[RESEND PATCH] fw/pciinit: don't misalign large BARs
by Daniil Tatianin 15 Apr '24

15 Apr '24

Previously we would unconditionally lower the alignment for large BARs in case their alignment was greater than "pci_mem64_top >> 11", this would make it impossible to use these devices by the kernel: [ 13.821108] pci 0000:9c:00.0: can't claim BAR 1 [mem 0x66000000000-0x67fffffffff 64bit pref]: no compatible bridge window [ 13.823492] pci 0000:9d:00.0: can't claim BAR 1 [mem 0x64000000000-0x65fffffffff 64bit pref]: no compatible bridge window [ 13.824218] pci 0000:9e:00.0: can't claim BAR 1 [mem 0x62000000000-0x63fffffffff 64bit pref]: no compatible bridge window [ 13.828322] pci 0000:8a:00.0: can't claim BAR 1 [mem 0x6e000000000-0x6ffffffffff 64bit pref]: no compatible bridge window [ 13.830691] pci 0000:8b:00.0: can't claim BAR 1 [mem 0x6c000000000-0x6dfffffffff 64bit pref]: no compatible bridge window [ 13.832218] pci 0000:8c:00.0: can't claim BAR 1 [mem 0x6a000000000-0x6bfffffffff 64bit pref]: no compatible bridge window Fix it by only overwriting the alignment in case it's actually greater than the desired by the BAR window.

[PATCH] stdvgaio: Only read/write one color palette entry at a time
by Kevin O'Connor 15 Apr '24

15 Apr '24

Introduce stdvga_dac_read_many() and stdvga_dac_write_many() for writing multiple dac palette entries. Convert the stdvga_dac_read() and stdvga_dac_write() low-level IO access functions in stdvgaio.c to access just one color palette entry. Signed-off-by: Kevin O'Connor <kevin(a)koconnor.net> -- There should not be any functional change resulting from this patch. However, during mode switches (and a few other rare calls) there will likely be a few more outb() calls due to additional writes to the dac index register. In theory this could adversely impact performance, but in practice I think it is unlikely it will be noticeable. The original code was also not optimized (it already makes a large number of redundant writes to the dac index register), and performance sensitve code already avoids using the vgabios. --- src/std/vbe.h | 7 +++++++ vgasrc/stdvga.c | 50 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- vgasrc/stdvga.h | 26 +++++++++++++++++++++++ vgasrc/stdvgaio.c | 37 ++++++++++++-------------------- vgasrc/stdvgamodes.c | 8 +++---- vgasrc/vbe.c | 16 +++++--------- vgasrc/vgabios.c | 22 +++++++++---------- vgasrc/vgautil.h | 23 -------------------- 8 files changed, 109 insertions(+), 80 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/std/vbe.h b/src/std/vbe.h index fe96f5e..fddaa4f 100644 --- a/src/std/vbe.h +++ b/src/std/vbe.h @@ -88,6 +88,13 @@ struct vbe_crtc_info { u8 reserved[40];

[PATCH v4] Add basic MXM 3.0 interrupt support
by Riku Viitanen 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

VGAROMs on MXM graphics cards need certain int15h functions present to function properly. On HP EliteBook 8560w with coreboot and Quadro 2000M, this warning is displayed for 30 seconds, making every boot extremely slow: ERROR: Valid MXM Structure not found POST halted for 30 seconds, P-state limited to P10... This patch implements the minimum functionality to get rid of it: the functions 0 and 1, version 3.0 of the specification [1]. Older version 2.1 is not implemented. Functions are enabled only if romfile "mxm-30-sis" exists. These functions are specific to the MXM revision, but not the board or GPU. Some boards might require more of the optional functions to be implemented, however. - Function 0 returns information about supported functions and revision. - Function 1 returns a pointer to a MXM configuration structure in low memory. This is copied from romfile "mxm-30-sis". It can be extracted from vendor BIOS, by using this same interrupt. I wrote a tool [2] to do that from Linux. TEST: HP EliteBook 8560w boots without error and delay, graphics work.

Floppy drive configuration
by Eduardo Batalha 11 Apr '24

11 Apr '24

Hi all, I own an ASUS P5Q and had the same problem that Petr Cvek mentioned in his previous emails. I was configuring the floppy type using the the etc/floppy0 value in cbfs but took me quite a while to figure out that why linux was not showing it. I haven't tested it myself yet, but I think the solution to the floppy configuration issue may be to continue using etc/floppyX and change these lines in floppy.c from } else { u8 type = romfile_loadint("etc/floppy0", 0); if (type) addFloppy(0, type); type = romfile_loadint("etc/floppy1", 0); if (type) addFloppy(1, type); } to } else { u8 type0 = romfile_loadint("etc/floppy0", 0); if (type0) addFloppy(0, type); u8 type1 = romfile_loadint("etc/floppy1", 0); if (type1) addFloppy(1, type1); if (type0 || type 1) rtc_write(CMOS_FLOPPY_DRIVE_TYPE, type0 <<4 | type1); } Quoting from osdev.org : "The first 14 CMOS registers access and control the Real-Time Clock. In fact, the only truly useful registers remaining in CMOS are the Real-Time Clock registers, and register 0x10. All other registers in CMOS are almost entirely obsolete (or are not standardized), and are therefore useless. " So, register 0x10, the floppy drive type, is, conversely, pretty much standardised... Hope this makes sense... Cheers, Ed

[PATCH] stdvga: Add stdvga_set_vertical_size() helper function
by Kevin O'Connor 09 Apr '24

09 Apr '24

Add helper function and update the bochsvga.c code to use it. This emphasizes the relationship between stdvga_get_vertical_size() and stdvga_set_vertical_size() code.

Can I set a password to SeaBIOS?
by seabios.stagegenre＠erine.email 01 Apr '24

01 Apr '24

Hello. In typical BIOS, you can set a password to protect your computer at boot-up. Noone can boot up an operating system or even access the boot menu or BIO settings without said password. So I wonder if SeaBIOS has incorporated this feature. Thank you.
