo!

I was hoping that by comparing some other similiar via chipset bios with this one I could probably make a guess (with plenty of hand holding from you guys) of important events. Then use that as a template to get things going. I am presuming that the current crop of devices wont be wildly different. rgds jtd

The most recent code is checked into cvs and that is likely the best way to get it. I believe someone was also making recent CVS snapshots. I've copied this on the primary development list. Eric

Re: Embedded Linux

LinuxBIOS-->FILO-->read ELF on USB flash makes sense. I've been thinking about doing something similar with my Xbox. As some of your may know, the Xbox has an open source BIOS called Cromwell that boots to an intermediate stage where one can select either HDD, DVD, Etherboot to boot a Linux kernel or enter a BIOS setup area for video mode, HDD type, etc. That model works fine with the exception of not being able to boot from USB flash devices. All that is done in a 256K flash ROM space. I believe taking advantage of the flexibility of USB flash devices is a great idea. David

That would take forever if at all.Isnt there another way? Like simulator or gdb or reading up stuff from the kernel since that already works with the motherboard. rgds jtd

Actual/operating CPU frequency (fwd)
by Ronald G. Minnich 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

An interesting question. AFAIK there is no general purpose way to get this out of the CPU, am I wrong on this? I figure you have to at least talk to the chipset and get some info ... ron ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2005 16:29:40 -0700 From: Patrick McCormick <pat(a)lanl.gov> To: Ronald G. Minnich <rminnich(a)lanl.gov> Subject: Actual/operating CPU frequency Hi Ron, Would you happen to have any source around (assembly is fine) that will return the actual clock speed that a processor (Intel and AMD) is running at? I have the start of some code but I'm having a tough time getting the details worked out. I know the BIOS has a 'ticker' with a known speed so I could then use the time step counter to eventually get to the cpu frequency but but I haven't found out exactly how to do this in several attempts. Any ideas? This code will eventually have to run under both Linux and Windows (ugh). Thanks, --Pat

Embedded Linux
by Gin 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Don't know if anyone has a good tool package in mind that I can use to develop an Embedded Linux. We want a linux that is just enough to run the flash_rom program+usb support and we hope it would be small enough so we can fit it into a Bios chip. It's all for the convenience of updating Bios in the future. As you image, we are closed to support Linuxbios officially in our products. gin
