Hi all,
I dont want to disturb you with newbie things, but this is a way to start like another.
I am trying to monitor the boot process of a computer, mainly BIOS POST codes and linux kernel boot process. I know how to do it for the linux kernel using a serial port, but I am not able to imagine how to monitor the BIOS POST codes.
I know that almost every BIOS sends them to the ISA I/O address 0080h, but, how can I get that codes using another computer? I mean, without POST ISA/PCI card, using another computer connected to it via SMBUS, LPC or serial?
Is there any way to convert LPC to serial and monitor that port?
I want to do this with a VIA P700 motherboard, is this board supported by the coreboot v3?
Could be easy to redirect BIOS POST codes to a serial port using a coreboot implementation?
Thanks in advance,
Antonio
