[coreboot] Document for review: coreboot Gerrit Etiquette and Guidelines

2015-10-29 Thread Martin Roth
As the community has grown, so has the need to formalize some of the guidelines that the community lives by. When the community was small, it was easy to communicate these things just from one person to another. Now, with more people joining the community every day, it seems that it's time to

Re: [coreboot] Proposal: Removing obsolete & EOL boards and chipsets for 4.2 release

2015-10-28 Thread Martin Roth
It seems that we've got more issues than we can address before the proposed 4.2 release date within the next few days - we're trying to get this out in October. Maybe it's time for another 'Major' release where we can remove more than just the few mainboards and truly obsolete code that I was

Re: [coreboot] Proposal: Removing obsolete & EOL boards and chipsets for 4.2 release

2015-10-27 Thread Martin Roth
The current thought is to create a new branch for 4.2, *THEN* remove the decided upon code from the master branch. This removes the maintenance work on master going forward while providing a known point if someone wants to pick up the boards going forward. I don't understand the question about

I don't think it's really very similar at all. The bootblock output can change drastically based on Kconfig settings. Am I missing something? On Fri, Oct 23, 2015 at 10:59 AM, Nico Huber <nic...@gmx.de> wrote: > On 23.10.2015 18:32, Martin Roth wrote: >>> So, is there a thi

I like what I understand Nico's proposal to be: Store the SPD data as a c struct with all of the different JEDEC fields broken out. it would relatively trivial to compile this into an SPD binary, or it can be used in whatever other fashion is desired. A tool to convert from a binary SPD to the

I haven't seen any disagreement that we get rid of the entire third paragraph. Alex votes that we should get rid of the second paragraph of the header as well, and what Ron posted SEEMS to support that we can, although the wording in that license header might be different enough that it doesn't

Hi John, coreboot does support the E3815 (Bay Trail I) with the Intel FSP. The tree is a little broken for it right now, but we're working to get it fixed. The primary example for that chip is the Minnowboard Max. A couple of resources to get you started: - http://intel.com/fsp - There are a

My experience is that the aspeed chip based graphics card that comes with Mohon Peak has a bug in the vbios causing it to hang when run. If you need to use this specific card, you'll need to debug it, probably with a jtag debugger, going through the assembly, and see what's causing the issue. My

Hi May, I just wanted to expand on your finding. On Rangeley, the USB buffers MUST be pushed low because the USB controller isn't allowed to write into the 0xe - 0xf area. The processor is the only device that can write to that area. The restricted area might be larger - I can't
