sourceforge cvs and wrong web page
by Alessio Sangalli 11 Feb '03

11 Feb '03

Hi. On http://www.linuxbios.org/developer/download/index.html you show the commands to checkout linuxbioss from sourceforge cvs: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.freebios.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/freebios login cvs-z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.freebios.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/freebios co freebios this is wrong and "cvs.sourceforge.net" should be used (or you won't be able to download anything). bye as

LinuxBIOS for fast boots
by Nicholas Ault 11 Feb '03

11 Feb '03

Hi, Curious to know: What do you think of the C3 offerings from cwlinux? Specifically I am looking to start quickly, so I am wanting to get a board pre-installed. I like best the M787CL+ boards with the 1Ghz C3 processor. I guess my real question is: Should I be looking at a DOC model or the "Local Disk" model which doesn't use a DOC(correct?)? I do and don't want just a turn key board, so I want one that works now, but I would like to be able to work on it or change things as I get more associated with the linuxbios. Can the non-DOC boards be flashed? Also, fast boot time is the key for me; which mode would be the best, and should I look at a different board/processor? Would CF->IDE adapter with the boot system on it help with this? Thanks! --minuo minuo(a)mac.com

Hi,ron Sorry,the correct config is updated. This is my config file and I writed 0x7c00 to registers to enable all embedded devices. I also added the support of loading initrd.gz from DOC.(LOAD_INITRD_FROM_MIL) Thanks. riskin # Sample config file for PCCHIPS m758lmr+ with DoC Millennium (as root) # This will make a target directory of m758lmr+ target /opt/cwlinux/buildrom/m758lmr+ # PCCHIPS m758lmr+ mainboard pcchips/m758lmr+ # Enable Serial Console for debugging option SERIAL_CONSOLE=1 # enable debugging support option DEBUG=1 # enable serial post for debugging option SERIAL_POST=1 # set default consol loglevel option DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL=9 # enable floppy support # option MUST_ENABLE_FLOPPY # enable keyboard support # option NO_KEYBOARD # use ELF boot # option USE_ELF_BOOT=1 # enable RAM test # option RAMTEST # PIRQ tables option HAVE_PIRQ_TABLE=1 # I8259 INITITIAL option I8259=1 # don't use old kernel hack option OLD_KERNEL_HACK=1 # Enable MicroCode update and L2 Cache init for PII and PIII option UPDATE_MICROCODE=1 option CONFIGURE_L2_CACHE=1 option ENABLE_FIXED_AND_VARIABLE_MTRRS=1 # Use the internal VGA frame buffer device #option HAVE_FRAMEBUFFER=1 # Path to your kernel (vmlinux) linux /opt/cwlinux/linux option DISABLE_INTERNAL_DEVICES=1 #support loading initrd option LOAD_INITRD_FROM_MIL=1 # Kernel command line parameters # enable serial console commandline auto BOOT_IMAGE=Image root=100 ramdisk=26000 console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 BOOTSTEP=0 BOOTDEVICE=fla1 #commandline root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk=14000 init=/linuxrc console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 #commandline root=/dev/nftla1 console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 video=sisfb:640x480-8@60,font:VGA8x16 # disable serial console #commandline root=/dev/nftla1 console=/dev/tty5 CONSOLE=/dev/tty5 video=sisfb:640x480-8@60,font:VGA8x16 docipl northsouthbridge/sis/630/ipl.S #option USE_DOC_2000_TSOP=1 option USE_DOC_MIL=1

Hi,ron The IRQ of sis900 NIC embedded in the mainboad isn't zero,and it can work normally.But the IRQ of rtl8139 NIC in pci sockets (including socket #1, socket #2,socket #3 ) is zero.It seems that these devices are not configed by the kernel,either I set "direct" or "any" mode to probe pci devices. lspci: 00:00.0 Class 0600: 1039:0630 (rev 30) 00:00.1 Class 0101: 1039:5513 (rev d0) 00:01.0 Class 0601: 1039:0008 00:01.1 Class 0200: 1039:0900 (rev 84) 00:01.2 Class 0c03: 1039:7001 (rev 07) 00:01.3 Class 0c03: 1039:7001 (rev 07) 00:01.4 Class 0401: 1039:7018 (rev 02) 00:01.6 Class 0703: 1039:7013 (rev a0) 00:02.0 Class 0604: 1039:0001 00:0b.0 Class 0200: 10ec:8139 (rev 10) 00:0f.0 Class 0401: 13f6:0111 (rev 10) 00:0f.1 Class 0780: 13f6:0211 (rev 20) 01:00.0 Class 0300: 1039:6300 (rev 21) I am confused by it.

DoC Error
by Paulo Richards 10 Feb '03

10 Feb '03

ioctl(MEMGETINFO): Inappropriate ioctl for device What does this means?, The DoC was working ok, (i used to be able to erase, format, burn, etc), but after i change the kernel (for the Cwlinux developer one), it's stop working, i can't erase (seems ok, but don't erase), format (give me the mentioned error), and not burn. I change back the kernel to my old one, and the same error happens. So, what happend? I'm forgetting somethig (i don't think so, i'm doing the same than before), or the DoC blows up? Thanx Paulo Richards

Ok,I will try it by setting "direct" mode. My linuxbios version don't support CONFIG_COMPRESS option. I have get it from the cwlinux packages. So,I have checked out the latest cvs version,but I failed to compile it successfully. The file "Liuxbios_c.o" failed to resolve symbol "console_tx_al" and "console_tx_hex8" in the "_start" function when my linker linked these files.Maybe somewhere goes wrong.

Booting VxWorks from LinuxBios
by Felix Radensky 09 Feb '03

09 Feb '03

Hi, folks I'm trying to boot our VxWorks based application from using LinuxBios. On our board we have 512K Flash and 16M CF. VxWorks image is several megs in size, so I put it on CF. I use linuxbios and VxWorks boot loader, which is essentially a stripped down VxWorks kernel with 32-byte a.out header removed, to create a flash romimage. The idea is to let linuxbios load VxWorks boot loader into memory and let it load VxWorks from CF. Essentially, I've simply mimicked the romimage creation steps, just instead of linux kernel I use VxWorks bootloader. I can see that bootloader is successfully uncompressed into RAM, but nothing happens after I jump to it's code. According to VxWorks docs, bootloader should be copied to address 0x8000. I've tried to modify do_inflate.c and linuxbiosmain.c to load and jump to this address, but gunzip returned error. Now the question. Do you think this approach can work, or I am I doing something entirely wrong ? Should I convert a.out image of VxWorks bootloader into binary image. Can I modify linuxbios code to allow VxWorks boot loader to be loaded at 0x8000 ? Any other ideas will be much appreciated. TIA. Felix.
