I just wanted to bring this back up for discussion. Raptor is chipping
in funding for over half of the development work, and Martin is matching
pledges, so if there's interest in this port your contributions will go
a long way, but it still depends on community interest. Are you willing
to contribute to this development project? It is a limited time offer,
so the quicker we can reach the relatively low goal to get this work
underway the better. :-)
Thanks!

CPU Turbo [KGPE-D16]
by Taiidan＠gmx.com
I am wondering as to:
* Why 6274 cpu refuses to turbo to the second turbo state with half of
the cores in use (it stops around 100mhz before the first turbo state)
* Is it possible to force enable second turbo state for all cpu cores,
assuming adequate cooling? Or is it controlled on the CPU itself?
Off topic but would rather not make another thread:
* Does NUMA ram alignment matter performance wise with only one physical
CPU? (RAM being split half and half per core set at the moment)
* Does anyone know where I could get a reasonably priced 6287SE or
6284SE? or (even better) an engineering model of 62xx?

SPI Flash Writeprotect
by Naveed Ghori
Hi all,
Does Coreboot write to the flash chip it resides on? Can this be disabled?
Verify of the SPI bios chip fails once the unit has booted up at least once.

Re: [coreboot] How to reduce formal issues with new contributions from corporations?

I certainly didn’t mean it that way. I didn’t want to single out anyone
as the black sheep. I apologize, if I offended anyone. I totally agree
with your view.
My focus on corporate developers was motivate by the following two
things.
1. Corporate developers certainly contribute most of the commits and
code.
2. I believe and assume corporations have *additional* ways to reach
“their” developers.

Most people push the commits from the command line I guess, so that –
especially in the beginning – they won’t even access the Web interface?
For corporations the following ideas came to my mind. The assumption is
that in corporations people are higher to see the colleagues in person
or to be in the same building.
1. In each division there is some kind of QA person “holding the hands”
for the first commit.
2. Before somebody starts working on coreboot there is a small
introduction by a colleague already familiar with the guidelines.
3. Do for example Intel, Google or Siemens have documents (tutorials,
videos, presentations) they could share? Would it make sense to
create those?
[…]
Regarding improving the documentation, I guess everyone agrees (and
nobody wants/likes to do it). In my opinion the easiest way would be to
copy as much as possible from other project (like the Linux kernel).
Though that should be discussed separately.
Thanks,
Paul

No external PCIe GPU possible/working on Gigabyte g41m-es2l
by qma ster
Maybe to fix this PCIe GPU issue he just needs to edit a
./coreboot/src/device/Kconfig file?
./coreboot/src/device/Kconfig
change
config MULTIPLE_VGA_ADAPTERS
bool
default n
to
config MULTIPLE_VGA_ADAPTERS
bool
default y
and completely rebuild the coreboot
I enabled these options for my G505S laptop with both integrated/discrete
graphic, however I am not a gamer so can't notice if there is any positive
effect from this option. But maybe this option will significantly improve
the thread starter's eGPU experience? What do you think ?
