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

2017-02-24 Thread Martin Roth
My argument is that if nothing at all is shown, its difficult to know if that's because nothing needs to be shown, or because the console is busted. Maybe we break break up the banner, and don't print both romstage and ramstage banners, but just the romstage banner. I'd say that just printing

I think "only print problems / exceptional conditions" is a reasonable use case. All UART output wastes time. Is there a reason you want to see the banner but don't want to run at NOTICE? Maybe the better answer would be to add a new log level (e.g. LOG_IMPORTANT) between NOTICE and WARNING (or

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

How about just changing the die() into a printk(BIOS_ALERT, ...) and an assert(0)? Then people could use CONFIG_FATAL_ASSERTS to select whether they would rather fail fast or try to keep booting as far as possible. On Fri, Feb 24, 2017 at 7:46 AM, ron minnich wrote: > For

Dear coreboot folks, Playing a little with the log levels and QEMU, it turns out that there are no coreboot messages below the log level *NOTICE*. This is expected, but like with SeaBIOS, it’d be a good idea in my opinion to at least output the “banner” of romstage and ramstage. ```

Why wouldn't you just use an interlagos g34/c32 opteron (no me or psp) which is way faster than that first gen intel core you mention, and there are already coreboot boards that have native init. I can't understand the obsession with intel that everyone has. -- coreboot mailing list:

For those of us working on boards that don't ship in a product, the die() is probably not appropriate. But if you intend to ship a real product then you definitely want to die() if someone tries to use a CPU that's not tested on the board. Or at least that's the way it seems to me. On Fri, Feb
