filo and usb boot

[Masoud Fatollahy]

Hi,

Why is it problem to boot from an usb port when we are using linuxbios and 
filo. as I can see all usb code are there, what is missing?

Thanks,

/Masoud

Debugging and EHCI support I believe.

Coreboot and stand alone filo

[Masoud Fatollahy]

Hi,

I am trying to make coreboot v4 works with a old version of filo(stand 
alone).

I build the coreboot and definde a paload which has been build with an old 
filo which is not using payloadlib of the coreboot. 
when filo try to read the linuxbios table , but it can not find the 
signaturr LBIO. and it hangs.

Do i have to use filo and payloadlib of the coreboot, or is it a way to fix 
this problem. we don't want to have any depency between coreboot and filo.

thanks,

/Masoud

Hi Masoud,

The coreboot table parser in older FILOs does not support the "FORWARD" tag

http://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/coreboot/browser/trunk/payloads/libpayload/...

I'd suggest that you use newer versions of FILO. However, implementing
support for that tag in older versions should be rather straight
forward, so you can give that a try, too..

thanks for the response,

I have downloaded the latest version of filo from Subversion with
$ svn co svn://coreboot.org/filo/trunk/filo

but this version requires the payloadlib of coreboot, it is what i don't 
want to use, is there any other version which doesn't requir 
coreboot/payload/payloadlib?

mv.h

Yes but you will have to fix it yourself, as I wrote in the other mail..

Coreboot and stand alone filo

[Masoud Fatollahy]

thanks again,

Now i have tested it with the new FILO together with coreboot and 
payloadlib, but get the same result. I can see that coreboot writing the 
table with the signature (LBIO) on  address: 0x00000500, but FILO can't find 
this signature when it search the address range.

what should i do? how can i debugg this? I print out the whole memory during 
the FILO search and can not see any LBIO signature.

regards,

/Masoud

Keep in mind that libpayload (note the name) is a distinct codebase
from coreboot and that libpayload is BSD licensed, so that custom
payloads can use it without the requirement to release them as open
source. The payload (FILO or whatever) is never linked with coreboot,
but is stored as a separate file in the flash chip, so this all works
fine wrt the GPL.

Why?

i think you can try the new version FILO which added lots of new features
that may help you.
Libpayload is an library which used for the payload programming, you can use
it without the coreboot. it's independent.
