[coreboot] Mailing List vs Forum poll

2017-02-24 Thread Martin Roth
As brought up in the last coreboot community meeting, the coreboot project is discussing the idea of switching from the mailing list to a forum. This idea did not originate with the coreboot leadership, but from a request by members of the community. I know many people have some strong feelings

Re: [coreboot] [RFC] Always include coreboot banner in console independent of log level

2017-02-24 Thread Martin Roth
Hi Paul, I agree that it seems reasonable to always print the banner to the console. My recommendation is that we don't even add it as an option. If there's a console set up, write the banner to it. As I recall from Sage's version of coreboot, they made this same change, and printed it at

Hi Paul, checkpatch is currently not a gating item in jenkins and should always pass right now. The checkpatch build was added to jenkins to allow people to see at the results of the console output for the patch without having to download and run checkpatch themselves. Unfortunately,

I believe that the only Xeon chips that are supported by coreboot are using the FSP. These are the Broadwell-DE (Xeon D family) & Ivy Bridge Gladden (E3-1125C / E3-1105C v2). Not that they're high power, but the C2000 (Rangeley/Avaton) chips also use the FSP, but don't have an ME. These are

I'm not really sure what's going on, and without a debug console, it's kind of hard to tell. Here are some random thoughts to give you ideas for what you might want to try next: Does the system boot up otherwise? Is it possible to ssh into it to get the log out with the cbmem utility? That

Hi Maxim, Try this: Remove all of the memory in the board except for one DIMM in the slot furthest away from the processor. AGESA on this chip has a requirement (that some vendors apparently worked around) that DIMMs be populated from the furthest slot to the closest. It looks like the code

Hey, I have this problem even on my W530 and W541 systems with the vendor BIOS, so I don't think this is really coreboot related. I've taken two steps to fix it : 1) I use thinkfan to max out the fan speed early and keep it there longer. 2) I limit the processor speed to its maximum normal speed

Re: [coreboot] Flash ROM access during boot

2017-01-22 Thread Martin Roth
Adding onto what others have said: The additional accesses you're seeing are the cbfs searches for additional ROMS and configuration data. I don't think that it would save much time if we cached the cbfs locations and filenames, but it's possible that it might save a very small amount. I doubt
