RE: Broadcom NVRAM support

Ask Broadcom to provide one for Linux. But I guess you can not get anything from them. Maybe you can ask them give some documents about that, then you can write linux version by yourself.

Linux bios and IBM Netvista 8363 (again)
by zac luzader 10 Aug '04

10 Aug '04

Awhile back (a month ago), there was some interest in using linuxbios on the IBM Netvista 8363 (aka N2200). (see http://www.mail-archive.com/linuxbios@clustermatic.org/msg07259.html) I have had one of these monstrosities for a while, and would LOVE to replace the incredibly bloated and slow IBM bios. It **should** work, since it is, in fact, a NS Geode chipset. There really isnt anything else on the board except for the requisite sound codec (NatSemi), ethernet (SiS), CF Card, RAM, bios and power supply. There are a few reasons I havent tried this: - I cannot get the thing to boot any sane operating system which would allow me to reflash the bios in situ. I have it starting a 2.4.26 kernel that I built, but although it sees the flash card it hangs on "unable to mount root fs on 00:00". The IBM bios doesnt boot like a normal PC, it is meant to either network-boot or directly load a vmlinux image without a boot loader. - The video chip has no native text display. Although it happily works with the VESA framebuffer driver. So you cant debug that way (at least not before the frame buffer loads). Normally you can use serial or POST card to debug, this is all well and good except that: - the N2200/8363 has no legacy ports (no serial, parallel, or ps/2), it has only VGA, audio, USB and ethernet. - the N2200/8363 has one PCI slot. It is a miniature non-standard connector meant to interface with a proprietary token ring adapter. So I am not too keen on spending alot of time digging up a burner and a extra chip (although I might be able to beg or borrow them) to be presented with a black screen that I can't debug. Point being: How likely is it that there will be a problem? Is it unlikely enough to try it blindly? Is there be any other way to debug a problem?

stopped at "jumping_to_bootcode" @ GEODE SC1200
by 박영우 09 Aug '04

Hi there, We are developing LinuxBIOS upon GEODE SC1200 (from AMD) We want to boot Linux image from IDE Currently, we have completed the BIOS configuration & could be booting with that configuration I think that it's done to read the compressed image from IDE(0x7e00) to memory(0x100000) But We could not load linux image(stopped at "jumping_to_bootcode" , which LinuxBIOS printed) What can we do? Any help or point to the help will be appreciated Regards pywha

ROM-Size-Problem
by Thomas Leidenfrost 07 Aug '04

07 Aug '04

Hello list, here's my actual config-file, but somehow the resulting linuxbios.rom is only 64 kB instead of 256 kB, although setting: "option ROM_SIZE=262144" Filling the Linuxbios.rom to 256 kB with zeros (dd if=/dev/zero bs=1k count=192 >> linuxbios.rom) or with itself three more times (cat linuxbios.rom linuxbios.rom linuxbios.rom linuxbios.rom > bios256.rom) doesn't work, the monitor displays nothing (is framebuffer neccessary for that?!). So, how to make the generated linuxbios.rom will be 256 kB? Thx, Tom target testawb651 mainboard ics-d/awb651 # Enable Serial Console for debugging option SERIAL_CONSOLE=1 option TTYS0_BAUD=38400 option VIDEO_CONSOLE=1 option DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL=9 option DEBUG=1 # option HAVE_FRAMEBUFFER=1 option USE_GENERIC_ROM=1 option USE_ELF_BOOT=1 option ROM_SIZE=262144 option STD_FLASH=1 linux /stuff2/Linuxe/kernel2422 commandline root=/dev/hda1 console=ttyS0,115200 FS_MODE=ro hda=flash

If you are able to test this on a SOLO, I can enable it in CVS. I don't have an appropriate machine here anymore. Stefan

Is it safe to run bist on AMD solo boards? Seems like the other x86_64 boards are using it. Thanks, Jay Miller 781-229-7812x117 Actuality Systems, Inc. jmiller(a)acutality-systems.com
