alix.2c3 stops at mainboard_pre_payload: done

Hello!

I'm experimenting with alix.2c3 here, but have no luck.
I tried coreboot v3 (r870, r898) with filo (r64, r80) and coreinfo
(r3640) payloads (with libpayload r3640). All ends up with following:

last n-lines snippet (can do full log if it's needed)

Wrote coreboot table at: 0x00000500 - 0x00000bbc  checksum 50f0

Please do send the full log.

This can look ominous but v3 does not know how many segments there
are in the payload and will try to load them in order until one can't
be found.

coreboot seems to stop in the middle of writing tables to RAM.

ok, will do as soon as I will get to my alix

build payload
get coreboot from svn

Yes, I definately agree with you. The v3 build system still has bugs.

Perfect. I hope those logs can tell us more.

Looks pretty good. Give me a few minutes, I'll compare with my 1c.

already tried not to preparse payload, with coreboot-v3 svn it gives
the same "mainboard_pre_payload" message , just tried with buildrom:

I would expect it to always appear. I think it's a bug that it
doesn't appear for me when using the ELF loader.

That does not match my results. Hmm.

This is not using the ELF loader, this is trying to load a preparsed
payload.

your build is misconfigured somehow.

You are loading an ELF payload and ELF is not built in as part of your build.

2 suggestions: get an image from someone else that is "known good",
and burn and test it. That will verify hardware. Second, send us your
v3 config file. Something is wrong with your build.

I can help with that. I'll send you an image in a separate message Roman.

Well.. it works!
btw, with filo already loaded it shows post code 96 anyway!

Ok. I believe your problem is with the payload. If you have a chance,
try with the ELF loader and adding an ELF payload without lar -e.

Then, try reconfiguring without the ELF loader and add payload with
lar -e.

Please note that the v3 build system does not neccessarily handle
dependencies correctly yet, so it is always best to rm -rf build or
make distclean when changing configuration.

> btw, with filo already loaded it shows post code 96 anyway!

The payloads probably don't output any new codes.

Great.

So, as Peter said, payload problems. There is one thing to make sure; if you
use a filo or etherboot payload, you should disable lzma compression (it does
not work for those payloads).

Thanks,
Ward.

That's good. It definitely does not work in v2 though.

finally I got it working!
versions/revisions I use: libpayload r3640, filo r80, coreboot r912
didn't try compression yet but it works for me ONLY with preparsed
payload (and adding it manually, not within coreboot build system)

./build/util/lar/lar -l bios.bin

Neither VSA nor payload. Never has for me.

I understand VSA but every platform I build for includes the payload
just fine. This is weird. Are you including the ELF parser in coreboot
or are you doing pre-parsing?

well, yes it adds payload (preparsed or not) but it simply doesn't
work... at least for me

Hm, ok. Yes, the build system doesn't include either VSA or payload.
I'd love to get that fixed.

Only for boot speed. zerofill is used to "finalize" the larball so
that scanning it's contents is as fast as possible. Without it,
coreboot spends a lot of time during boot searching for files in
unprogrammed flash memory.

Yes, works well on the 1c.

build system includes payload.

Heres' my dbe62 script:

#!/bin/bash

cp build/bios.bin /tmp/d.bin

lar -a /tmp/d.bin amd_vsa_lx_1.01.bin:blob/vsa

lar z /tmp/d.bin

lar l /tmp/d.bin

here's the relevant bits of .config I use:

# Payload

# CONFIG_PAYLOAD_ELF_LOADER is not set

CONFIG_PAYLOAD_ELF=y

# CONFIG_PAYLOAD_NONE is not set

Great! Then the problem must be the path in my (and Roman's) setup.

Sorry! No not at all!

The serial port on alix1c is on the Winbond superio chip. The alix2
and 3 boards do not have this superio chip and their serial port is
connected directly to the 5536 - and this is probably the reason that
serial doesn't work anymore.

The 5536 port shall of course work too, but the Winbond chip is much
more common.

I only meant that I haven't spent any time on my 3c3 board since I
fried it.

Sorry for the confusion!

that's interesting.. but seems like kernel correctly detects ttyS0 and
spits it's messages to it

....
console [tty0] enabled
console [ttyS0] enabled
....
Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 2 ports, IRQ sharing disabled
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a NS16550A
....

but after init starts it doesn't work anymore :(

I don't understand - serial works fine for me on the 2c3. Getting serial to
work was in fact the 'hardest' part of doing the 2c3 port based on the .1c
code, because of the absense of the winbond superio chip. It required all of
changing a few lines of code :)

Thanks,
Ward.

that image you gave me.. serial works with it for you, right? (I didn't check)
also what kind of linux distribution you have? does it work with busybox also?

Something is wrong then - unless you're not looking at the right speed?
115200 baud.

Note that that image I gave you will not send out much on serial, I reduced
the coreboot log level because the alix.2c3 does not have a cmos battery and
thus will always default to the hardcoded log level when powered on - and
that's set to SPEW right now in the buildrom version. But you should see some
output, and then a very quick jump to filo.

Now - if your grub.list file on disk does not specify serial, you might not
see filo on serial either. Does it?

Thanks,
Ward.

I can boot my kernel with your image, that's fine (I can see bios, filo and 
kernel messages), but as soon as init starts there is no serial console 
anymore. Very strange. But at the same time no problem with native bios...

Ah! Now we are talking. So your serial works until you hit init.

That is a bit odd. It's entirely possible that coreboot is not doing
something that busybox requires, but that is not required by init/(m)getty on
debian. I'm not sure what that would be though :/

Ward.

Yes, it does work for me. At 115200n8 of course. Note that the alix ships
with tinybios set to a (much) lower speed.

No - it's a full-blown debian.

Sure:

# cat /proc/cmdline 
root=LABEL=ROOT_FS console=ttyS0,115200n8

and from inittab, this is the relevant line:

I should try getty from busybox (I use /bin/login now)... Maybe the problem is 
there. I'll build new linux image and let you know.
Thanks for hint ;)

Here's what I use:

s0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -n -l /bin/bash 115200 ttyS0 ansi

(that way, no login prompt)

Well, I do need login :)

so..
ttyS0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 38400
work just fine with coreboot and busybox

It's now obvious that somebody (coreboot or busybox's /bin/login) not
doing something...
Where this issue should be addressed?

OK, there was for some time a weird problem in linux w.r.t. com ports.
This was years ago. I barely remember it. But setup on com ports would
fail if some hardware setting was not quite right. This problem you
are having sure sounds like that old problem.

Can you test a different version of login?

It does work. I have two alix.2c3's in production with coreboot. I used
buildrom to build the images. Try that first maybe?

Thanks,
Ward.

I will say, long term, that you want elf preparsing to work.
