K-TEK-M275TP-FN-BL-ML USB keyboard support
by Аладышев Константин 28 Apr '18

28 Apr '18

Hello! I'm having problems with K-TEK-M275TP-FN-BL-ML keyboard (http://www.key-tek.cn/Productview.asp?id=777). It is USB device with keyboard and touchpad combined. It works in OS correctly, but doesn't work in SeaBIOS. I've tried to debug this issue and found that "usb_kbd_setup" function fails on "(epdesc->wMaxPacketSize != 8)" check, cause "epdesc->wMaxPacketSize" is actually 32. I've modified this "if" statement to pass 32 value also and now function completes successfully. But it didn't help to solve my issue. There are no interrupts from keyboard, "ehci_poll_intr" always returns -1 on check: if (token & QTD_STS_ACTIVE) { // No intrs found. return -1; } I don't know what to do now. What should I check next? Does SeaBIOS support USB keyboard+touchpad devices at all?

[PATCH 0/4] RFC: add CRB TPM device
by marcandre.lureau＠redhat.com 12 Feb '18

12 Feb '18

From: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau(a)redhat.com> Hi, The following series implements a limited TPM CRB driver. The TIS device with a TPM 2.0 seems to be ignored by Windows 10, so I implemented a simple CRB device that I will send shortly on the qemu-devel. With the CRB device, Windows 10 correctly recognized and exchange with a TPM 2.0. As long as the device isn't in qemu, I suppose this series should remain RFC. Feedback welcome!

Saving a few bytes across a reboot
by Stefan Berger 08 Feb '18

08 Feb '18

Kevin, is it possible to save a few bytes, a pointer, across a reboot? I have tried to do this by allocating a memory chunk in the fsegement and storing the pointer there surrounded by 2 'magic' 32 bit values. When trying to find the magic values on reboot early in handle_post() it doesn't seem to find them anymore. Is there another memory segment where SeaBIOS could store the few bytes and find them again? Regards, Stefan

[Question] Debug Seabios by GDB with Qemu
by Liu, Jing2 08 Feb '18

08 Feb '18

Hello, I am using Seabios for qemu startup, and interested in the debugging by GDB to see how the bios works. Currently, I do it as https://www.seabios.org/Debugging said but met some problems so that couldn't move on. :( Could someone give some pointers on what I missed or have to do to enable the gdb debugging? Note: Arch: x86_64 PC CONFIG_DEBUG_SERIAL is enabled. CONFIG_RELOCATE_INIT is disabled. 1. After Qemu starts, I run "gdb out/rom32seg.o" in another session, and do "target remote localhost:1234", it warns me that "Selected architecture i386 is not compatible with reported target architecture i386:x86_64". But I didn't find any 64bit rom. 2. I can't set any breakpoints (e.g. maininit), because "Function maininit not defined". So where does seabios put the symbol table? And how to break the seabios functions when qemu starts? Looking forward to your response! Thanks, Jing

[PATCH] Fixes to the floppy driver, so it works on real (not emulated) hardware
by Nikolay Nikolov 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

Several fixes to the floppy driver, so it works on a real floppy controller with a real floppy. Tested with Coreboot on a motherboard with an ITE IT8712 Super I/O chip (and its built-in floppy controller) and a 1.44MB floppy. Only one floppy is supported for now and only 1.44MB, but more formats will be added in the future.

coreboot: modifying seabios bootenter list dynamically
by Francesco Lucconi 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

I'm looking for a simple method that enables a dynamic way to select one of the several options listed into CBFS bootorder file but unfortunatelly I'm finding out that this file is static and it could be edited and configured just on build time. My specific goal is about a dynamic OS bootstrapping or via USB storage device or via pci netcard automatically without pressing any keyboard buttons. (the auto mode is guaranteed with a gpio signal that it is switches between these 2 scenarios.) Is it correct? Do you know if I can use it differently?

