I'm trying to get started with LinuxBios by using the AMD SimNow hardware<br>
simulator to run LinuxBios on a Serenade board. Once we have success with<br>
simulations, we will try it on real hardware. The Serenade board is one<br>
of the standard predefined boards that comes with the simulator. Once I compile<br>
serenade.rom and reference this file as the rom device connected to the<br>
8111(replacing the AMI BIOS file), I reboot but don't get too far into the new<br>
Linuxbios, I expected to see recognizable postcodes, such as 0x13 from<br>
c_start.S then 0x80, 0x39, 0x40 etc from hardwaremain(), but port 80 only
toggles<br>
between 00 and 0x10. I try to single step from 0xfffffff0 (or 0xfffbfff0) but<br>
dont see code that looks like c_start.S. Does something come before this?<br>
<br>
I must have built serenade.rom improperly: I did the following,<br>
buildtarget amd/serenade<br>
doneloaded filo.elf<br>
edited serenade/Config.lb to refer to the filo.elf as a payload<br>
make<br>
<br>
Any ideas would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
