Hi everyone!
I'm trying to make an Elitegroup (ECS) board run coreboot. Model specifics
are ECS C7VCM2 rev.1.0 with:
- CN700
- VT8237R
- ITE IT8716F-S
- VIA C7 CPU @ 1000 MHz
The Homepage of the product is at:
http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?detailid=885&CategoryID=10&DetailName=Specification&MenuID=127&LanID=0
Yet, i've tried booting a vanilla pc2500 coreboot with various payloads.
The most i got it to do was outputting this line to the serial console:
"Coreboot-2.0.0-pc2500e Fr 30. Jan 20:12:16 CET 2009 booting..."
Actually, there was some garbage in front of that, but that got emitted
on every powerup of the board (even without flash-chip).
Afterwards the system just keeps emitting two barely audible clicks every
4 seconds (which it also does without flash).
Uwe tried helping with various suggestions (thanksalot!) but nothing
really helped. So i'm posting here, maybe someone knows a solution.
I have a couple of these. I'll take a look when I get a chance and let
you know what I find. The factory BIOS is one of the slowest booting I
have seen in >10 years.
