Re: [coreboot] AMD A76M chipset?

2014-05-27 Thread Rudolf Marek
Hi all,

I'm CCing Bruce, maybe he knows.

According to random googled page:

The A76M FCH is an upgraded A70M FCH, or better yet A76M = Bolton M3 and A70M =
Hudson M3.

Does anyone know if there are public docs for the A76M (possibly under
another name), and how feasible it is to drive it with current public
(or to-be-released) AGESA?

Anyway, how it looks with AMD/AGESA story?

I think bolton should be very similar to Hudson, and googling for A88X its
revision number starts at 16h (the hudson had 11-14h)

There is a good chance that Bolton will somewhat work with current hudson I
think - even PCI IDs match.

Maybe we can try first to support some FM2+ board with bolton and see how it
goes. I'm all for that considering the effort I put into the FCH/Trinity AGESA
it would be a shame if it is wasted just with a single board ;)

Possible candidates:
Looks quite new (seems released this year)

ASUS A88X-PLUS  (Lunched 09/11/2013)
ASUS A88X-PRO (Lunched in January?)
A88XM-A (Lunched 07/29/2013)

Most promising:
ASUS A78M-E - AMD A78 (very new, microITX, cheap, ITE sio)

Very similar:
ASUS A78M-A (but more dimm slots, supported SIO, launched February?)

Is here someone who wants to work on this perhaps together with me? (of course
donations welcome ;) I will buy some / work on that only if someone else buys it
too.

Thanks
Rudolf

Re: [coreboot] Errors in Memtest86 with 4 or 8GB memory

2014-05-27 Thread WANG FEI
I noticed the MTRR(base:2944MB, range:64MB, type WB ) has covered the TSEG
hole(Adding hole at 2992MB-3008MB), I can not remember if this will cause a
problem or not.

Anyone knows?

BTW, what is the value of B0:D0:F0:REG70h?

Hi Rudolf!

Is here someone who wants to work on this perhaps together with me? (of course
donations welcome ;) I will buy some / work on that only if someone else buys it
too.
I've started porting coreboot to the ASROCK FM2A88M-HD+ (A88X chipset) 
and have nearly finished the code for the SIO chip used on that board 
(NCT6776). Will upload that soon, but still have to do some cleanup and 
verify some stuff with the datasheet.


If you'd like to help me with that board, I'd donate you a FM2A88M-HD+. 
But until august I sadly only have time for coreboot-related stuff on 
the weekends.


The only downside of that board is that the PCIe x1 slot is located next 
to the PCIe x16 slot; so if you want to use a fast graphics card the 
only PCIe x1 slot gets blocked mechanically.

Felix

[coreboot] Is there a proper way to skip a specific PCI device during PCI enumeration

2014-05-27 Thread WANG FEI
Gents,

What I'm doing is to avoid PCI enumeration code
allocating/setting/configuring resource to a specific PCI device
(Bus:Device:Function), is there a mechanism in coreboot to achieve this?

I've achieved this by setting this specific PCI device's read_resources to
NULL, just wondering what's the best way to get this done.

Many thanks,

-Fei

[coreboot] Errors in Memtest86 with 4 or 8GB memory

2014-05-27 Thread Krzysztof Pierwieniecki
I have a problem on Intel DQ77KB board. I have two the same boards and 
on every board Memtest86 reports a problem at 2990.8MB. That problem 
occur only if I use 4 or 8GB memory. With 2GB memory everything is OK.


What may be causing errors in Test2 Address test, own address, 
Parallel  in Memtest86?

[coreboot] Timeline for Bayley Bay Support

2014-05-27 Thread Mike Hibbett

Hi all ( but Martin in particular! )

I can see support for Baytrail and Bayley Bay going in at the moment. I'm 
interested in this board, and was wondering what the timeline for support might 
be - is there much more to do? And when will we see it?

Thanks,

Mike.

The USB controller might be using memory reported as
free in the E820 map. The address 2990.8MB would be
around BAECh. The log file shows that SeaBIOS uses 
memory around there for USB. Yet the SeaBIOS E820 map
shows memory through BAEDCFFF as available RAM. I once
debugged a problem like this. Dumping the failing address
range with a DOS mode debugger showed a location that
was constantly incrementing. That location turned out to
be a periodic counter used by the USB controller. The
problem was E820 reporting the USB memory as free, just
like Wang Fei suggested.
Thanks,
Scott
