programming mistake
by Lehner Franz 06 May '03

06 May '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 i hope, this is the correct channel now, i am not suscribed. when i programmed the cromwell ( the Bios on the Xbox) i compared a little with the Linux-bios, to avid programming problems. i copy'd some sources out of the CPU init, special, the microcode update src/cpu/p6/microcode.c you did a struct microcode *m; m = (void *)&microcode_updates; ... but basically, this is wrong. it should more look like: struct microcode *m; m = (struct microcode *)microcode_updates; otherwise, the compleate microcode update procedure is "sensless" i hope, this helped you in your project, and good luck for the future franz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 7.0.4 iQA/AwUBPrfr2RbHVw21GxJvEQJ5JgCgx+wRY7bcVoznyEGv9u7w7DuhMzUAn0Jb tDi8bz+Zy0APTVoFWawL/XtC =q3gZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Delay in copying Linuxbios to ram
by Shubhangi Jadhav 06 May '03

06 May '03

Hi, While trying to boot using linuxbios , I get a message " Copying LinuxBIOS to ram " and then the system pauses for 3-4 secs, before printing the next message - "Jumping to Linuxbios" Could someone tell me what causes this delay, does the process of uncompressing and copying linuxbios to RAM take this long? Any suggestions on how to reduce this delay? Here's the log of the debug messages. ***************log********************************* LinuxBIOS-1.0.0 Thu Apr 24 06:42:06 IST 2003 starting...

Missing file (tbootfile.c)
by David Murdie 06 May '03

06 May '03

Just thought I'd mention that one of the files on the developers download page is missing. Its the 'C' code for tbootfile (Second last link on the download page) and the current link refers to it being in /developer/code/tbootfile.c Just thought I'd let you know. I initially tried sending this to webmaster(a)linuxbios.org, but it got bounced so I thought this would be the next port of call. (It probably doesn't need to go to the mailing list) Thanks, -- David Murdie __________________________________________________ Yahoo!

So far I have just skimmed the Documentation but it appears that AMD has now publicly published everything needed to do Hammer LinuxBIOS port. No great surprise but it is nice to actually see it ! Yeah! The chaos with the Dual Athlons has finally paid off :) Eric

Re: Debugging the linuxBIOS code
by Andrew Ip 06 May '03

06 May '03

Deepak, > Thanks. I like this list for it's good responses. > Could you please elaborate on "POST card", what is it exactly ? > You are correct, I do not have a simulator. It is a PCI card which displays the value of port address 80. In LinuxBIOS source, it is not hard to find, eg. intel_chip_post_macro(0x11) It will dump 0x11 to port 80, and POST card will display 11 on its LED. While debugging, you can record the value and search thru the source to see where LinuxBIOS hangs. However, you can't do backtracing with this device. -Andrew -- Andrew Ip Email: aip(a)cwlinux.com Tel: (852) 2542 2046 Fax: (852) 2542 2036 Mobile: (852) 9201 9866 Cwlinux Limited Unit 202B 2/F Lai Cheong Factory Building, 479-479A Castle Peak Road, Lai Chi Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
