Problems with PCEngines Alix 2C3 with HEAD

[Duncan]

Hi all,

I've been testing the PCEngines Alix 2C3 board with Coreboot 
bcf9a0a7ab337f9361d58f88ca7510fa42f8aaf5.

I've come across a couple of problems though.

1. Coreboot compiles with no problems for the board, configuration file 
attached [i].
2. Flashrom pretty much works for probe, erase, read, and write 
operations internally (unfortunately, I forgot to save a log).
3. However, Coreboot appears to not really work, log attached. [ii].

However, I'm not sure to what extent it is working. I only get serial 
output from Coreboot to that point. There's no evidence SeaBIOS started.

I'm not sure if SeaBIOS is configured to use serial console 
automatically, but my understanding is that the options I selected in 
menuconfig there should be sufficient to configure it to do so anyway; 
however, if this is an incorrect understanding please correct me.

All the best,
Duncan

Hello Duncan,

There was a SeaBIOS upgrade from 1.10.x to 1.11.x some time ago.
As You maybe already figured out, SeaBIOS needs to be configured to use
serial
console from now on. Try adding the following file to CBFS image by doing:

cbfstool coreboot.rom add-int -i <port> -n etc/sercon-port

The serial port should be 0x3f8.

I have some ALIX boards at hand, but I did not build a coreboot image
for quite some
time. They may be other issues before SeaBIOS gets loaded.

Let me know if that helped. Also try to recompile with loglevel SPEW so that
I could tell anything more and if everything is allright.

Regards,
Michał
