[coreboot] Hey
Hello, I have Samsung ARM chromebook series 3 Snow and I am trying to flesh it and change the boot process. So I build a coreboot.rom for that, but before I start to do that I would like to ask about the payload. When I did the make menuconfig it wasn't by default the SeaBios., there wasn't at all ...there was GRUB 2 and I selected it...so My question is would it work as SeaBios to boot from usb ? Thank you. -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot

No. SeaBIOS is a BIOS implementation and BIOS is fortunately x86-specific. The method used by BIOSes to boot from USB doesn't apply at all on other machines. Unless someone provides a well-tested recipe for creating a full working solution to replace what was shipped on your device I would very strongly discourage you from experimenting with firmware unless you are prepared to spend many days on doing recovery and years on learning, as well as maybe a hundred USD/EUR/GBP on tools. //Peter -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
Re: [coreboot] Hey
Ahhh...So how will I use the coreboot for Snow... I mean If I build SeaBios on Arm architecture and use it...would it be useful ? Could you please give me a solution to use the coreboot and boot my own Ubuntu or Fedora on my ARM samsung chromebook ?

Nope, I can't. //Peter -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot

Ahh...okay thank so much to your help... I think I will wait...:) On Thu, Mar 20, 2014 at 4:13 PM, Peter Stuge pe...@stuge.se wrote: Shant Kehyeian wrote: Ahhh...So how will I use the coreboot for Snow...

I think you're missing the ARM part. Only ARM distros have any chance to work. Given fragmentation of ARM it may even mean that only Linux-based works on your machine.

I'm surprised it compiled at all. It should have error'ed out.

I don't know how you managed to compile GRUB2 for ARM coreboot but it's unlikely to work. I'm under impression that you compile for wrong mainboard altogether (you've chosen mobo in make menuconfig, right?)

Chances are, that your only option for a payload on ARM is depthcharge right now (living in the Chromium OS repository). I started a FILO port a while ago (see gerrit) but it doesn't even compile yet. Stefan -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
