[coreboot] PSA: old coreboot versions now available via git

[Stefan Reinauer]

Hi,

the ancient coreboot versions coreboot v1 and coreboot v3 have been
recovered from some old svn trees and are now available in the coreboot
repository under the branch names "coreboot-v1" and "coreboot-v3".

Enjoy,
Stefan

Re: [coreboot] permissions error building external payload

Hi David,
 You need to add a rule to payloads/external/Makefile.inc as well.
Here's a start:

payloads/external/OpenBIOS/openbios/obj-x86/openbios-builtin.elf
openbios: $(top)/$(DOTCONFIG)
 $(MAKE) -C payloads/external/OpenBIOS all \
   CONFIG_OPENBIOS_MASTER=$(CONFIG_OPENBIOS_MASTER) \
   CONFIG_OPENBIOS_STABLE=$(CONFIG_OPENBIOS_STABLE) \
   CONFIG_OPENBIOS_REVISION=$(CONFIG_OPENBIOS_REVISION) \
   CONFIG_OPENBIOS_REVISION_ID=$(CONFIG_OPENBIOS_REVISION_ID)

You'll probably want to add some additional variables to configure
openbios to use the coreboot toolchain. All of the variables will need
to be exported or passed on the command line between
external/Makefile.inc and external/OpenBIOS/Makefile.

With your changes and the ones to Makefile.inc, I get to this point:

I forgot to mention payloads/external/Makefile.inc.  Here is the entry I 
made:


payloads/external/OpenBIOS/openbios/obj-x86/openbios-builtin.elf openbios:
$(MAKE) -C payloads/external/OpenBIOS all \
HOSTCC="$(HOSTCC)" \
CONFIG_OPENBIOS_DEVEL=$(CONFIG_OPENBIOS_MASTER) \
CONFIG_OPENBIOS_STABLE=$(CONFIG_OPENBIOS_STABLE) \
CONFIG_OPENBIOS_REVISION=$(CONFIG_OPENBIOS_REVISION) \
CONFIG_OPENBIOS_REVISION_ID=$(CONFIG_OPENBIOS_REVISION_ID)

With your example, I doubt it would get to the point where I got stuck 
because you don't have the x86 cross-compiler installed.

Re: [coreboot] SeaBios serial(RX) is not running.

[Patrick Rudolph]

Seabios isn't able to read from serial, as it would require to map
several received characters to scancodes.

You can try sgabios, an option rom that works over serial.

In theory adding serial rx support to Seabios using sgabios source code
should be simple.

Patrick

[coreboot] permissions error building external payload

[David Griffith]

I ran into a problem with my project to get the coreboot build process to 
download, build, and include openbios.  Things go okay until this point:


Creating config files...ok.
/usr/bin/xsltproc
Building OpenBIOS for x86
Building...
error:
  GEN   target/include/openbios-version.h
  GEN   forth/version.fs
 HOSTCC host/kernel/dict.o
/home/dave/proj/coreboot/coreboot/payloads/external/OpenBIOS/openbios/kernel/dict.c:320:1: 
fatal error: opening dependency file /.d: Permission denied

 }
 ^
compilation terminated.

I can compile openbios just fine by going into 
payloads/external/OpenBIOS/openbios/ and typing "make".  What am I doing 
wrong?
