Heres a few lines to test erase and restore every thing.

But i think there might actually be more to testing erase, then just
erasing via the normal flashrom.
Take a full picture of the board and note posible revision numbers.
Try compiling the S50 code and flash the content to your bios. It seams
that there is no com port so you will need a USB debug device if you
want to debug the boot process.
Oh yeah, I forgot to ask; 'compile' how? Is there a good wiki page?
If it doesn't work then all you have to do is boot up another S10, pull
out it's bios (while the system is on), plug in the bad bios, and flash
your S10.rom image to it, and then place one of them in the other board.
if your rom looks like this
http://www.flashrom.org/images/thumb/8/85/Plcc32_in_socket.jpg/180px-Plcc32_in_socket.jpg
then it is recomented to glue push pins on top of them, to pull them out
with out issues, using super glue. Like this
http://www.flashrom.org/images/thumb/b/b8/Pushpin_roms_2.jpg/800px-Pushpin_roms_2.jpg
It is still posible to break off the push pin if you can't fit it in the
small computer when you are done.

Right,
I saw on the wiki that the S50 was tested etc, so it should be "supported".
The bios is socketed! I can take some foto's next week for the wiki if
desired!
I have attached several documents from the several commands. These
commands where run on an Ubuntu 10.04 from a USB stick. It took about 10
minutes to start, but runs reasonable well :)
Flashrom.txt lists flashrom -V; on a sidenote, since I have several of
these terminals, and I can 'hotswap' I could test the erase thing? How
would this work and how would I recover if it goes bad. I'm willing to
try if you give me detailed instructions :)
Superiotool didn't report anything interesting; there is no superio chip :)
I also attached lspci -vvvxxx and dmesg aswell as cpuinfo
To recap; I think it's an AMD Geode GX2 or LX, with an CS5536 'companion
chip'.
The audiochip isn't anything special; it's an ACL655 and the network is
powerd by an RTL8100CL.
What I'm hoping, is using someting like bayou to boot either whatever is
stored on the local 'hdd' or boot an PXE image. USB would be handy too I
suppose :)
Thanks for your time again;
Oliver

Can the BIOS be swapped (is it socketed), do you have a spare (or one
you fan borrow from motherboard) .
Is the board using a supported or documented SuperIO (use superiotool,
the manual, the we or your eyes to see what chip you have).
Is the southbridg supported.
Is the northbridg supported.

Emne: [coreboot] Wyse S10 and coreboot
Til:<[email protected]>
Hello all,
I am very interested in starting to play with coreboot and use it on
some of my systems. I have been interested in coreboot and following it
for a few years now.
I'll skip the chit chat and get straight to it. I got my hands on a few
Wyse S10 thinclients, and they work quite well, booting via PXE or USB.
Recently, I found some cheap Disk on Module 44pin 'ssd' and wanted to
try them out in the S10.
Unforuntatly, I'm getting an error when trying to run someting from it;
that the IDE port has been disabled.
Since getting a bios upgrade (which might not fix it) is a very tedious
task; i decided to look at coreboot.
My question is, I suppose quite simple; Where do I start?
Thanks,
Oliver
