[coreboot] What's the relationship between ACPI and SMM?

Hello, I'm trying to write some ACPI code to support an EC. I don't know if I need to write an smihandler.c for the boards. I saw some mainboard code. Older boards such as lenovo/x200 have no smihandler.c, but newer boards such as lenovo/x220 have. Also, I don't know much about things like GPE,

Could we, please, agree on what the question is; write the question; and ask a lawyer, preferably someone involved in the CC license creation in the first place? All this interpretation of legalese by coders is bound to end badly. So, first, what's the question? I've gotten lost in all this

Re: [coreboot] VGA and Graphics

As for graphics startup, here's what I learned when I was doing this in 2012/2013: the kernel could start sandy and ivy with no vbios needed. However, I have been told that the veil of secrecy has started to draw a bit closer in subsequent chipsets, and that something like a VGA BIOS/GOP has to

Hi David, Thanks for taking the time to write this. It was very clear. In the light of your email, and the part of the Creative Commons FAQ that you quoted, I am questioning my previous position. I will clarify what it was, in case anyone is interested. On 02/04/2017, David Hendricks

Re: [coreboot] VGA and Graphics

So, I'll mention go userland one last time, for a simple reason: I have it on good authority that at some places, saying you have a go userland instead of a c userland checks a check box on a security checklist. I think that's a sensible decision, having watched all the awful ways that C programs

[coreboot] Coreboot gamers?

Hey any other coreboot gamers? What are your specs, games do you play and on what settings? Me: I purchased my D16 specifically for IOMMU-GFX VM gaming, I have a 6274 with a geforce gtx 780 and the new highly multithreaded games work great on it - right now I am playing battlefield 1 and

Hi folks, I do understand Nico's concern that my interpretation of CC BY 3.0 (see earlier emails in this thread) is inaccurate, and I think it is right that, having this concern, he should challenge me to back up my interpretation. However, as far as I can tell, my interpretation is consistent
