[coreboot] ASUS AM1I-A and AM1M-A, ECC

2019-09-23 Thread Matt B
Greetings, The AM1I-A [1] is supported by Coreboot, while the AM1M-A [2] is not. The latter seems to be a larger version of the first, with more expansion options. For the smaller 'I' not much is stated in the manual [3] except to check the "qualified vendor list" on ASUS' site. It does list size

Seems like there's little information publicly available about the AM1 platform. As you can see here [1] there's plenty of information available for the Bolton FCH which is used in newer APUs, while the Hudson FCH is basically undocumented. The BKDG for the Kabini platform [2] mentions two registe

Has anyone figured out if the AM1 platform has IOMMU? the OEM bios on the AM1ML has an option for it but it doesn't work. The lack of that is really disappointing. I am also unable to locate the spec sheets for the AM1 platform that would confirm this. -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@core

Hi Gergely, Sorry, I didn´t know the PCI IDs are APU depending. I´m using an Athlon 5350. Yes, the differences are minor. Only UART used and TTYS0_BASE address. Thank you for clarifying the memory requirement. I didn´t see it in the manual :-( . Maybe you can change the defaults for CONFIG

Hi, taking a look at the diffs, I can't see any major difference. CONFIG_USE_BLOBS is y by default so setting it to y is not really useful. The only notable difference is that you used COM1 for console output instead of COM2 (which is the port soldered on-board). However, this does not seem to exp

Hi Gergely, Thank you for your config. Now I have coreboot + SeaBIOS perfectly working. Console speed is now "normal" :-) These are the changes between the two configs: - diff config_original.txt config_Gergely.txt 23c23 < # CONFIG_USE_BLOBS is not set --- > CONFIG_USE_BLOBS=y 101

Strange, the log you shared looked less verbose to me than expected but seems like I was wrong. Anyway, you might find an example on a full debug log here [1]. I have a small build script I use to build coreboot for my board, please find it attached. The version currently running on my box is 4.6

Thank you for your kind reply Gergely. I think the cable is not the problem, I have been using it for years and it's intact. I am using a usb dongle but not a cheap one. Tomorrow I will try with another cable and a real COM port. Just to be 100% sure. Console is fast at the very first time

Hi Eli, I've been using Coreboot on my board for several weeks, it is serving as an HTPC running 24/7 and it's working perfectly stable which suggests the firmware should be free of bugs. It is likely that you are facing some configuration or hardware issue here. I didn't see any issues with the

Hello, I'm trying to use Coreboot in an Asus AM1I-A board recently ported by Gergely Kiss (thank you!). I am using the default config settings and added vga rom extracted with UEFITool from the vendor bios. After flashing and booting I get no output from vga. Serial console is extremely sl
