Hi ! Ive just joined the mailing list, to see if it is possible to get an Asus G1 (laptop) use coreboot.
I recently killed my bios doing some experiments, so i desoldered the chip, and put a nice socket. (it is a PLCC32). Also i have the equipment needed to program this chip, so no worries there.
Details :
- Laptop : Asus G1 , first revisions. IMPORTANT NOTE: Video card is a Geforce Go 7700 512MB, and video bios is integrated as a module in bios rom (amibios) - Attached lspci outpu - No super io chip (it seems) - PLCC32 SST49LF004B (49LF004B-33-4C-NH Rev CA, according to specs it is lpc/fwh) - Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS - South Bridge : ICH7 Family
- Bios : http://ivn.cl/software/asus_g1.rom (read with flasrom)
Actually, running linux 64bits, with no problems. (i just want a fater startup, and see if there is any way to break the memory remapping function non existant in asus rom... 4GB ram installed, only 2.9 Usable , and... try some other OS)
Thanks :)

Maybe. You could try a coreboot image for kontron/986lcd-m and see if you get any serial output. But please check where the serial port is on the kontron board, it may be on a superio, which may not be available on the G1 - in that case you need another debug output method..

The G1 does not have any serial port :/ (and havent find any on the mainboard).
I guess the screen output will have problems due to the integrated video rom... Is there any way to initialize video in this cases ?

I'm afraid video is useless for debugging. It is enabled as the very last thing coreboot does. You need to be able to follow every step of coreboot as it runs.
Are there any other usable signals on the board? One bit is enough.
If you have budget for a PromICE it can interpret sequences of reads from the (emulated) flash chip as a debug write.
Or if you have VHDL skills and a bit of free time, you can add that functionality to the Artec LPC dongle or your favorite FPGA devkit.

MMMh.... Need to check that. What kind of signals can be of use ? leds ? or more low-level
If you have budget for a PromICE it can interpret sequences of reads from the (emulated) flash chip as a debug write.
Tried to find pricing on that... havent found one. Do you happen to know how much it costs ?

Interesting. However, that would require even more time xD I think i'll try the image you suggested soon, and see what it does. First i need to install another laptop to be the "programming station" in case everything goes wrong.

Hi,
I think this could be a good testcase for SerialICE http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot-announce/2009-June/000002.html
What do you think?

I think it's difficult to use SerialICE without a serial port. :\

Well... instead of keep trying to find a way to mentally use a serial port, ive decided this weekend to just give it a try.
Im compiling coreboot-v2 using FILO as a payload, and, integrating the video blob (rom) that ive got before. (and i was tinkering with).
1 weird thing :
after compiling coreboot-v2 (rev 4397) , the make file in coreboot-v2/targets/kontron/986lcd-m/kontron_986lcd_m incorrectly had ./cbfs/cbfstool ./coreboot.rom add-payload ../payload.elf fallback/payload $(CBFS_COMPRESS_FLAG) (../payload.elf) in line 43. This made make complain about ../payload.elf beign an unknown target, and if put it there, cbfstool complained about not finding it. Just replaced with ./payload.elf.
I'll be tinkering with the dsdt.asl , to see if i can get my own for my laptop now.
Tomorrow (or the day after) i'll be opening my laptop yet again for cleaning. i'll let you know if i killed the laptop.. if it did something... or if it did nothing, but still looked cool :D
PS: I think (just think) it shoulndt matter if im using the laptop screen (lvds) or external monitor (dvi/vga) right ? or should i use only the lvds screen ? PS1: In the event that coreboot loads, and filo does get executed but no screen or there is no visible sign of "work"... what could be a good idea to try ? (added some specs in the end of this mail) PS2: The SST 49LF004B is 4mbit (512KB). How can i know what is the max size and type of chip i can put on it ? ive seen someone using a SST 49LF160C on a motherboard that also used the 49LF004B.
My laptop has the following put on :
- 4GB Ram = 2x2GB same brand,speed,timings. Also have to test 2X512MB same everything. - SSD Disk on Sata port 1. - Cdrom unit on Ide port 1. - Compact flash adapter on pcmcia port - PCI sd/mmc reader (ricoh) - Integrated r8169 network card. - Integrated modem (dont know which.. never used it) - lots of extra leds. - USB ports... i have Lots of USB adapters.. serial, parallel (only printer mode), eth, bluetooth (integrated), oled display (integrated), etc.
Ive contacted the vendor (Asus) many times before on the issue of bios recovery. They are not helpful on anything beside windows/software problems. (more than that... they havent been able to tell me how to access the bootblock on my bios, because some asus-media feature kicks in first)

Maybe. You could try a coreboot image for kontron/986lcd-m and see if you get any serial output. But please check where the serial port is on the kontron board, it may be on a superio, which may not be available on the G1 - in that case you need another debug output method..
First hickup : flashrom is able to read from the flash chip.. but cannot erase/write it.
I'll have to do all the procedure with the programmer.

Please run flashrom -V to get more debugging info. Maybe it's possible to add a board enable for the system, but I somehow doubt it.

[root@G1 ~]# flashrom -V Calibrating delay loop... 268M loops per second, 100 myus = 198 us. OK. No coreboot table found. Found chipset "Intel ICH7M", enabling flash write... BIOS Lock Enable: disabled, BIOS Write Enable: enabled, BIOS_CNTL is 0x1

This basically says all lights are green, and writing isn't stopped in any way by the chipset.
It would be interesting if you could measure voltage on the flash chip pins 7 and 8. GND is on pin 16 and 28. Pin 1 is top center by the small mark on the chip, numbering is counter clockwise.

Thats just with the laptop on, or when trying to read/write using flashrom ? I'll be able to do this later tonight (or tomorrow) when i finally make the test.

Just with the laptop on is fine for starters, but it would be interesting to watch them also while running flashrom. (Just flashrom without any flags is ok.)

Hi ! Ive just joined the mailing list, to see if it is possible to get an Asus G1 (laptop) use coreboot.
I recently killed my bios doing some experiments, so i desoldered the chip, and put a nice socket. (it is a PLCC32). Also i have the equipment needed to program this chip, so no worries there.
Details :
- Laptop : Asus G1 , first revisions. IMPORTANT NOTE: Video card is a
Geforce Go 7700 512MB, and video bios is integrated as a module in bios rom (amibios)
- Attached lspci outpu
- No super io chip (it seems)
- PLCC32 SST49LF004B (49LF004B-33-4C-NH Rev CA, according to specs it is
lpc/fwh)
Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS
South Bridge : ICH7 Family
Bios : http://ivn.cl/software/asus_g1.rom (read with flasrom)
No go for this one :( Flashed coreboot v2 (kontron), added video rom, adjusted for 512KB. flashrom didnt work, so i used my programmer with the corresponding FWH/LPC+ adaptor.
System turned on. Blank screen.
Wasnt able to measure voltages on the chip socket, as my voltimeter battery died.. so it will be for another time.
