I think that's the same vendor ID as the Pixel, so perhaps the Pixel VGA bios in "snm_2137.dat" in "3rdparty/mainboard/google/link" will work?

Hello Paul, David,

 

I have the same problem with VGA, I am looking into my coreboot settings:

 

CONFIG_VGA_ROM_RUN=y

CONFIG_VGA_BIOS=y

CONFIG_VGA_BIOS_ID="8086,0166"

CONFIG_VGA_BIOS_FILE="./src/vbios.bin"

 

I do not see any of: vbios.bin or vgabios.bin in directory src/ I am using Cougar Canyon 2 or equivalent which is Emerald Lake 2.

 

What PCIe VGA should I use (I think I know how to discover this one)?

How I can get vbios.bin for these boards (I assume the vbios.bin) is the same for both of them?

 

Thank you,

Zoran

What board do you use?

If coreboot successfully runs the VGA BIOS/Option ROM (and if it is
needed), GRUB 2 should be able to display text on the monitor. I am
successfully doing that on the ASRock E350M1.

Do you get graphics with SeaBIOS as a payload and letting SeaBIOS run
the VGA BIOS/Option ROM?

That should work. Do you get serial output with coreboot? Do you get
serial output from the GRUB installed on your hard disk?

 

Does TankTang also need to set GRUB_GFXMODE (ie GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480) in grub.cfg?
