So what does the disassembly look like of that coreinfo binary around
the EIP address of the fault?

Is this stack contents plausible in your application?

It looks quite regular.


The other two cases unfortunately provide no information once SeaBIOS
hands off, but at least you have this output from coreinfo, which may
provide some clues. Looking quickly I didn't see anything super obvious
in the coreboot output, but I also don't know this platform.

[coreboot] Please review a tiny CB:48616 URL fix for a tint payload

2021-02-06 Thread Mike Banon
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/48616 - without this tiny URL
fix, building a secondary tint payload results in an error (since the
old archive became unavailable). Would be nice if you can review this
patch to bring back a wonderful tint game

[coreboot] Re: Which of these mini-ITX mainboards is best supported?

2021-02-06 Thread Mike Banon
Hope you can find the way to keep or sell all these coreboot-supported
boards. Selling those which you don't personally need - shouldn't be
hard: since the CPUs are much more resilient than motherboards - there
should be a lot of old server's owners looking for a motherboard
replacement, and the coreboot support is a great selling point,
especially if you can preinstall a coreboot to their chips
