Tested with GRUB 2.02 as a payload, booting Arch Linux as well as Debian. This code is based on the output of autoport as well as other mainboards supported in coreboot already. Working: - Serial port I/O - S3 suspend/resume. Untested with SeaBIOS since it failed to resume on a similar board. It is likely to be due to low memory corruption, but I have not worked on it. - USB ports and headers - USB3 ports attached to the ASM1042 controller. SeaBIOS can boot from them, and it is likely GRUB can detect devices on those ports as well. The chip has a small SPI flash nearby, which seems to hold an Option ROM. - Gigabit Ethernet - Integrated graphics (libgfxinit) - VGA BIOS for integrated graphics init - PCIe x16 graphics - PCIe x1 - SATA controller - Hardware Monitor - Fan Control (fancontrol on linux works well) - Native raminit - flashrom, using the internal programmer. Tested with coreboot, as well as with the vendor firmware. - NVRAM settings. Only debug_level has been tested. Untested: - DVI port. It can detect a "fake" display, that is, an EEPROM connected to the DVI port. Thus, gma-mainboard.ads has been setup accordingly. - PS/2 port. - Audio: Only rear output (green) has been tested. - EHCI debug. - Parallel port header. - Non-Linux OSes - ACPI thermal zone and fan control (probably not working) Not working: - Booting from devices attached to the ASM1061 controller. Devices on ports work fine once Linux has loaded. - Any SATA devices with Tianocore (payload issue) Change-Id: I7e89ebe43a2e1ff0308f4876e98bbf2f5a0d85f2 Signed-off-by: Angel Pons <th3fanbus@gmail.com> Reviewed-on: https://review.coreboot.org/26419 Reviewed-by: Nico Huber <nico.h@gmx.de> Reviewed-by: Paul Menzel <paulepanter@users.sourceforge.net> Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) <no-reply@coreboot.org> |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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: * https://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards * https://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices 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_TOOLCHAIN Kconfig 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 menuconfig' and 'make 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: https://www.coreboot.org You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list: https://www.coreboot.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on coreboot is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
