Firmware / Re: coreboot for Talos II and Talos II Lite: we looking for beta testers

« on: February 07, 2022, 04:14:52 am »

Just a rough idea of what would have to be changed and/or parametrized, we don't own any Blackbird board so no way of testing. No precise estimations (then again, estimations for Talos II were far from precise...), but given enough resources I'd say it would be possible.

Firmware / Re: wiki incomplete: checking current System Package/BMC/PNOR/FPGA versions?

« on: October 12, 2021, 06:32:11 am »

When following instructions from https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Updating_Firmware#Installed_System_Package_revision_v2.00_or_higher you get to the screen that shows version of installed image, by clicking at blue (...) icon you can also get details about components' versions, see attached screenshot. I don't know if this looks the same on older BMC images, though.

It also doesn't report FPGA firmware version, and as far as I can tell it can only be obtained by reading I2C register as described here. They do not map 1:1 with user-readable versions, however, e.g. v1.08 is 0x0c (https://git.raptorcs.com/git/talos-system-fpga/commit/?id=99368dab3befa7014155bcd250a4cf9bbb30b71a).
