Re: [coreboot] New user of KGPE-D16

[Elisenda Cuadros]

Hello Taiidan,

I bought it used, but the seller was so kind to send me the module. It 
was a nice surprise.


If you need high quality photos of this module or anything else, please 
don´t hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to help.


My cpu is 6238 not 6328, but thank you for your advise :-) .

Regards,

- Eli

If you got your D16 new it comes with one (so that is probably what 
you have) - its a tiny little module that attaches next to the PCI-e 
slots - see the manual for a photo.
This is one of the reasons I always advise people to buy a new D16 as 
that module is very hard to find despite being so simple.


I imagine it could be easily reverse engineered and copied for those 
who don't have one, although I lack the time and have never done that 
sort of thing before.


re: 6328 - please be aware that this has two NUMA nodes (it is two 4 
core CPU's in a single package) and that games won't work well if you 
don't properly align the memory to have the games memory present on 
only one node (this appears to be the best arrangement)
For gaming I imagine that a C32 board like the KCMA-D8 and one or two 
of the single node/MCM opteron 4386 would be better but I run games on 
a dual numa setup in a VM without much issues - I am able to max out 
newish video games with a decent graphics card (the board also 
supports crossfire if you have mad money to burn on GPU's)

[coreboot] External flashing PCI-e RAID card firmware

[taii...@gmx.com]

I am contemplating the purchase of an ASUS PIKE for my KGPE-D16 and I 
was wondering if anyone here knows if it is possible to externally 
re-flash them.


I notice a SOIC-8 chip on the front of the card and I imagine the 
firmware is there, does it entail simply hooking up a test clip and 
using flashrom as one would with a motherboard?


20% chance the manufacturers utility performs some type of secret 
sauce that is required for it to function.

Ok, thank you for the clarification.

I thought the connector was needed to program the module.

I have an ASMB4-iKVM. I think it's this, although it has two stickers 
and I can not see the concrete model


Ok.. flashing is done with your flashrom version. Sorry for not reading 
the whole instructions.


I will try it in a few days.

Thank you for your help and all the amazing work you are doing.

To try the OpenBMC port you don't need to solder anything; you just need
to find an ASMB4-iKVM module and program it.  Soldering is for if you
want access to the JTAG connector for low-level development (U-Boot
development, mostly).

https://www.asus.com/Commercial-Servers-Workstations/ASMB4iKVM/

The ASMB5-iKVM also works from a hardware perspective, but both may be
hard to find as the KGPE-D16 and the Opterons it uses are now out of
production.

The fact that the vendor BIOS won't post is a very bad sign, since in
our experience the vendor BIOS is far more forgiving of faulty DIMMs
than coreboot (basically, the vendor BIOS will show something on the VGA
port even if the DIMMs are completely damaged and unable to properly
store data).

I recently bought an Asus KGPE-D16 board, with an Opteron 6238 and 4

I flashed Coreboot with default settings just to try to get some more 
useful logs. The result I think is more or less the same, it doesn't

Memory is installed in A2,B2,C2 and D2 slots.

I spent multiple hours trying to figure where is the problem.

Same story on other platforms: sys/io.h[1] is implemented through
i386_iopl(2)[2]/amd64_iopl(2)[3] and sysarch(2)[4] on OpenBSD.

Many tools under util/ are developed with Linux/glibc in mind (only).

We should provide our own I/O space inlines.  ISTR we do for nvramtool,
superiotool, and flashrom.

For instance, NetBSD libc will not expose these inlines to userland.

This is to say nothing of the NetBSD x86 I/O space write inlines having
reversed argument order compared to their glibc counterparts.

Re: [coreboot] inteltool and sys/io.h

[ron minnich]

why on earth is that test there? what does glibc have to do with whether
you have sys/io.h?

I suggest removing the guard.

[coreboot] inteltool and sys/io.h

[Trammell Hudson]

When cross compiling inteltool with musl-libc the  header
is not included due to this test in inteltool.h:

#if defined(__GLIBC__)
#include 
#endif

Unfortunately I'm not sure what the right test is here, since
the musl libc team is opposed to having a __MUSL__ define:

Coreboot AGESA used on AM1 doesn't support IOMMU :[ and of course the 
default bios doesn't either. There is no IOMMU device in lspci/dmesg so 
passing hardware doesn't work.


I know other coreboot AGESA fam16 platforms support it so I imagine it 
can't be that difficult for someone to add, but I do not have the skills 
to do this especially without the documentation.


This would be a nice little embedded server board if it had IOMMU.

Thanks for your information!
