Re: [coreboot] How to improve the boot time of the Asus KGPE-D16?
by Daniel Kulesz
Hi,
I wanted to try caching of the MRC training data. As described in Timothy's post, I commented the following line:
> allow_config_restore = 0;
However, I was not able to measure any effects regarding boot time. Does this setting only work with cbfs enabled? And if so, is it necessary to set additionally any cbfs variables?
Cheers, Daniel
P.S.
Hope this time I've set the Reply-To header correctly.

Where to buy the KCMA-D8? *brand new*
by Taiidan＠gmx.com
Does anyone know? I have checked everywhere
I can't find the accessories for the board family either (TPM etc)
I would just get another KGPE-D16 but I want to make a router with one
of the 35W C32 "EE" opterons and the retail price is a little cheaper.
And does anyone know how much longer they are making the KGPE-D16? I
wanna buy more before they stop (I could get arm or power, but I still
need x86 to play video games) I suppose it is possible to port to
another better available similar board like something from supermicro
(H8DGI-way, way better specs, first released 2014) but I have no idea
how complex that is.

W25Q128FW, also 1.8v. What application do you use to drive em100?
Official one from Dediprog or the open linux one? Also, what em100
firmware# you have, perhaps yours is old?

Seeking developer interviews for the Denver conference presentation
by Marc Jones
Hi coreboot devs,
I'm seeking several people that wouldn't mind sharing a little about
themselves to interviewed for a fun and informative presentation at the
Denver conference. The ideal candidate is someone that has contributed to
coreboot and maybe isn't able to attend the conference. Please contact me
if you wouldn't mind answering a few questions, sending a selfie, and photo
of your development setup.
Regards,
Marc

Re: [coreboot] What do each of the letters B...? , L...? , O...? , B...? represent in the acronym BLOB ?

Also quoting wikipedia (but real dictionaries will agree or have more
details),
"A blob is a shapeless mass."
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blob)
I think this definition transfers well to blobs in software, though.
Without intrusive tools (a disassembler, etc.) you can't make out the
structural details of a blob.
Thanks,
Jonathan

please try clearing bits 3 (Quad I/O Read Enable) and 2 (Quad Output
Read Enable) at 0x108 offset.

I'm surprised anyone answered - you would think someone at a gnu address
would already know what a BLOB is, and is therefore being rhetorical. :P
