#162: Move SYSTEM_TYPE to Kconfig

#162: Move SYSTEM_TYPE to Kconfig ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: oxygene | Owner: oxygene Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: coreboot | Keywords: Dependencies: | Patchstatus: there is no patch ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- SYSTEM_TYPE is used to tell coreboot if the board is "server", "desktop" or "laptop". It's only used for AMD for now, but could also be used elsewhere to tweak configuration (and there's a flag in some table, maybe ACPI, that tells the OS about the system type, too). It's defined for some boards, there's a default defined somewhere in the code, that looks a lot like a good match for Kconfig. -- Ticket URL: <https://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/coreboot/ticket/162> coreboot <http://www.coreboot.org/>

Attached is a cleaned-up patch. Thanks to Myles and others for excellent help and support. I hope someone finds the result useful.

I865 memory controller status
by James Wall Sept. 9, 2011

Hello all, What is the status of the i865 memory controller? I have a board that all the other chips are supported but the memory controller is a big question mark.

Flashrom as a payload with usb flash drive support
by Tadas Slotkus July 13, 2011

July 13, 2011

Hi, this is for testing. Works for me with seabios. First optimize coreboot for your board, to get some space (remove microcode updates or sth, we need about 60 KB). Sorry haven't checked latest libpayload changes, so something might not work. I will write a blog post about this tomorrow. Thanks, Tadas Slotkus

Hi Ruik, Shouldn't we implement this in the generic AMD CPU code? Then all the motherboards would benefit from it, not only the Asus M2V-MX_SE. Cristi

Patch merged into master: a7559fa Reduce warnings/errors in libpayload when using picky compiler options
