Re: [coreboot] USB to Serial Converters

2018-08-05 Thread David Hendricks
Hi Zahra,
Yes, I used the 6-pin serial port header. Also, make sure the microcode
header(s) you include correspond to the CPUID of your processor. The E3825
and E3826 use different microcode headers, so M0130679901.h will not work
for you.

Please keep the coreboot mailing list CC'd. I haven't done anything with
Minnowboard in several months and others may be able to help.

 Thanks, that helps a lot!

 The last config that I tested is
 https://review.coreboot.org/cgit/board-status.git/plain/intel/minnowmax/4.6-1358-g49d117c69f/2017-09-06T06_53_39Z/config.txt

 If you diff my config and yours, it seems you have several options
 disabled which I think you should try enabling:
 CONFIG_HAVE_IFD_BIN
 CONFIG_HAVE_ME_BIN
 CONFIG_TTYS0_LCS
 CONFIG_DRIVERS_UART_8250IO
 CONFIG_IFD_BIN_PATH
 CONFIG_ME_BIN_PATH
 CONFIG_LOCK_MANAGEMENT_ENGINE
 CONFIG_DRIVERS_UART
 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SERIAL
 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SERIAL_115200

 You can find these by using the search function in `make menuconfig`.
 Press '/' and type a Kconfig option.

 ifdtool is a tool for viewing and manipulating an Intel Flash Descriptor
 binary. The flash descriptor is a 4KB data structure at the start of the
 ROM's address space (offset 0x00-0x000fff).

 To build it: `make -C util/ifdtool`
 To run it: `util/ifdtool/ifdtool`

 You'll probably want to use the '-x' option to extract the individual
 modules from an existing Minnowboard Max firmware image (e.g. the UEFI 
 image
 that comes with the board). That will give you the ME and GBE files.

It would be helpful if you can upload your .config somewhere such as
paste.flashrom.org.

My guess is that you don't have CONFIG_ENABLE_BUILTIN_COM1 selected
(under "Chipset"), which is an option you have to set in addition to
the stuff under "Console."

Thank you very much.
I compiled  coreboot  and seabios and got Microcode  and Fsp on it.
But I did not have output on serial port.
Could you tell me How set menuconfig that see outpot on serial port.
Thanks,

The Minnowboard Max serial port does not go thru a USB to serial
converter. However, you may need to enable some config options.
Compare a sample config.txt from the supported mainboards page
(https://coreboot.org/status/board-status.html) to your .config file
to see if there is anything obviously missing.

Also, do you have the microcode files from Intel? If not, you can
download them from
https://downloadmirror.intel.com/25063/eng/Baytrail_FSP_Gold4.tgz.
