[coreboot] USB 2.0 EHCI debug dongle doesn't print logs (at Lenovo G505S)

2018-09-28 Thread Ivan Ivanov
Thank you for spkmodem comments, now I'm trying out a more reliable way - FT232H dongle - to extract the logs from AMD Lenovo G505S. I plug it into the correct port - USB 2.0 at laptop's right side. However it doesn't print anything except this short test message: --- /* Perform a small write. */

Hi Jose, You wrote: "My recommended approach is using the original Intel FW with already included the FD, TXE". What is "original intel FW" ? What is FD, TXE ? After creating coreboot.rom should I always use the original BIOS with ifdtool to convert rom to bin ? Thank you, Zvika On Wed, Sep

Got the fix. I used dpcmd to update the firmware on the FS100 to 5.5.3 Then flashrom can program it with ease. And, ironically, while dpcmd can update the firmware, it still can't flash the part :-) ron -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org

Yes, kernel can be start at any address. You can refer to BBL implementation : https://github.com/riscv/riscv-pk BBL converts vmlinux to binary and inserts it into the section named .payload which is one section of BBL. Because the size of the BBL cannot be known before compiling and linking,

I have a coreboot-libre D16 and it works fine with xen - no errors and I haven't even embedded microcode in coreboot (req for my 43xx/63xx) I instead do an early update from initramfs. I suggest obtaining a null modem serial cable and a real serial pci-e card or expresscard device (nothing
