[coreboot] ectool misusage in autoport

2015-08-24 Thread Iru Cai
Hi, I'm trying to use autoport to port coreboot to a machine. However, when I look at the logs generated by: ./autoport --input_log=logs --make_logs --coreboot_dir=../.. I saw in logs/ectool.log: ../ectool/ectool: invalid option -- 'a' usage: ../ectool/ectool [-vh?Vidq] [-w 0xaddr -z 0xdata] So

[coreboot] memtest86+ test fails at 3070.7MB

2015-08-20 Thread Iru Cai
Hi, I installed coreboot(4.1-315-gf58746b) on a ThinkPad X220, with factory VGA option ROM and SeaBIOS 1.7.5 as payload. When I run memtest86+ on this machine, it reports a fail at 3070.7MB. If I just install a 2GB memory module, it passes the test. So what makes memtest86+ give a test failure?

[coreboot] Is it possible to use an Ivy Bridge CPU in an Sandy Bridge laptop?

2015-08-12 Thread Iru Cai
Hi, Ivy Bridge processor can be installed on a 6 series motherboard on desktop. However, Intel didn't give official support for snb laptops to install an ivb processor. Did anyone tried to insall an ivb processor into an snb machine (I think ThinkPad T520 is a good choice.) to check whether

[coreboot] How to check if DRAM init is OK?

Hi, I am using QEMU from Arch Linux x86_64 official repo. I need to test my built u-boot payload, so I tried to build a QEMU ARM coreboot image. However, it failed to run and had the following output. qemu: fatal: Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM at 0xfffe R00= R01=00011b70

[coreboot] On Intel Boot Guard

2015-04-23 Thread Iru Cai
Hi, I've just seen a forum thread about removing the white list of ThinkPad X240, so I think Boot Guard is not preventing modification of BIOS. Then I read some article, which says what Boot Guard locks is the boot block, so I think there's still some way to flash coreboot on a new Intel

[coreboot] How can I load SeaBIOS from GRUB with native VGA+VGA option ROM

2015-04-02 Thread Iru Cai
I read previous config files from board status, and configured my Lenovo ThinkPad X220 with CONFIG_MAINBOARD_DO_NATIVE_VGA_INIT and CONFIG_VGA_ROM_RUN. And according to: http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2014-July/078342.html I added the bios.bin.elf to GRUB and vgabios.bin to CBFS.

[coreboot] Question on VGA BIOS extraction

2015-03-30 Thread Iru Cai
Hi, I'm trying to build Coreboot for ThinkPad X220. I first backup the vendor BIOS, then use UEFITool to extract a VBIOS. The romheader program detects the ROM's PCI data structure and reports the device id is 8086:0106, but the VGA controller's device id is 8086:0126. I extracted the video ROM

I tried to use GRUB2 as a payload when building coreboot for ThinkPad X201, but it's too big to fit into the rom. The GRUB2 coreboot image without modules is 2.8M and 800K after compressing, it's still too big. I think FILO and u-boot are good alternatives but not so user-friendly and documented
