[coreboot] Is Goryachy's JTAG hack a chance for free firmware ?

2017-11-29 Thread Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult
Hi folks, i'm curios whether Goryachy's JTAG hack is a chance for getting rid of all proprietary ME/UEFI firmware. If i'm correct, the ME firmware (or parts of it) is signed, and the CPU won't run (or switches off) if signatures don't match. Can the JTAG channel be used to get around that ? th

Some of the coreboot wiki docs seemed to indicate it had been tried with some amount of success. But alas I am not an embedded hardware programmerI do predict more people will want options regarding AMT. The work you do here is important, thank you. On Tue, Nov 28, 2017 at 7:01 PM, Peter Stuge

Hi awokd, are you sure that your HVM is correctly installed / has a correct config ? Because: you may have heard about Qubes OS - excellent OS which is based on Xen, has the same and even stronger security than Xen in some cases, and it is working perfectly at Lenovo G505S laptop with coreboot inst

Hello, Try to boot linux in legacy mode(enable CSM and set all boot options to legacy mode), and run getpir, i've made my table this way. I also recommend to enable AGESA debug output to serial port, it can help you with ddr training problems. 29 нояб. 2017 г. 12:40 пользователь "Gergely Kiss" н

Hi Sergej, thanks a lot for your feedback, it's much appreciated. As far as I can tell, my board only has 8 IRQ slots while the one you ported has 10. I believe this is (partially) due to the number of PCI-e slots does not match (the Biostar board has one extra PCI-e x16 slot) so there definitely
