[PATCH] ps2port: adjust init routine to fix PS/2 keyboard issues
by Paul Menzel 21 May '20

21 May '20

From: Matt DeVillier <matt.devillier(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2016 14:21:58 -0500 PS/2 keyboards on Chromebooks with upstream coreboot + SeaBIOS often fail to init properly / register keystrokes. Modify ps2port init to match that of TianoCore, which doesn't have said issues.

[PATCH v2] build: use -fcf-protection=none when available
by Christian Ehrhardt 15 May '20

15 May '20

Some hardened gcc v9 compilers (such as the one in Ubuntu) default this option which for seabios leads to emulation errors when running in KVM (does not trigger in TCG) on older intel chips of the Penryn generation (~2006-2008). The symptom appears as endbr32/endbr64 interpretation failures and in KVM it looks like: KVM internal error. Suberror: 1 emulation failure EAX=00000000 EBX=00000000 ECX=000086d4 EDX=00000000 ESI=00000000 EDI=00000000 EBP=000086d4 ESP=00006d7c EIP=00007acf EFL=… [View More]

[PATCH] advanced_bootmenu: up to 35 entries (2 pages if >18), numpad support (console)
by Mike Banon 25 Apr '20

25 Apr '20

Add support for up to 35 boot menu entries (2 pages if >18). To solve the ">10" problem currently experienced by SeaBIOS users (there are no 11, 12, etc. keys on a keyboard - so impossible to choose the last menu entries if you got >10 entries because of multiple hard drives / secondary payloads / floppies) - the boot menu has been extended to the letter keys. NOTE: TPM menu has been moved from T to M letter: it is at the end of keyboard's 3rd row of letters and "Trusted" is adjective … [View More]while "Module" is a noun; alternatively could press '-'. Also, add support for a numpad. Small USB numpad could be really convenient for choosing the boot entries at coreboot boards used as (maybe headless) servers. '/' char on numpad could be used to open the boot menu or to exit it. If there are >10 boot menu entries - the numpad console interface will be enabled: press one or two digit keys and then ENTER to confirm your choice, or remove a digit by pressing the '.Del' key. Also you could call TPM with '-' key at any moment, or boot with a single key press of your fullsize keyboard. Signed-off-by: Mike Banon <mikebdp2 at gmail.com> (patch body is after the testing instructions below) This "advanced_bootmenu" patch is much more useful when used together with my "multiple_floppies" patch: [SeaBIOS] [PATCH v2] ramdisk: search for all available floppy images instead of one https://mail.coreboot.org/pipermail/seabios/2018-December/012670.html Sadly I haven't done the suggestions by Kevin (I have so many unfinished tasks) so the "multiple_floppies" patch is also not merged yet.

Custom-sized, large floppy images?
by Rafael Send 04 Apr '20

04 Apr '20

Hi, I'm working on stuffing a bootable Linux distro into coreboot. In QEMU I already succeded by using coreboot's built-in kernel loading mechanism, but that's without SeaBIOS. I'd love to have it as a SeaBIOS payload so I can also boot other things, but I guess I'd have to create a custom-sized floppy image for this or figure out how to create an ELF payload out of a Linux kernel (I'm open to either, but I wasn't able to find any documentation on the ELF method). The guy who put Win 3.1 in … [View More]
