Issue #581 has been updated by Walter Sonius.
Mmmm very interesting... Wake On LAN its working for onboard ethernet 82579LM currently. However note that the PCI slot is occupied with a RTL8169 (no cable), the PCIe J32 1x slot has a 82574L (no cable) and the lowest PCIe 1x slot has a RTL8125 (no cable) all doing nothing...
I also didn't have to disable the fake wake events in /proc/acpi/wakeup, maybe because the machine was on for a longer time and fell asleep itself instead of me forcing it?
My guess is that these other PCI(e) devices doing nothing keep on some bus/power states during sleep which allows to wakeup up via the onboard ethernet? Will measure the Watt usage during 2nd sleep wake on lan event and let you know, previously without all the PCI(e) devices it was around 15Watt idle and 0Watt sleep.
---------------------------------------- Support #581: success new variant "compaq_pro_6300_sff" for hp/snb_ivb_desktops compatible with "compaq_8300_elite_sff" template https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/581#change-2011
* Author: Walter Sonius * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Category: board support * Target version: none * Start date: 2025-03-15 ---------------------------------------- Successful flash and coreboot SeaBIOS functioning of a HP "compaq_pro_6300_sff" with a unchanged "compaq_8300_elite_sff" template using coreboot (24.12-758-g1e7ba810c6bb) and SeaBIOS (version rel-1.16.3-0-ga6ed6b70).
These two HP Compaq devices are extremely similar, they use the same OEM proprietary BIOS upgrade files. Hardware wise the only 3 noticeable differences are that the "compaq_8300_elite_sff" comes with a Q77 chipset, SuperIO NPCD378 and J32 labeled 16x length "white" PCI-E slot versus a Q75 chipset, SuperIO NPCD379HAKFX with the J32 labeled slot populated with a limited physical 1x length "black" PCI-E slot on the "compaq_pro_6300_sff".
Flashing from OEM proprietary BIOS 3.08revA enabling the FDO jumper on the motherboard as described for the compaq_8300_elite_sff works by booting with "iomem=relaxed" kernel parameter and specifying the specific 16MB chip 25Q128A: flashrom -p internal -w cbtest.rom -c "MT25QL128"
Tested and Working: Poweron/Poweroff/Reboot CPU i3-3220 / e3-1225v2 RAM 1x 2x 4x populated slots total of 4GB/8GB/16GB/24GB (both 1.35v and 1.5v modules mixed with ECC) Serial port (including coreboot) PS2 keyboard (including SeaBIOS) PS2 mouse SATA 3 ports (blue/white/white) USB 2.0 4x front & 2x back ports USB 3.0 4x back ports Ethernet 1Gbit/100Mbit Display port works in SeaBIOS and OS VGA port only works in OS! PCI using realtek RTL8169 1Gb PCIE 3.0 16x using 2.0 8x 10Gb intel X540-AT2 / using 1.0 16x Nvidia Geforce 6200 LE (also works in SeaBIOS) PCIE 2.0 1x using 2.0 1x 2.5Gb realtek RTL8125 PCIE 2.0 1x using 1.0 1x 1Gb intel 82574L (SeaBIOS loads option rom) Audio built-in speaker (plays music in OS compared to legacy bleep pc-speaker) Audio front panel 3.5 mm headphone jack (auto disables built-in Speakers and selects Headphones) Audio front panel 3.5 mm headphone&mic jack (only microphone works with 4 pin 3.5mm combi mic/headphone) Audio back panel 3.5mm green jack (manually select Line Out and it works) Sensors CPU and 2 motherboard sensors SuperIO Booting USB / SATA(HDD/DVD) OS: Fedora-mate Linux kernel 6.11.4 / 6.13.6, KDE neon Linux kernel 6.8.0-52 Flashrom: needs additional parameters compared to OEM BIOS both for read/write depending on flashrom version?
flashrom -p internal:boardmismatch=force,ich_spi_mode=hwseq -w test.rom -c "Opague flash chip"
Tested not Working: RAM ECC functioning (see coreboot log) SATA port black Wakeonlan, it just auto wakes from itself so cannot verify... iGPU multigpu with PCIE nvidia geforce 6200 le, only PCIE nvidia geforce works and iGPU gets disabled.
What to do next to get this "compaq_pro_6300_sff" variant officially supported?
*Supply more logs/info? *Fill a bug for the ECC not working or first get this variant supported as is? *Fill a bug that VGA doesn't work in SeaBIOS? *Fill a bug/ticket on the flashrom support list for the difference in parameters needed pre/post flash?
