[MinnowBoard] SageBIOS troubles with Win7

[Leigh Gawne]

Just founds this in the SagsBIOS release notes while digging around:

 

        - SageBIOS_MinnowMax_11_BSP_minnowmax.ehci.rom

          Tested/validated SageBIOS ROM image for MinnowBoard MAX boards,
with

          USB configured as EHCI devices

        - SageBIOS_MinnowMax_11_BSP_minnowmax.rom

          Tested/validated SageBIOS ROM image for MinnowBoard MAX boards,
with

          USB configured as XHCI devices

 

So looks like there are EHCI and XHCI images included in the package
published by Sage, only they don't seem to be where the release notes state
them to be in my package.

 

Any thoughts, perhaps the guys at Sage could help?

 

Many thanks in advance,

 

Leigh

Hi guys,

 

I am testing the SageBIOS OSP download and testing installing/booting some
legacy operating systems.

 

One thing I have come across when installing Windows Embedded Standard 7
(the full fat variant not to be confused with Embedded Compact) is the lack
of USB keyboard and mouse when the installer is started, meaning I can't
actually install the OS on the device directly.

 

Obviously need to dig a little deeper into this, but I am wondering whether
this has to do with the default configuration of the E3800 SoC (apparently)
being XHCI and Windows 7 requiring EHCI. If so, is there any easy way of
configuring the BIOS to support the latter as an option (I guess this means
rebuilding it)?

 

Any help or information around this topic would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Leigh
