commit 798d195db81dbcdb062eb90d8b91d737aba58996 Author: Paul Menzel paulepanter@users.sourceforge.net Date: Sat Mar 8 10:46:52 2014 +0100
console/Kconfig: Enable CBMEM console by default
Thanks to Kyösti Mälkki’s Google Summer of Code 2013 work, console output to CBMEM (CBMEM console) for ramstage messages works on all boards.
Currently on AMD boards no romstage messages can be saved in CBMEM, so only messages from ramstage on will be stored in CBMEM. Other than that nothing changes.
Enabling CBMEM console by default does not noticeably decrease boot time as the messages are directly written to CAR or RAM.
The board status script under `util/board_status/` reads the coreboot messages from CBMEM, which are then uploaded to the board status repository. With CBMEM console disabled by default, currently no coreboot console messages are uploaded to the board status repository, although it is important to have those.
Enabling CBMEM console by default improves this situation, so that for all boards at least ramstage messages are stored in the board status repository.
