[coreboot] coreboot support for socket 775 mainboards
Hello As far as I have seen, there are is no coreboot-support for any socket 775 mainboards yet? Is someone working on that and is it likely that there will be support in the near future? I'm working in revamp-it in Zurich. ( www.revamp-it.ch ) Together with different other open source concerned people we have started the project freieComputer.ch. Our idea is to offer free computers, which means computers with pre installed open source software to anyone, who wants to buy a new or second-hand desktop computer or laptop. Till now we are still using mainboards with BIOS, pre installed by the mainboard manufacturer, but we would be very happy to offer computers with coreboot-BIOS in the future. As far as I understand, there are already a lot of possibilities for second-hand computers, using older mainboards. But the choice for new mainboards is very small: Am I right, that the only mainboard listed as supported by coreboot, I still can get as new is the Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 Board with Socket AM2? (I couldn't find any mainboard supplier, who still offers any of the other AM2 supported mainboards mentioned on the supported mainboards list.) Which other mainboards or newer chipsets are you currently working on to be implemented in coreboot v3? Apart from support for OLPC, is there any work in progress to get the BIOS of other (mainstream) laptops supported by coreboot? And a last question: Are there any coreboot developers here in Switzerland, to get in personal contact with them?

What, specifically, do you need? So far there is the coreboot table with some information about the system, and payloads are 32-bit elf binaries. Perhaps the best solution for you is to write a special loader payload that abstracts away coreboot and then hands over to your main application? //Peter -- coreboot mailing list coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot

I've posted a patch in my mail titled Intel refactoring and microcode updates that adds support for socket 775 CPUs, along with their respective microcode updates. Unfortunately, the updates are too large to fit in flash, 512k flash, I meant to say, that's what the 945 board I have supports. -Corey -- coreboot mailing list coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
Re: [coreboot] Donations?

I'd love to see a page on the wiki with instructions for people who would like to. This has come up before. When someone wants to donate hardware it's good to ask on the list if anyone is interested in receiving the hardware. We currently don't have any bank account for the project. Can you suggest practical ways to actually handle donations? //Peter -- coreboot mailing list coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot

That's possible, I'm not sure about other AM2 boards. My company is now offering the GA-M57SLI-S4 with the dual-flash-chip modification (an extra 16Mbit == 2Mbyte flash soldered on the board along with a switch to choose between the original 512kb and the new 2Mb) for 160 EUR including 25% VAT (which you would not have to pay if you have a tax id which VIES considers valid) but excluding shipping. I have not been able to set up a web page for orders yet but I'm working on that.

Can you confirm it is not zero before calling do_vsmbios() and zero immediately after returning? That would indicate that the VSA setup empties the area. //Peter -- coreboot mailing list coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot

No problem for me, but; Should we really have a Mail-Followup-To header? I believe it is what makes my mutt reply command send messages only to the list and never to the original poster - which hasn't happened before. For replying to the list there's an awesome list-reply command. Is the intent of Mail-Followup-To the same as for Reply-To - to help people with non-list-aware mailers to always send messages to the list? In that case I would like to ask that it is removed, elitist as that may seem. If instead my mutt config is just all broken please let me know. (But it has worked very well so far.)

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help remotely. Last year we had an idea about a competition in the booth, but time did not let it happen. We showcased a few different CPU boards with LB and had the serial output for each board showing on a screen. The idea was to let people guess boot times for one board each day as precisely as we could measure, and have a reset button for visitors to press while they were watching the serial output. I would love to hear other, more fun, competition ideas, but if nothing else surfaces I think I'll try to realize the timer thing this year. :) //Peter -- coreboot mailing list coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot

Not really less information in the source. Just a single place for
that information. flash.h is the only place where the VENDOR_ID
defines are defined and the array in flashchips.c is the only place
where they are used.
In fact i think it would add information if we replace the
VENDOR_ID defines with strings and drop the DEVICE_ID defines
completely.
{W29C011, WINBOND_ID, W_29C011, 128, 128, ...}
should rather read
{Winbond, W29C011, 0xda, 0xc1, 128, 128, ...}
I like it.
I was also thinking that it would/should be simple to tell
flashrom about these flash chip parameters at run time so as to
not need a rebuild with as-yet unsupported flash.
yes, this would be really neat.
I'll think a bit more about this. If someone wants to hack on it go
for it.
