[LinuxBIOS] Added mainboard commell/lv671 and compile works, but ...

[Dieter Bloms]

      Hi,

I added my new board to mainboards and successfully compile with
northbridge i855pm and i82801dbm southbridge.

After flashing and reboot I get beep beep beep 2 times per second.
And there is nothing to see on serial output.

I know, that the i855pm is not fully supported and I'm waiting for the
patches from Joe, but I thought the serial console may work without it.

Maybe someone is willing to check my config so far.
The most stuff is stolen from digitallogic/adl855pc directory.

It would be nice to get the serial console to work in the first step, so
I can see what is wrong with the other stuff.

I've uploaded a tar.gz to:

http://www.bloms.de/download/commel_lv671.tar.gz

It is only 9K big ;)

Thank you for your help.

      Hello,

Here is a copy of the change log that I have made to the i82801db. I  
am still working on my northbridge and have not been able to test it.  
Can someone make the changes and test for me?

it does compile, but I can not see anything on the serial console.
So I think there is something wrong with my config, because about 5
seconds after power on it beeps and beeps and beeps .... two time per

Sounds like maybe the superio is not quite working. What kind of chip is it?

Hmm, on the LB website there is a big ? next to the winbond W83627HF,  
Has anyone else had sucess wih this chip?

I'm pretty confident that it should work, haven't tried it myself
though.

The W83627HF code works for me. I have 2 out of 3 platforms that use it 
working. The third platform has a problem on the serial lines. I am 99% 
sure that this is a hardware issue. I think that serial power supply is 
out of spec.

the serial console works, when I boot linux.
I think I made a mistake while write the Config.lb or auto.c file.

When should I see anything on the console ?
Must all chips already be up, so the northbridge i855gm may be the
problem, or is the winbond the only chip, which should be up to the
anything on the console ?

I don't know where to search now.

Is your target using the correct superio driver in auto.c? It's not
enough to set it in Config.lb (unfortunately)

Is the SuperIO maybe listening on 4e instead of 2e?

Ok. This is bad. To some extent. Your southbridge is an ICH4, right?
I will go read the ICH4 data sheet some more on thursday to figure
something out.

I have a very similar problem with a very similar board, but I did not
try 4e yet. Chances are that it's a similar problem.

do you mean a pci or isa card, with two digit display ?
A friend of me has an isa card, but my board doesn't have any isa slot.
It only has one pci slot (ok two with a riser card).

So I don't have a post card.

from the manual it is a winbond W83627HF-AW, but I can't find any chip
with those characters on it.
I found two chips, which may be a superio controller:

board for a chip close
 to bios chip and the ports)
 from the manual it is a winbond W83627HF-AW, but I can't find any chip
 with those characters on it.
 I found two chips, which may be a superio controller:

 "AL0655 4C229T1 5012D" and "ICS UA 831293 0436 950211BF"
Neither of these are it, the first one I think you meant "ALC", which is
an audio controller, and the other is a p4 timing chip. Keep looking,
here's some popular manufacturers of Super IOs (which would be named on
the chip):

Winbond
SMSC
ITE
NSC
Fintek

These are just the ones with support in LBv2 and are very common, but
there are more out there.

Most likely it is eithor a Winbond or SMSC, I have found these are the  
most popular on Intel P4 boards.

  I will go read
the ICH4 data sheet some more on thursday to figure
 something out.
 
 I have a very similar problem with a very similar board, but I did not
 try 4e yet. Chances are that it's a similar problem.
 
 hopefully.
 
 Many thanks for your support !
 
Ok, I have something for a quick try. Can you add the following code to
auto.c and try enabling serial once with 2e and once with 4e afterwards?

You might have to adapt the PCI ID of the south bridge's LPC interface
device (24cc in the below example)

The code won't patch, but it should serve as a template

Just so we see whether this makes it work.

I used 24c0, because of:

00:1f.0 ISA bridge [0601]: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL (ICH4/ICH4-L) LPC Interface
Bridge [8086:24c0] (rev 02)

  Just so we see whether this makes it work.
no it doesn't work neither with 2e nor with 4e :(

I think I have something total wrong with my config.

I have tared my stuff, maybe someone is willing to have a look at it:

Pity! Then this is not the only problem at least. I am sure it is
required on ICH4 based boards though as ICH4 does not decode any superio
at poweron. More at a later time.

Please always post (signed-off) patches, tarballs are hard to review and
comment on. 

In Config.lb you have

  option ROM_SIZE=512*1024+128*1024

which looks wrong. ROM_SIZE is the size of your chip, which is
probably 512*1024.

Issue 2:

  option USE_FALLBACK_IMAGE=0

should probably be set to 1. If you only use one image it has to be the
fallback image AFAIK, otherwise it won't work.


Other than that I cannot spot any obvious problems with the code, it
_should_ work, usually...

Are you sure your hardware setup is working otherwise? Can you leave the
null-modem cable attached as it is right now, but boot a normal Linux
system on both ends of the cable? Then run minicom, 115200 BAUD on both
sides, and test whether the trasmission itself works?

Do you use real serial ports or some USB-to-serial thingy? I had some
problems with these devices in the past, a real serial port might be
more reliable...

The south bridge code needs not only the SuperIO ports enabled but also
the COM1/COM2 ports. I think Corey's unified ICH code does this.

it works, because my system is connected via wlan and sometimes the
driver hangs up.
Then I log in via serial cable and reload the driver.

yes there are real serial drivers on both sides.

ok, I will do it in future.

 which looks wrong. ROM_SIZE is the size of your chip, which is

without +128*1024 I got a to liddle rom file, but I will correct this
and will see, where to change values to get the right rom sizes.
I saw this by another motherboards like tyan/s2850 board

I think you need something like this:

option FALLBACK_SIZE=ROM_SIZE

Yeah, this sizing stuff is highly confusing and unintuitive. It will all
be gone in LinuxBIOSv3 which will be a lot easier to use...
