I checked the current `hp/snb_ivb_desktops` code and all is already there for all other variants as well. However its missing the build option to enable nvram. ``` sudo nvramtool -a nvramtool: CMOS option table not found in coreboot table. Apparently, the coreboot installed on this system was built without selecting CONFIG_USE_OPTION_TABLE. ``` Where do I enable this during coreboot compile since it isn't mentioned under general "CONFIG_USE_OPTION_TABLE" or is it the new radio button "Option backend to use (Use CMOS for configuration values)"? > These LPC bus port decodes are from your logs.

Might as well get the autoport data for the "8200_elite_sff" and the "8300_elite_sff" runing OEM firmware this Thursday or Friday night if that might improve the overall code (cannot flash these models since there in use)? ---------------------------------------- Support #581: success new variant "compaq_pro_6300_sff" for hp/snb_ivb_desktops compatible with "compaq_8300_elite_sff" template https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/581#change-2021 * Author: Walter Sonius * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Category: board support * Target version: none * Start date: 2025-03-15 ---------------------------------------- Successful flash and coreboot SeaBIOS functioning of a HP "compaq_pro_6300_sff" with a unchanged "compaq_8300_elite_sff" template using coreboot (24.12-758-g1e7ba810c6bb) and SeaBIOS (version rel-1.16.3-0-ga6ed6b70). These two HP Compaq devices are extremely similar, they use the same OEM proprietary BIOS upgrade files. Hardware wise the only 3 noticeable differences are that the "compaq_8300_elite_sff" comes with a Q77 chipset, SuperIO NPCD378 and J32 labeled 16x length "white" PCI-E slot versus a Q75 chipset, SuperIO NPCD379HAKFX with the J32 labeled slot populated with a limited physical 1x length "black" PCI-E slot on the "compaq_pro_6300_sff". Flashing from OEM proprietary BIOS 3.08revA enabling the FDO jumper on the motherboard as described for the compaq_8300_elite_sff works by booting with "iomem=relaxed" kernel parameter and specifying the specific 16MB chip 25Q128A: flashrom -p internal -w cbtest.rom -c "MT25QL128" Tested and Working: Poweron/Poweroff/Reboot CPU i3-3220 / e3-1225v2 RAM 1x 2x 4x populated slots total of 4GB/8GB/16GB/24GB (both 1.35v and 1.5v modules mixed with ECC) Serial port (including coreboot) PS2 keyboard (including SeaBIOS) PS2 mouse SATA 3 ports (blue/white/white) USB 2.0 4x front & 2x back ports USB 3.0 4x back ports Ethernet 1Gbit/100Mbit Display port works in SeaBIOS and OS VGA port only works in OS!

What to do next to get this "compaq_pro_6300_sff" variant officially supported? *Supply more logs/info? *Fill a bug for the ECC not working or first get this variant supported as is? *Fill a bug that VGA doesn't work in SeaBIOS? *Fill a bug/ticket on the flashrom support list for the difference in parameters needed pre/post flash? https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/hp-compaq-pro-6300-small-form-factor-pc/model/5232884 https://support.hp.com/in-en/drivers/hp-compaq-elite-8300-small-form-factor-pc/model/5232855 Walter Sonius ---Files-------------------------------- cb-log-hp-compaq_pro_6300_sff.txt (51.8 KB) hp-compaq-pro-6300-oem-and-coreboot-autoport.zip (266 KB) cb-pull97add0a-log-ed2k-hp-compaq_pro_6300_sff-mt-deselect-vga-vga-working.txt (47.7 KB) cb-pull97add0a-log-ed2k-hp-compaq_pro_6300_sff-mt-deselect-vga-dp-hdmi-working.txt (47.8 KB) cb-pull97add0a-log-sb-hp-compaq_pro_6300_sff-mt.txt (54.6 KB) cb-pull264053a-log-ed2k-mcb2408-hp-compaq_pro_6300_sff-mt-me-S.txt (46.1 KB) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
