<small>Hello,<br>
<br>
I'm now trying to get coreboot working on a Supermicro H8QME-2+ board.
This board is really similar to the H8DMR/H8DMR_FAM10 boards already
supported by coreboot. Since my board is populated with 4 Opteron
family 10 processors I thought of trying to compile the H8DMR_FAM10 to
get a rom and flash it to board to see what happens. But compiling I
got the section overlaps error since its recommended to increase the
ROM_IMAGE_SIZE I added the following lines to Kconfig:<br>
<br>
config ROM_IMAGE_SIZE<br>
hex<br>
default 0x15800<br>
depends on BOARD_SUPERMICRO_H8DMR_FAM10<br>
than a made a make distclean, make config, make and got following
message:<br>
<br>
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld:
section .reset [00000000fffffff0 -> 00000000ffffffff] overlaps
section <br>
.rom [00000000ffff5800
-> 000000010000929f]<br>
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld:
/home/knut/Documents/Supertrunk4978/build/coreboot: section .reset vma
0xfffffff0 overlaps previous sections<br>
<br>
Taking a good look at the ranges I increased ROM_SIZE to 0x100000000
and it worked but not at all because:<br>
<br>
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld:
section .id [00000001fffeff58 -> 00000001fffeff7f] overlaps section<br>
.rom [00000001fffe0000 ->
00000001ffff3a9f]<br>
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld:

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld:
/home/knut/Documents/Supertrunk4978/build/coreboot: section .romstrap
vma 0x1fffeffa0 overlaps previous sections<br>
<br>
now it's .id that overlaps section .rom and not .reset :( <br>
<br>
Now I followed the instructions on the coreboot side about section
overlaps and I did this:<br>
<br>
00000001ffff3a9f-00000001fffeff58= 3b47 => 3b48<br>
<br>
config ROM_IMAGE_SIZE<br>
hex <br>
default 0x100003b48<br>
depends on BOARD_SUPERMICRO_H8DMR_FAM10<br>
</small><small>make distclean, make config, make and got <br>
<br>
<br>
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld:

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld:
/home/knut/Documents/Supertrunk4978/build/coreboot: section .id vma

/home/knut/Documents/Supertrunk4978/build/coreboot: section .romstrap
vma 0x1ffff3ae8 overlaps previous sections<br>
I can see that no only the .rom range changed but also the .id range
should it do that?? So what can I do to make it work?<br>
<br>
A little frustrated I successfully compiled the H8DMR rom and flashed
it into the bios chip thinking that at least some debug messages should
appear since on both boards the way to the winbond chip is the same but
I only got some ????·$·)"?· rubbish. I of course tested the serial
before and it worked fine. <br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
