Dear Coreboot Community, I am trying to understand the execution of coreboot’s ROM stage on my ASUS F2A85-M motherboard and was hoping to get your advice and guidance. I have an ASUS F2A85-M motherboard with an AMD A6-5400K processor, and a single Kingston KVR1333D3N9/2G DDR3 DIMM memory in DIM

Hi C Grossarth, Well, the Win variant will have a different EC for a start, so if you're expecting to be able to build and flash coreboot for the Chromebook variant with minimal changes, you will probably struggle. Other people will know much more what's required than I though - I just have reason

Hi Gailu. I don't think that one can configure the xHCI to behave like an EHCI so that GRUB2 can natively support it. xHCI has different version number in the PCI space which will prevent the EHCI driver in GRUB2 to use this controller at all. Not speaking about the complete different register s

Hi Werner, Thanks for your detailed clarification. Looks like Intel removing various legacy interfaces and support for alternatives is yet to be developed in grub. No only they removed USB2.0 altogether, they also removed IO mapped UART and we can't get serial console working on this board either

[coreboot] Rowhammer DRAM Refresh

Hi, where (which code file) does coreboot set the DRAM-refresh-rate and how easy is it for me to change it? A higher refresh rate will decrease the performance but increase the protection against Rowhammer. // Philipp -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org https://www.coreboot.or

Hello Gaily, Several time here, on Coreboot threads, I wrote the following (regarding BYT and post ATOM families skus): There are two root hub controllers in BYT: USB 3.0 - xHCI and USB 2.0 (legacy one) - EHCI. The trick here is that you/nobody could not have them both working at the same time. E

Thanks for the swift reply. I didn't say I thought this would be easy. I know porting to a new board isn't a trivial task but that's what we try to do here, no? Do you know of a tool for extracting the EC for comparison? And if there are any nuts and bolts folks out there, I'd like to hear ideas

Again, I'm being Captain Vague here, but I'm fairly sure Ron/similar have advised on the difficulty of doing something like this before - not that it's as hard as doing a port from scratch, but that you still do need pretty in-depth firmware/c experience to do it. Regards, John. On 20/03/17 12:

As a very belated data point to disabling the ME on the x230, it appears that it also disables the e1000e wired ethernet. The Linux kernel's ich8lan.c file reports an error that "No valid NVM bank present" and won't bring up eth0 if the ME has been flashed with a minimal firmware. Since the ME sh
