There is a batch of black CH341A s which are giving 5V instead of 3.3V - which is dangerous for flashing - so please try to get a green CH341A. There are plenty of them available from AliExpress / China. And about the test clips, you can find a small review of different test clips here http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Flashing_a_BIOS_chip_with_Bus_Pirate (double check that your BIOS chip is SOIC8 shape, otherwise that will be useless for you). The build is not difficult, there are plenty of manuals available online + a helpful community as you see ;-) On Tue, Mar 14, 2023 at 2:41 PM <email(a)danwin1210.de> wrote: > > Thank you for reply. > > I found CH341A and SOIC8. > But CH341A is not green.

Introduction - GSoC
by Solomon Alan-Dei 15 Mar '23

15 Mar '23

Hey everyone, I am Solomon Alan-Dei from Ghana, West Africa. I look forward to participating in the upcoming GSoC and working on interesting projects in coreboot. coreboot has exciting projects that need little help and I’d be glad to contribute to any I choose to work on during GSoC period. I’m interested in low-level stuff and it’s even a plus that the coreboot community is welcoming to everyone who wants to be involved. It’s a pleasure to work with you! Best regards, Solomon.

I need you help.

Hello. I would like to install Coreboot on my Lenovo x230, but I don't know how to do that. Please tell me how to do it. I have done a lot of research on my own, but I just can't figure it out. I am not a computer educated person. I don't have a rasberry pie. Do I need it? And what are skulls and heads, and what is the difference between them and coreboot?

Quick question for Kconfig lint checking
by Prajapati, Pratikkumar V 14 Mar '23

14 Mar '23

Hello, Quick question for Kconfig lint checking! For my patch https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/71120, the Jenkins build fails with following error: "Check Kconfig files for errors (lint-stable-008-kconfig): #!!!!! Error: 'CONFIG_SOC_INTEL_COMMON_BLOCK_PRMRR_SIZE_2MB' selected at src/soc/intel/meteorlake/Kconfig:101. Symbols created in a choice cannot be selected" What is the rationale behind enforcing this? As of now, PRMRR Kconfig settings are in common code and i wanted to set the right size from SOC specific code. e.g. the patch i mentioned earlier. Should we get rid of enforcing "lint-stable-008-kconfig" test? If not what is the best way to achieve the scenario i mentioned above. One option i think is to simplify PRMRR Kconfig options (get rid of choice menu) and define PRMRR_SIZE config option in SOC specific code. But then all SOC specific code would have to define this Kconfig option. If some SOC does not need PRMRR then also the Kconfig option with default set 0 might be needed. Thanks for suggestions in advance. -- Regards, Pratik

Coreboot - Intel NUC
by Sandro 09 Mar '23

09 Mar '23

Hello, I am contacting you to ask for your opinion. Weeks ago I bought an Intel NUC 11 N5105 (BNUC11ATKC40002 ). Since this board does not have any SATA port, I thought that I could use a SilverStone SST-ECS07 connected to the M.2 slot. When I try to set up the sata adapter connected to my main PC ( ASUS Mainboard ROG Crosshair VIII Hero WI-FI), I have no problems seeing the drives and their partitions.... As soon as I try the same but in the NUC, then the drives are not found......lots of problems booting, and most of the time I am not even able to enter the original Intel BIOS. I reached the Intel discord server and I was able to get some feedback from a NUC team member. You can see the communication with him at: https://discord.com/channels/554824368740630529/1076245516406493195 He was able to confirm the same issues on his side, that it is a problem with this specific model BIOS. And that on other models it works. Sadly, he also gave me no realistic hopes of receiving a BIOS fix from Intel. Since I cannot return the products back I am really sad to have just wasted lots of money on these things and not being able to use them. This is when I came in contact with Coreboot.... this gave me a small light of hope.... Since I really do not know anything about this subject, neither if this would work on this specific motherboard..... I decided to ask for some opinions from you. Hopefully you could give me some good news :) Thank you very much and I wish you a good day. Best regards, Sandro

Is it possible to merge Gerrit accounts?
by Kevin Keijzer 06 Mar '23

06 Mar '23

Hello, I have been trying to add my e-mail address to my account on Gerrit, but I keep getting the error message it's already in use by a different account. I have always used GitHub OAuth to sign in, so I'm not sure what went wrong, but it looks like Gerrit has two user accounts for me: https://review.coreboot.org/q/owner:kkeijzer and https://review.coreboot.org/q/owner:kevin%2540quietlife.nl As I only have access to the former account and not to the latter - which does have my e-mail address associated with it - I was wondering if it would be possible to either merge these accounts, or remove the e-mail address from the old account. Note that I never wanted to send this to the general mailing list, but I don't know who the admins of Gerrit are. Otherwise I would have contacted you directly. Feel free to reply off-list to follow up. Thanks in advance. -- With kind regards, Kevin Keijzer
