my target board (MSM800BEV)
It would really be nice if you could help make this target work with the updated coreboot sources.
I would really like to do this job, but unfortunately I currently work on the quite urgent project and I don't enough time and energy to join to another project.
I consider this to be the same project. You are using coreboot after all.
Anyway, I am impressed with your work and I hope that I will be able to help in the future.
You can help, right now. I am pretty sure it will be a lot less work than writing your own bootloader.
I've decided to write my own code to execute bootstrap from MBR. At this moment I test the functions which are responsible for ATA protocol support.
As I am sure you already know there are already several ATA drivers in the coreboot ecosystem. SeaBIOS even supports DMA, which has major impact on boot speed.
Can you show us boot logs from your working version and from the very latest version?
I'm going to do this as soon as possible.
That's good. It is absolutely neccessary for you to get any help at all. Of course there is no guarantee that anyone can help immediately.
