Re: [LinuxBIOS] Qemu compile for LinuxBIOSV2

I know this should tell me something more than it does, but I'm hoping
it helps someone else.

Building v3 and v2 for Qemu fails for me on FC6 with binutils updated
to 2.18.50, but succeeds on FC6-64-bit with the same binutils built
from source.

The error messages are similar

Since they're both targeting the same architecture, that struck me as strange.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Myles

Huh? How do I do a register dump of the eeprom with awarddeco? That  
would be for  getting the pci rom. I already have the the pci rom, and  
an AMI bios not Award. But, that doesn't matter to coreboot because it  
won't load a pci rom for a device that it can't detect. I wonder if  
there is a way to load the pci rom before the bus scan. I'm thinking  
the original bios does that, and the pci rom acually turns on the  
device and sets up it's registers. Anyone want to take a shot here???

Thanks - Joe

Whoa, I don't know how I let this one slip by... Did you manage to get SATA working, by chance? That was a show stopper for me, but I haven't been able to diagnose it.

coreboot on supermicro X5DPR-8G2+ ?

Hi all,
 
I would like to know if it will be possibile to use coreboot on Supermicro X5FPR-8G2+ motherboard.
 
On-Board Devices

Chipset  • Intel® E7501 chipset • MCH + ICH3-S + P64H2
 
more specification here : http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/E7501/X5DPR-8G2+.cfm
 
Since I'm new to coreboot how could I test it ?
 
Regards
Alessandro

I did not get the second set of two SATA ports working, but I did
get the first set working.  Also, I didn't get the audio to work.

Sure, I could spend centuries twiddling the PCI Configuration Space,
but that doesn't seem like my idea of fun.  Reading publicly available
documentation seems like a lot more fun.  ;-)   So, basically, I'm
saying it's beyond my power to fix.  Unless NVIDIA is going to have
a change of heart on Valentines Day.  But I'm not holding my breath.

Sigh.

Aha. This is another example of the ck804 sata issues.

You may want to have a look at this

  ftp://ftp.lnxi.com/pub/linuxbios/h8dce/SOURCE

That's another ck804-based board, and I suspect that all sata ports on both
controllers work there.

Thanks,
Ward.

Capio II 320 and Coreboot

Hi,

I'm new to Coreboot, but I've been able to get a BIOS burned and sort of working. I'm working with a Capio II 320 (see specs below) and I've tried using the "Axus TC320" and "ASI MB-5BLMP" build tutorials since the CPU and chipsets are so similar. I've also tried using Etherboot and FILO as the payloads with the same results. The ASI tutorial starts up and initializes the network interface, but I never get any video. With the Axus TC320 tutorial, I get video, the network interface is initialized, and I get a splash screen, but that's where it stops. When using Etherboot I can see that the Capio starts to boot from my network boot server and then stops. Is there a way I can get console output with the Axus TC320 setup? If I could see wh at's going on I might be able to fix it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Boundless (Neoware) Capio II 320
Cyrix MediaGXm 233MHz
Geode CS5530 companion device
Intel 82559ER Network Interface
48MB DiskOnChip
32MB SDRAM DIMM

Thanks,

Jeremy

Re: Capio II 320 and Coreboot

Have you set up serial console? Or is that your question?

Re: Capio II 320 and Coreboot

No, I haven't set up serial console. Is there documentation on how to do that? I wasn't sure what the next step should be since I'm so unfamiliar with Coreboot.

Thanks.

Re: Capio II 320 and Coreboot

I am pretty sure one or both of those targets has serial console
enabled. The next thing to do is boot standard bios on that board,
with linux, hook up serial to a box you know works, run minicom on
each end, and just verify that serial works at all.

Then we can talk about coreboot serial :-)
