 Rafael,

 i don't think that you can update them once the OS loads. The OS would
 have already made decisions based on the settings.

 Hi folks, first time posting here. I was wondering if it would be
 possible
 to modify smbios values once a system is up and running. Has anyone ever
 looked into that? If not, any pointers on how to implement this would be
 greatly appreciated. I'm fairly new to coreboot but would like to look
 into
 this.

 This is with coreboot + seabios, btw.

 Thanks,
 Rafael




 Hi Marc,

 That's true, but my intention is to modify more 'informational' fields like
 version, sn, etc. Nothing that would break the OS.

You can modify dmi values in coreboot - see bachmann/ot205

[coreboot] Atom E3815 processor - reporting incorrect PCI device id

2014-06-17 Thread Mike Hibbett
Hi all,

I have two B3 stepping E3815 processors, one is reporting a PCI device id of 
0x0f00 ( as expected ) but another is reporting 0x. I can work round that 
in the BAYTRAIL_FSP CoreBoot build but cannot install Linux, and I'm guessing 
that having a wonky device id may be involved. Has anyone else seen this and 
know the work around? I can't see anything about it on the Intel IBL.

Cheers,

Mike.

Hi Mike,

This is due to a bad or missing IFD. You need to have the correct 
information in the bootStrap settings.


Cheers,
Sean

Hi Sean,

I would have thought so too, but the devices are using the same IFD.

Do you know what the ifd parameter is that affects this?

Cheers,

Mike
