• I did the port to the M4A785T-M
• I've an x60
• I've an alix.1C

scripts to help getting rid of the vbios of the x60

Script 1: generate the io access for the coreboot driver

• follow "Case study: new laptop (not complete, sorry)" in https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g8FMob25VZYxbWri2iFB8YiSL8gwF9vKJH3HGxr0xQU/edit?pli=1
• pacman -S plan9port
• cp /opt/plan9/bin/ssam ./
• replace the following line in ./ssam:

#!/usr/local/plan9/bin/rc

by the following line:

#!/opt/plan9/bin/rc

• create the ssamfix file with:

 ,s/\[ *[0-9]+\..[0-9]+\]//g
 ,s/^ *//g
y/^[RWU]/s/^/M /g
 ,s/\nU/ ;;;UDELAY/g
 ,|uniq -c
 ,s/^ *//g
 ,s/(^[0-9]+) ([MRW])/\2 \1/g
 ,s/"/\\"/g
 ,s/^M ([0-9]+) *(\[.*)/{M, \1, "\2"},/g
 ,s/^M ([0-9]+) *(.*)/{M, \1, "\2"},/g
 ,s/:  */:/g
 ,s/...UDELAY *([0-9]+)/\1/g
 ,s/^([RW]) ([0-9]+) (.*):0x([0-9a-f]+)(.*)/{\1, \2, "", \3, 0x\4, \5},/g

• run the following commands:

. /etc/profile.d/plan9.sh
cat dmesg| ./ssam  -f ssamfix > foo.c

Script2: compare the io access that were too fast

• Replace {V,0,}, with {V,7,}, in src/mainboard/vendor/device/i915io.c
• cat /dev/ttyUSB0 > accesses.txt
• Use that script against accesses.txt to find the guilty accesses:

#!/usr/bin/env python2
import sys,re
 
def main(args):
	try:
		f = open(args[1],'ro')
	except:
		print args[0], " <file>"

	for line in f:
		if re.match("0x[0-9]*: Got .*, expect .*",line):
			line = line.replace('\r\n',).replace(", expect ",':').replace(": Got ",':')
			split = line.split(':')
			#print split
			if split[1] != split[2]:
				print line
if __name__ == '__main__':
	main(sys.argv)

How to get semantic IOs

In i915tool:

• import your IOs in prettyregs.c
• compile prettyregs.c
• run prettyregs

How to get rid of the vbios of the x60 [New Version]

Apply the coreboot patches, or re-do them for your mainboard Then configure coreboot with:

[*] Output verbose x86emu debug messages
[ ]   Trace JMP/RETF
[ ]   Trace all opcodes
[ ]   Log Plug&Play accesses
[ ]   Log Disk I/O
[ ]   Log PMM
[ ]   Debug VESA BIOS Extensions
[ ]   Redirect INT10 output to console
[ ]   Log intXX calls
[ ]   Log special memory accesses
[ ]   Log all memory accesses
[*]   Log IO accesses

Build and flash coreboot. Then go into i915tool(the official one, not the one in coreboot repository) and apply some patches for the x60 or redo them for your mainboard.

$ cd i915tool/x60

use picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 or stty to set the bauds of the Serial port. Then get logs:

$ cat /dev/ttyUSB0 | tee coreboot.log

Then remove the binary symbols, dos2unix will help identifying where they are:

$ dos2unix coreboot.log 
dos2unix: Binary symbol found at line 136332
dos2unix: Skipping binary file coreboot.log

Then do:

$ dos2unix coreboot.log

Then remove the lines before and after the log, the log looks like that:

[0047229e]c000:51cb outl(0x80001014, 0x0cf8)
[0047325f]c000:51d4 inw(0x0cfc) = 0x50a1
