[MinnowBoard] Coreboot with SeaBIOS issue

Wed Mar 4 19:35:34 UTC 2015

Hi,

I'm having a problem running a Minnowboard Max rev A2 booting from a rom
created by coreboot with a SeaBios payload. When I boot, I see SeaBIOS on
the screen and a prompt to press F12 for options. However, the USB keyboard
does not appear to be working (F12 has no response and numlock light will
not illuminate). I also cannot boot via SeaBIOS from my SATA drive or SD
which I could on the default Minnowboard Max firmware ROM.

Can you guys help me figure out what I am doing incorrectly?

Is there a pre-built Minnowboard Max Coreboot+payload(SeaBios or other) ROM
I could use to help with my debugging?

My technical details are below:
1. Starting firmware on Minnowboard Max is
"MinnowBoard.MAX.0.77.X64.R01.bin" which has keyboard functionality and was
used to load CentOS7 Linux on SATA HDD.
2. Coreboot rom built with GOLD3 FSP according to "
http://elinux.org/Minnowboard:MinnowMaxCoreboot"
 Note: I had to manually edit the file
"coreboot-master\src\vendorcode\intel\fsp\baytrail\absf\minnowmax_2gb.absf"
line 67 in order to get past a version error during the "make" command
from: $gPlatformFspPkgTokenSpaceGuid_PcdImageRevision          4 bytes
$_AS_BUILT_ = 0x2, 0x3, 0x0, 0x0 $_DEFAULT_ = 0x00000302
to: $gPlatformFspPkgTokenSpaceGuid_PcdImageRevision          4 bytes
$_AS_BUILT_ = 0x3, 0x3, 0x0, 0x0 $_DEFAULT_ = 0x00000303
3. flash last 3M of coreboot rom into last 3M of SPI flash using Dediprog
SF100
4. boot Minnowboard Max and observe HDMI output on monitor and RS232 output
on terminal

I am seeing ~1000 lines of info dumped over RS232 during boot and about 5
lines of text on the HDMI monitor. I am including the last few lines of
serial output below:
