I then tested again on another S50: Backed up the factory ROM image, flashed my coreboot.rom, then flashed again with the factory ROM image - that box is still working. When I find my PLCC puller, I will try to revive the bricked S50.
A quick status update here - I found my PLCC puller!
My Tiny Core Linux flashrom rig is definitely working - I revived the bricked S50 by flashing a factory image to it.
(Then I bricked it again hehe)
Success!
Haha silly me - I don't think they were bricked at all… as fijam wrote on his blog posting, the power button and LED don't work with coreboot. I had forgotten about this. I connected up a serial cable and saw that it was starting coreboot! Then I watched NanoBSD boot (with NO pcib hangs!!) and was able to ssh into it.
Only problem so far is FreeBSD complaining about an interrupt storm on IRQ 10 when I have the serial port connected. Hm.
Anyway, this is fantastic!!! :D
When you get it all sorted, can you get us enlightened folks some more detailed instructions how to get it all to build :)
