Hardware compatibility lists
by Jacob Alifrangis (LISTS) 10 May '04

10 May '04

I would like to help cleanup the 'supported systems' list on the website and update it. I would like to make it database driven, and turn it into a more dynamic page, as hardware support is added or broken it could be updated. Something else we want to add, Hardware support for some desktop motherboards. ELEMENTS P4 Motherboard (P4MDPT) - www.elements-pc.com ELEMENTS AMD Motherboard (N2PAP) - www.elements-pc.com I am willing to contribute hardware and the documentation from these manufacturers. The people at embeddedx86 are extremely helpful, and I have a good working relationship with them. I'm willing to foot the bill for some expenses for this project. Thanks -J

Thanks for the quick response! I suspected that you'd moved away from patching the kernel due to the lack of a patch directory under the freebios2 tree. I have a TYAN S2885 system on my desk running SUSE 9.0 for x86-64. So the tools are pretty much latest-n-greatest. But after checking out the latest sources I am getting the following error message(s): /home/jmiller/freebios2/src/southbridge/amd/amd8111/amd8111_lpc.c: In function `lpc_init': /home/jmiller/freebios2/src/southbridge/amd/amd8111/amd8111_lpc.c:153: warning: implicit declaration of function `isa_dma_init' /home/jmiller/freebios2/src/southbridge/amd/amd8111/amd8111_lpc.c: At top level: /home/jmiller/freebios2/src/southbridge/amd/amd8111/amd8111_lpc.c:196: error: `walk_static_devices' undeclared here (not in a function) /home/jmiller/freebios2/src/southbridge/amd/amd8111/amd8111_lpc.c:196: error: initializer element is not constant /home/jmiller/freebios2/src/southbridge/amd/amd8111/amd8111_lpc.c:196: error: (near initialization for `lpc_ops.scan_bus') make[1]: *** [amd8111_lpc.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jmiller/freebios2/targets/tyan/s2885/s2885/fallback' make: *** [fallback-rom] Error 1 It looks like I picked up unfinished changes.

Also the LinuxBIOS list is a good place to ask questions like this in case I get distracted. Eric

LinuxBIOS for HDAMA not building
by Craig C Forney 10 May '04

10 May '04

The current LinuxBIOS tree from sourceforge doesn't seem to build properly for the last few days. I noticed that arima/hdama, amd/quartet, and tyan/s2850 all get the same error (compilation of src/southbridge/amd/amd8111/amd8111_lpc.c fails). I assume it's related to the current discussion around the 8111 stuff. Is the current source tree in an unstable state? Or is my build environment screwed up? Craig Forney Opus Innovations LLC

Where to find freebios2 info?
by Jay Miller 10 May '04

10 May '04

Hello All, We just started a project that we hope to use LinuxBIOS on. We're using Athlon64, with AMD 8111, 8131, and a dual broadcom gige chipset. Looking around it appears that freebios2 supports this hardware. Where do I go to find information about freebios2 development? Specifically I'm looking for, where the kernel patches are (do you still do that in 2.0)? What kernels do you support? Thanks, Jay Miller Actuality Systems, Inc.
