RE: flash_n_burn rom utils, /dev/bios ... resquest
by John Usher (Maptek) 21 Apr '04

For what it's worth (and so far it only works on a win* machine, we use the following cheap programmer with our ST M29F040B parts. Works a treat, but programming through the lpt port is not the fasted. The fact that only windows is supported is also a bit of a bummer. http://www.jedmicro.com.au/PROM.htm j -----Original Message----- From: ron minnich [mailto:rminnich@lanl.gov] Sent: Wednesday, 21 April 2004 8:20 AM To: Ian Zimmerman Cc: linuxbios(a)clustermatic.org Subject: Re: flash_n_burn rom utils, /dev/bios ... resquest On 20 Apr 2004, Ian Zimmerman wrote: > Same here. > > I feel that the reliance on hotplugging flash chips has limited > linuxbios audience to hard-core metal hackers. but what else can you do? Can you afford a flash burner? The set of people who can afford this is smaller than the set of people who can hot plug. I had not realized however that hot plug is such a big issue, so suggestions for alternatives that are affordable would be great Thanks! ron _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list Linuxbios(a)clustermatic.org http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios

EPIA-M IRQ cvs update
by Dave Ashley 20 Apr '04

20 Apr '04

>committed, cvs update and try again, and thanks for your patience. I tried this but none of your recent cvs commits are visible (the earlysetup.inc or the mainboard.c change). Remember I'm still just using the pond-scum cvs server: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.freebios.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/freebios co freebios -Dave

RE: epia-m latest cvs works

I just built fresh LB from CVS for EPIA-M ME-600. Seems a lot of progress has been made. Payload included VGA bios and FILO. Seems like most all components detected. I'm going to test MPEG, X11, mouse and will report soon. Previously, MPEG2 used too much CPU and was jerky, AGP seemed slow, mouse was very slow.

epia-m latest cvs works
by Dave Ashley 20 Apr '04

20 Apr '04

I cvs updated and the latest changes were there (earlysetup.inc and the mainboard.c). I built the rom with this script: # Modify the example.config to point to the right payloads for vgabios.bin # and the etherboot payload cd /ram/build rm -rf obj python /ram/freebios/util/config/NLBConfig.py example.config /ram/freebios/ make -C obj NOTE: I had /ram/freebios as the cvs checked out tree. Here is the diff on the example.config from the tree and the one I used: 5d4 < target /opt/cwlinux/buildrom/epia-m 28c27 < target /ram/freebios/obj --- > target /ram/build/obj 48c47 < payload /opt/cwlinux/etherboot/src/bin32/via-rhine.ebi --- > #payload /opt/cwlinux/etherboot/src/bin32/via-rhine.ebi Which is pretty simple, just picking my payload and vgabios.bin. My vgabios.bin is just extracted from the c000:0000 memory after having boot up from the stock bios, same as everyone else's. My payload is based on etherboot 5.0.10 but other versions of etherboot are fine too. Anyway this tree builds fine for my needs. It also appears the temperature monitoring functions of the VT1211 are also working correctly. One of the tweaks I do in my version now is switch the ttyS0 and ttyS1 so ttyS0 ends up being the inside one. Now that I think about it there is an obscure bit I had to set to enable that internal port, but I've posted about this in this mailing list. I think I enable the parallel port also. I don't enable the IDE controller(s) but those appear to be on now but I'm not sure. -Dave

EPIA-M IRQ [FIXED]
by Dave Ashley 19 Apr '04

19 Apr '04

>once more, shall we diff CVS and your tree? this is something simple, I >know, just not sure what. I fixed it by modifying this file freebios/src/mainboard/via/epia-m/mainboard.c Inside final_southbridge_fixup add this at the bottom of the function: pci_routing_fixup(); I've booted off this latest version with my payload + my vgabios.bin and have SVGA output working, mpeg-2 video playback working, audio out working, networking up, the pci-card we have in the epia-m functions fully. I think with this change it is good to go for V2. This doesn't require any changes in the linux ebi file I load with the etherboot payload. -Dave

epia-m IRQ issue
by Dave Ashley 19 Apr '04

19 Apr '04

I've stuck in my own earlysetup.inc file and it works ok. My payload and my vgabios.bin seem to function but I'm dying inside linux because none of the IRQ's are assigned. I put in some debug code and the IRQ numbers in the pci configuration space don't seem to be getting set. For example the ethernet controller has IRQ 0 for its setting. There is no change to linux required to get this to work right, something is broken in linuxbios that was working before. PCI routing tables--I don't even really understand what these are, don't know if they apply here. Linux is scanning the pci config space to get the bios assigned irq's and they are probably all 0. -Dave

EPIA-M build problem
by Dave Ashley 19 Apr '04

19 Apr '04

I didn't get far: 1) CVS checkout latest 2) Take /freebios/src/mainboard/via/epia-m/example.config, A) comment out #payload /opt/cwlinux/etherboot/src/bin32/via-rhine.ebi towards bottom B) Note: There are 2 conflicting target lines, and 2 conflicting payload lines. 3) Run python config script: python /ram/freebios/util/config/NLBConfig.py example.config /ram/freebios/ (Worked ok, no errors) 4) Go into /ram/freebios/obj and do "make" 5) Fails with this: make: *** No rule to make target `/ram/freebios/src/mainboard/via/epia-m/earlysetup.inc', needed by `crt0.s'. Stop. Could it be a missing cvs commit? -Dave

FILO features request
by YhLu 18 Apr '04

18 Apr '04

Eric, Are you adding features to filo? I hope it can 1. understand grub.conf in HD --- and append console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 automatically 2. understand Linux Installation CD: /boot/loader/isolinux.cfg --- and append console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 automatically 3. editor to boot command line 4. auto items for elf image in rom ( 64k or 32k segement from 0xfff80000) mem@0xfff80000 mem@0xfff90000 mem@0xfffa0000 mem@0xfffb0000 ....

flash_rom Problem
by Thomas Spear 16 Apr '04

16 Apr '04

This is what happens when I try to build flash_rom: root@(none):/home/freebios2/util/flash_and_burn# make gcc -O2 -g -Wall -Werror -c -o flash_rom.o flash_rom.c gcc -O2 -g -Wall -Werror -c -o flash_enable.o flash_enable.c flash_enable.c:3: pci/pci.h: No such file or directory make: *** [flash_enable.o] Error 1 Someone please tell what I've done wrong. Where does "pci/pci.h" come from? The romimage seems to build ok (I don't really know since I can't flash the rom and try it). Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ >From must-see cities to the best beaches, plan a getaway with the Spring Travel Guide! http://special.msn.com/local/springtravel.armx
