This adds a new port for the ASRock H77 Pro4-M motherboard. It is microATX-sized with an LGA1155 socket and four DIMM sockets for DDR3 SDRAM. The port was initially done with autoport. It is quite similar to the ASRock B75 Pro3-M which is already supported by coreboot. Working: - Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge CPUs (tested: i5-2500, Pentium G2120) - Native RAM initialization with four DIMMs of two different types - PS/2 combined port (mouse or keyboard) - Integrated GPU by libgfxinit on all monitor ports (DVI-D, HDMI, D-Sub) - PCIe graphics in the PEG slot - All three additional PCIe slots - All rear and internal USB2 ports - All rear and internal USB3 ports with reasonable transfer rates - All six SATA ports from the PCH (two 6 Gb/s, four 3 Gb/s) - All two SATA ports from the ASM1061 PCIe-to-SATA bridge (6 Gb/s) - Rear eSATA connector (multiplexed with one ASM1061 port) - Console output on the serial port of the Super I/O - SeaBIOS 1.15.0 to boot slackware64 - SeaBIOS 1.15.0 to boot Windows 10 (needs VGA BIOS) - Internal flashing with flashrom-1.2 (needs `--ifd -i bios --noverify-all`) - External flashing with flashrom-1.2 and a Raspberry Pi 1 - S3 suspend/resume from either Linux or Windows 10 Not working: - Booting from the two SATA ports provided by the ASM1061 - Automatic fan control with the NCT6776D Super I/O Untested: - VBT (it is included, though) - Infrared header Change-Id: Ic2c51bf7babd9dfcbaf69a5019b2a034762052f2 Signed-off-by: Michael Büchler <michael.buechler@posteo.net> Reviewed-on: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/45317 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) <no-reply@coreboot.org> Reviewed-by: Angel Pons <th3fanbus@gmail.com> |

coreboot README
coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload.
With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required.
coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.
Payloads
After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.
See https://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.
Supported Hardware
coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.
For details please consult:
Build Requirements
- make
- gcc / g++
Because Linux distribution compilers tend to use lots of patches. coreboot
does lots of "unusual" things in its build system, some of which break due
to those patches, sometimes by gcc aborting, sometimes - and that's worse -
by generating broken object code.
Two options: use our toolchain (eg. make crosstools-i386) or enable the
ANY_TOOLCHAINKconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case). - iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
- pkg-config
- libssl-dev (openssl)
Optional:
- doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
- gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
- ncurses (for
make menuconfigandmake nconfig) - flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)
Building coreboot
Please consult https://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.
Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware
If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU.
Please see https://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.
Website and Mailing List
Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:
