Now that there is a clearly defined boot state machine we can add some useful post codes to indicate the current point in the state machine by having it log a post code before the execution of each state. This removes the currently defined POST codes that were used by hardwaremain in favor of a new contiguous range that are defined for each boot state. The reason for this is that the existing codes are mostly used to indicate when something is done, which is confusing for actual debug because POST code debugging relies on knowing what is about to happen (to know what may be at fault) rather than what has just finished. One additonal change is added during device init step as this step often does the bulk of the work, and frequently logs POST codes itself. Therefore in order to keep better track of what device is being initialized POST_BS_DEV_INIT is logged before each device is initialized. interrupted boot with reset button and gathered the eventlog. Mosys has been extended to decode the well-known POST codes: 26 | 2013-06-10 10:32:48 | System boot | 120 27 | 2013-06-10 10:32:48 | Last post code in previous boot | 0x75 | Device Initialize 28 | 2013-06-10 10:32:48 | Extra info from previous boot | PCI | 00:16.0 29 | 2013-06-10 10:32:48 | Reset Button 30 | 2013-06-10 10:32:48 | System Reset Change-Id: Ida1e1129d274d28cbe8e49e4a01483e335a03d96 Signed-off-by: Duncan Laurie <dlaurie@chromium.org> Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.chromium.org/gerrit/58106 Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/4231 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Alexandru Gagniuc <mr.nuke.me@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 http://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: * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices Build Requirements ------------------ * gcc / g++ * make Optional: * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation) * iasl (for targets with ACPI support) * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets) * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig') * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers) Building coreboot ----------------- Please consult http://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 http://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: http://www.coreboot.org You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list: http://www.coreboot.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on coreboot is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
