FYI, I've added a few pages to the wiki with some high-level information on the internals of SeaBIOS: http://seabios.org/Developer_Documentation This is still a work in progress. -Kevin

You're changing the behavior for 80h on the power management function, which is function 3. The register is "PMBA—POWER MANAGEMENT BASE ADDRESS" and it is indeed initialized by SeaBIOS in piix4_pm_setup (src/fw/pciinit.c). Michael, perhaps a part of pci_setup (same file) should run on S3 resume? Paolo

seabios release planning
by Gerd Hoffmann 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hi, qemu 1.7 is almost out of the door. I want update seabios early in the 1.8 devel cycle. Time to do resume the release planning since we've scratched the idea to do a last-minute bios update for 1.7. I'd like to see a seabios release from the master branch in december. Ideally we'll put a prerelease into qemu before the final release so we get some testing. We could either explicitly tag a release candidate or just grab a snapshot for that. Commit pending patches, enter seabios freeze, prepare seabios update for qemu can be done next week I think. Then have 2-3 weeks freeze period, tag final release before xmas. In case something doesn't go as planned early january. Pending patches: * my ahci and pci patches sent this week. * anything else? How we wanna call the baby? 1.7.4? 1.8.0? cheers, Gerd

Maybe this is not fault SeaBIOS only coreboot?