[PATCH] build: allow setting tools path from the environment
by Roger Pau Monne 31 Jan '18

31 Jan '18

Allow setting the path to as, ld, objcopy, objdump, strip and python from the environment. This is required for building SeaBIOS on FreeBSD, which will switch the default ld to lld very soon, and lld is not capable of building SeaBIOS at the moment. Building SeaBIOS on FreeBSD after the switch to lld will require setting LD=/path/to/gnu/ld at build time.

[PATCH RFC] x86: use volatile asm for read/write{b, w, l} implementations
by Vitaly Kuznetsov 22 Jan '18

QEMU/KVM guests running nested on top of Hyper-V fail to boot with virtio-blk-pci disks, the debug log ends with Booting from Hard Disk... call32_smm 0x000edd01 e97a0 handle_smi cmd=b5 smbase=0x000a0000 vp notify fe007000 (2) -- 0x0 vp read fe005000 (1) -> 0x0 handle_smi cmd=b5 smbase=0x000a0000 call32_smm done 0x000edd01 0 Booting from 0000:7c00 call32_smm 0x000edd01 e97a4 handle_smi cmd=b5 smbase=0x000a0000 vp notify fe007000 (2) -- 0x0 In resume (status=0) In 32bit resume Attempting a hard reboot ... I bisected the breakage to the following commit: commit f46739b1a819750c63fb5849844d99cc2ab001e8 Author: Kevin O'Connor <kevin(a)koconnor.net> Date: Tue Feb 2 22:34:27 2016 -0500 virtio: Convert to new PCI BAR helper functions But the commit itself appears to be correct. The problem is in how writew() function compiles into vp_notify(). For example, if we drop 'volatile' qualifier from the current writew() implementation everything starts to work. If we disassemble these two versions (as of f46739b1a) the difference will be: 00000000 <vp_notify>: With 'volatile' (current) Without 'volatile' 0: push %ebx 0: push %ebx 1: mov %eax,%ecx 1: mov %eax,%ecx 3: mov 0x1518(%edx),%eax 3: mov 0x1518(%edx),%eax 9: cmpb $0x0,0x2c(%ecx) 9: cmpb $0x0,0x2c(%ecx) d: je 2f <vp_notify+0x2f> d: je 2e <vp_notify+0x2e> f: mov 0x151c(%edx),%edx f: mov 0x151c(%edx),%edx 15: mov 0x28(%ecx),%ebx 18: imul %edx,%ebx 15: imul 0x28(%ecx),%edx 1b: mov 0x8(%ecx),%edx 19: mov 0x8(%ecx),%ebx 1e: add %ebx,%edx 20: cmpb $0x0,0xe(%ecx) 1c: cmpb $0x0,0xe(%ecx) 24: je 2a <vp_notify+0x2a> 20: je 28 <vp_notify+0x28> 22: add %ebx,%edx 26: out %ax,(%dx) 24: out %ax,(%dx) 28: jmp 48 <vp_notify+0x48> 26: jmp 47 <vp_notify+0x47> 2a: mov %ax,(%edx) 28: mov %ax,(%ebx,%edx,1) 2d: jmp 48 <vp_notify+0x48> 2c: jmp 47 <vp_notify+0x47> 2f: lea 0x20(%ecx),%ebx 2e: lea 0x20(%ecx),%ebx 32: cltd 31: cltd 33: push %edx 32: push %edx 34: push %eax 33: push %eax 35: mov $0x2,%ecx 34: mov $0x2,%ecx 3a: mov $0x10,%edx 39: mov $0x10,%edx 3f: mov %ebx,%eax 3e: mov %ebx,%eax 41: call 42 <vp_notify+0x42> 40: call 41 <vp_notify+0x41> 46: pop %eax 45: pop %eax 47: pop %edx 46: pop %edx 48: pop %ebx 47: pop %ebx 49: ret 48: ret My eyes fail to see an obvious compiler flaw here but probably the mov difference (at '2a' old, '28' new) is to blame.
