Dear all,
From the WIKI's Asus A8N-E Build Tutorial:
"Currently PS/2 keyboards do not work, but USB keyboards do."
I can confirm that PS/2 still does not work. Unfortunately I do not have a USB keyboard anymore; once I tested it did not work, too.
Is this a A8N-E topic only? All other mainboards with that superio are without such a problem?
The A8N-E boots with coreboot-v2 and I could reach a console over the serial port from a second computer.
Is anyone investigating this behaviour?
Unfortunately I do not have C programming skills yet. I promise to learn, but I assume to do research-programming a mainboard is just a much higher level.
So thanks for all the good work until now and any answers to my topic!
First try to mail did not work.
Maybe this one makes it through... -------- Original-Nachricht --------

That's unclear, it may be that other boards are affected, but it's not certain that it's a pure Super I/O issue either.
It's on my TODO list to investigate this, and I have an A8N-E to test, but I didn't find the time to do it yet.
Uwe.

Uwe, thank you very much for your reply.
That sounds good! So patience is my goal... or learning C++ very fast. ;-)
I just feared that the work on the A8N-E board runs into a "dead-end".
A.f.a.i.k. the board was well sold as it was state-of-the-art some time ago and is therefor widely available (at least in my surrounding area).
Keep healthy!
Andy

You'd have to learn C. We don't use C++.
I just feared that the work on the A8N-E board runs into a "dead-end".
The big problem is that there are so many things to work on and we have enough work for at least 10 additional developers.
If you don't have time to learn C or want to start diving into coreboot right now, try this: My personal recommendation for getting familiar with the code is to read coreboot v2 logs. Read them for lots of different boards and especially for qemu. Compare them and try to find differences. Get a feeling for what is expected for a particular board. You don't have to understand the logs completely, the feeling is what matters. Then take some of the messages you think you understand and look them up in the code. Try to remember where in the source tree you found that message. The file name and path say something about the component for which the code/message was written. Then look at v3 logs and try to work out their structure.
If anything in the logs looks strange, ask the list. Most of us know the code so well that even if the messages in the log are not really understandable, we know what they mean and we can change them to be more readable/understandable.

Hello Carl-Daniel,
Thank you very much for your "starting guide".
I am gonna try it out. And hopefully, I can do some useful work for the project.
Is there a default storage repository for these "log files", or do I have to search within this mailing list for them?
I already built a qemu environment on my system and a qemu rom file. But it does not start yet. ...I have to further investigate the circumstance(s) for that.
So far, thanks again for your support.
Andy
