This document is meant as an introduction/guide to how a Nokia IP530 can be flashed, i

did it with what's all in here. I am not, nor do I pretend to be, a Nokia IP530 (for its

original BIOS that is) expert. ;-) I am just some guy who has implemented coreboot on

the IP530 and likes computers more than most people.

Please, I am writing these to help people get acquainted with this subject, and I am not

ready to stake my life on the accuracy of what is in here.

4 Introduction

The most recent version of this document can always be found at <

I'd also like to thank all the developers OF www.flashrom.org and www.coreboot.org.

Please note that this writer is dyslexic. And so forgive me any mistakes.

This HOWTO will go over the basics of how the flash rom of a Nokia IP530 can be

flashed. This HOWTO describes the procedure for replacing the original bios with the

open source BIOS Coreboot.

If you find differences in your packages, please email me and I'll update this HOWTO.

4.1 Assumptions

In this document are the following assumptions made;

1. You have knowledge of OS's like FreeBSD and Linux.

2. You have knowledge of software packages svn, gnu compilers, linkers, libraries

and other development tools.

3. The Coreboot image should at least contain SeaBios and optionally sgabios from

Google.com. This is VGA emulation bios that put the output to the serial port.

4.2 Problems

In the case that you get an error while running Flashrom you need to contact the

#flashrom on IRC and ask the questions there. You need the log of lspci -xxxvvv >

lspci.log [enter], superiotool > superior.log [enter], getpir [enter] this

creates a file pirq_routing.c. These files should be placed on to www.pastebin.com and

the resulting link should be pasted to the IRC room. Or you can send a email to flashrom

mailing list, see www.flashrom.org/Mailinglist. Include the files in your mail.

This is for all the following steps. Be aware that you do not switch of the IP530 while in

an error state. When you do so you render the system useless. And then you need and

flash rom adaptor to recover from this.

5 Procedure

5.1 The first step.

When you have obtained the executable for Flashrom (www.flashrom.org) and a

Coreboot BIOS image (www.coreboot.org) with SeaBios (www.seabios.org) you can

directly start with this procedure. The original Nokia IP530 BIOS will only boot a

FreeBSD disk, on flash or real disk. When using a Flash I suggest use a 1Gb Compact

Flash card in an adaptor in a donor PC, otherwise use a normal HDD in the donor PC.

Setup with a FreeBSD live CD image on the disk.

Adjust the following;

•Set the kernel parameters so that the console output is routed to the first serial port

with speed 9600 NONE 1 stopbit.

•Set the serial port(2), speed 9600 NONE 1 stopbit in the configuration to accept a

terminal session.

•Optionally install ssh.

•Copy the Flashrom executable and the Coreboot rom image to the disk. For

example to the /bios directory.

•When running Linux compiled executables on a FreeBSD system you need the

following additional steps;

ocopy the following libraries from the Linux system to the FreeBSD

system. Place them in the appropriate directory.

libpci3.so

libftdi1.so

•Copy the following tools from the Linux system (only required when running into

problems, but that can not predicted). These files can be placed into the /usr/bin or /

bios directory.

olspci

osuperiotool (part of Coreboot)

ogetpir (part of Coreboot)

•Load the kernel module for running Linux images on the FreeBSD system

5.2 Booting the Nokia IP530 ith FreeBSD.

Place the CF card or HDD (when installing a HDD removed the CF card (if still present)

from the IP530, you don't need it). Connect a NUL-Modem cable between the IP530 and

a other system where you can run a terminal program (or even a real serial terminal).

When the IP530 starts the original BIOS starts with speed 9600 Bps set the terminal

accordingly. Now turn on the power and the IP530 shows its startup screen on the

terminal console. And that it's booting FreeBSD OS.

5.3 Reading the original flash-rom.

>flashrom -r original-bios.rom [enter]

Now the Flashrom program shows information about its self and shows that the current

flash chip is supported for read, write and verify, and that for EARSE is Flashrom

untested (this is not a problem, because the ERASE is done every programming action).

Then it continues with that's it reading the ROM. A file 'original-bios.rom' is created.

This is only done to have a fallback when something goes wrong with the flashing of the

image.

In case of an error see 4 2 Problems

5.4 Testing the riting the flash-rom.

To test if the flash utility works properly now enter the next command:

>flashrom -w original-bios.rom [enter]

Now the Flashrom program shows information about its self. When a message appears

that the flash could not be written. you have an incorrect version of Flashrom. In this case

no harm done the original BIOS is still in the flash chip.

When it continues with the message Erasing the flash. And continues with programming

the flash. When this steps succeeds you can go on to the update.

In case of an error see 4 2 Problems

5.5 Update the flash-rom.

Now to flash the flash rom with the Coreboot image, use the following command:

>flashrom -w <imagefile> [enter]

Now the Flashrom program shows information about its self and continues with the

message Erasing the flash rom. And continues with programming the chip. Now the new

Coreboot BIOS is in the Nokia. As an extra step you can check it with the following

command

>flashrom -V <imagefile> [enter]

It should tell you that the verify has completed and the images matches.

In case of an error see 4 2 Problems

5.6 Rebooting the system.

Now you can reboot the system by

>reboot [enter]

Or;

>shutdown -h now [enter] and switching the power OFF and ON.

Now the system should just reboot and you should be able the login to FreeBSD again.

When it's booted you can setup a new Linux or other OS on a donor PC. Or when using

sgabios you should be able to use a CD-ROM on the secondary IDE controller with live

CD that supports basic text interface or even serial console. I use an image based on

http://ciffer.net/~svend/tech/livesc/ this is a Debian based image.

6 References and Resources

The following URLs were incredibly useful in writing this HOWTO and generally

getting ACPI up and running.

www.coreboot.org Coreboot (formerly known as LinuxBIOS) is a Free Software

project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) you

can find in most of today's computers. It performs just a little bit

of hardware initialization and then executes a so-called payload.

www.flashrom.org Flashrom is a utility for identifying, reading, writing, verifying

and erasing flash chips. Flashrom is designed to flash BIOS/EFI/

Coreboot/firmware/option ROM images on main boards,

network/graphics/storage controller cards, and various

programmer devices.

www.seabios.org SeaBIOS is an open source implementation of a 16bit X86 BIOS.

SeaBIOS can run in an emulator or it can run natively on X86

hardware with the use of Coreboot.

http://code.google.com/p/sgabios/

The Google Serial Graphics Adapter BIOS or SGABIOS

provides a means for legacy x86 software to communicate with

an attached serial console as if a video card were attached.

SGABIOS is designed to be inserted into a BIOS as an option

rom to provide over a serial port the display and input

capabilities normally handled by a VGA adapter and a keyboard,

and additionally provide hooks for logging displayed characters

for later collection after an operating system boots. It is designed

to handle all text mode output sent to the legacy video bios int

10h service routine. INT 10h is the most common method for

displaying characters in 16-bit legacy x86 code.

www.google.com All well to known.....

And all sites that i found that gave me every little bit of information to get Coreboot

working on the Nokia IP530.

Tail

Much of the information for this document has been trawled from the various Linux

newsgroups, websites and IRC channels. I am sorry I did not keep a record of everyone

who has indirectly contributed by this route, thank you all very much.

So, to sum up:

Making a Nokia - IP530 work with any OS with Coreboot, SeaBios and sgabios, it’s a

neat trick but it can be done.

That’s all folks…….
