ASRock E350M1 as demo board for FrOSCon?

[Carl-Daniel Hailfinger]

Hi,

I'll be at FrOSCon next weekend in St. Augustin (near Bonn, Germany) to
show off coreboot, and I need a demo board. Buying an ASRock E350M1 is
easy (the local computer shop has that board in stock), but I don't know
the current state of the tree, and I don't have any matching spare flash
chips, nor do I have a demo-capable ROM image.

Things I'd appreciate:
- A ready-made ROM image with coreboot+SeaBIOS, preferably able to boot
from SATA and USB.
- A flash chip which has the right form factor for the board. Is anyone
in Germany able to send one or two of them to me via postal mail (will pay)?

Thanks in advance,
Carl-Daniel

Hi,

does anyone have a working ASRock E350M1 coreboot image with SeaBIOS?
I hope to demo that board this weekend at the FrOSCon conference.

Thanks in advance,
Carl-Daniel

Hello Carl-Daniel,

Here is one from LinuxTag:
http://notabs.org/coreboot/peter/asrock-e350m1-003
Probably NIC doesn't work, but I think this one does work with USB boot.

Thanks,
Scott

Peter can correct me, if I am wrong, but as far as I remember booting
from USB did not work on LinuxTag because the option was not enabled.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Scott,

thanks a lot for the image! I'll try and report back.

ASRock E350M1 demo image needed!

Hi Scott,

a big THANK YOU for that image. I'm booting a openSUSE 11.4 (64bit) from
a SATA DVD drive and that works just fine.

Things I noticed:
- NIC doesn't even show up in lspci
- Linux complains about missing info for HD Audio
- Linux complains about ACPI weirdnesses
- Serial port shows no messages, but the serial port works under Linux
just fine

Regards,
Carl-Daniel

I attempted to fix the missing NIC problem a while back. It is due to
improper PCIe configuration. While the fix worked, there is some evidence it
is responsible for a new legacy USB boot fail problem.

]- Linux complains about missing info for HD Audio

I am not familiar with this problem. It is likely the interrupt routing is
not reported correctly though.

The serial port logging is turned off because I was using that image for
fast boot testing. Boot from hardware reset to DOS prompt using an SSD drive
takes 600 or 700 ms as I remember. You could use the patch to recreate the
source code and then enable logging.

I believe with this image, the IDE interface is hidden and only the AHCI
interface at device 11h is visible. This was done because Windows boot is
slowed greatly by an IDE interface unless all drive positions are populated.
So be sure to enable AHCI when building SeaBIOS.
