GIZMO 2 auto power on

My next suggestion is that you review the videos on our site to see if you can glean something useful from them.

In addition, you may wish to try the following:

First, download the SageBIOS BSP for Gizmo from here: http://www.se-eng.com/gizmobsp

You’ll find a set of instructions to follow in “SageBIOS Installation Instructions” here: http://www.se-eng.com/bsp-installation-information

Work through these steps, and BEFORE you get to Step 7 of the instructions, make the code change shown below.

This change should be added to the file coreboot/src/mainboard/gizmosphere/gizmo/mainboard.c at the end of the mainboard_enable() ftn.

/*Configure the system to always boot up when power is applied */

u8 byte = pm_ioread(SB_PMIOA_REG5B);
byte &= 0xf8; //clear bits 0-2
byte |= 0×05; //set bits 0 and 2
pm_iowrite(SB_PMIOA_REG5B, byte);

After you’ve added this code, go back to complete Step 7.

Then, after it builds, follow the instructions for downloading the ROM image from our Wiki page: http://www.se-eng.com/wiki/index.php/SmartProbe_and_Sage_EDK_Users_Guide#Download_the_ROM_image_to_the_Target

Hi,

Thanks Clem for the quick reply. I now see where this came from BUT in reading these original posts it seems that no-one actually got the BIOS to actually build successfully - mind you there may be more on this on Gizmosphere (if only I could access it).

Oh well, the Gizmo 2 looked to be such a great tool for my work but without being able to have to auto power on it is useless to me. I didn't expect to have to go through such complicated hoops to get a simple board to boot up on power on.

I wish I had one to provide a tutorial for you.
