Hi Werner,
Thanks for your help and support. It was indeed due to wrong FSP. D0 stepping is installed and it only worked now with Gold3 FSP and updated microcode.
Thank you very much.

Hi.
Now you have coreboot running. coreboot searches for FSP, finds it and executes the first call into it. FSP returns with an error and what you see is this (taken from src/drivers/intel/fsp/cache_as_ram.inc):
/* * Failures for postcode 0xBB - failed in the FSP: * * 0x00 - FSP_SUCCESS: Temp RAM was initialized successfully. * 0x02 - FSP_INVALID_PARAMETER: Input parameters are invalid. * 0x0E - FSP_NOT_FOUND: No valid microcode was found in the microcode region. * 0x03 - FSP_UNSUPPORTED: The FSP calling conditions were not met. * 0x07 - FSP_DEVICE_ERROR: Temp RAM initialization failed * 0x14 - FSP_ALREADY_STARTED: Temp RAM initialization has been invoked */
So what you actually see is error code 0x07 from FSP. This can mean that your CPU is not supported by this FSP version. If you use GOLD1 or GOLD2, then a D0 stepping is not supported and if you have in advance a D0 stepping installed on your board, than you have to use GOLD3 FSP release as it was already mentioned.
I had the same issue and it was due to missing D0-Support in GOLD1 release. So, I would suggest to try the right FSP-release from Intel.
Bye Werner

With the changed TXE/descriptor, it moved ahead but now toggling between POST codes 0x66 and 0x07. I checked ./src/include/console/post_codes.h and these POST codes are not defined there so I doubt that these are coming from coreboot code. Are these post codes coming from FSP code? If yes, How do I interpret them? Do I need to ask Intel? Any pointers please?

You mentioned just copying the .fd file, so I assumed it was being used directly in your coreboot image. FSP needs to be incorporated into flash, yes. It should, however, be patched with the BCT program as what is provided in the .fd is usually not patched with the a configuration that you desire. Thus you should run bct and configure/patch the .fd and generate a .bin to include into coreboot. I am a little confused by your email below. You state that you are not using the .fd directly then contradict yourself in the next sentence. Bottom line is I would not include any .fd file from the FSP archive directly. Use BCT to patch it and do not name it .fd. This avoids any confusion regarding whether you are including a patched FSP or not. Just because there is a bsf file included in the GOLD release doesn't mean that the .fd was patched with those settings and that it is valid. Best of luck to you. There are many issues you will have to resolve dealing with new hardware. I've gone through the process with a lot of support from Intel and it is not that easy. Especially when certain components found on the CRB are not provided on custom hardware. Cheers, Sean On 11/02/2014 08:01 PM, Gailu Singh wrote:Hi Sean, 1. This is not for a real project and we are trying to understand FSP interaction with coreboot to look at feasibility for considering coreboot in our future projects. Unfortunately I do not have board documentation so was not able to determine which one is serial port 0 though I know that port 0 is specified in coreboot config. That was the reason I was trying on all 3 available ports. 2. I am not using .fd directly. I believe that FSP need to be included in bootloader (coreboot in this case) and we are providing path to coreboot so that it can be included in coreboot. In my original post I only said that I copied .fd to a path expected by coreboot configuration. May I know how did you conclude that I am using it directly? May be that can give me some pointer. 3. I had checked the bsf file in the FSP kit with BCT tool and it is configured for non-ECC RAM, so I believe that no change is required in .fd. Am I wrong? 4. Yes, I agree that there is no documentation available on how to create entire 8MB binary with Firmware Description, TXE, coreboot etc so for safe route I only touched upper 2 MB as recommended in one of the initial commit for baytrail FSP integration and some posts related to similar discussion.

I also would suggest that you seek assistance from either Sage (who has good experience that I understand serves the USA and Europe markets and contributed the current Coreboot+FSP code) or perhaps a company in Asia such as Zien Solutions (of Vietnam). There are a number of issues that you are failing to understand: 1) As stated, the first serial port is actually connected to a USB->Serial converter and delivered out of the microUSB connector on the CRB. 2) You need to configure the FSP with Intels program to create a ROMable image and not use the .fd file directly. 3) BayleyBay needs to be configured for non-ECC RAM whereas Bakersport needs to be configured for ECC. 4) You don't necessarily need the TXE security module, but you could very well cause problems if it is partially overwritten. Best is to create a correct 8MB image to flash that has the proper Intel Firmware Description block at the beginning.

The 0x0000 on the post code display means that it's not actually starting to boot - it's probably hanging in the TXE. There are known issues with upgrading to coreboot from some of the bayleybay roms. I thought Intel was going to document that, but I don't know if they did. The Gold 2 FSP doesn't support D0 parts, so if you have a D0, you need the Gold 3. Also, the FSP is targeted at the embedded sku Baytrail-I. It might work with M/D parts, I haven't tested that. Assuming all that is ok, you probably need to start from a different rom. It might be failing because of the TXE security. You'll probably need to talk to your Intel contact to get that update. Finally, if this is not a personal project, you might be interested in contacting Sage and look at purchasing a BSP to get up and running. Either way, let us know whether you make progress or need more help.

I have serial port (DB9) connected and using 115200 Baud Rate. No message comes on serial at all. Here is the procedure I followed. 1. Pulled latest coreboot from git. 2. Pulled following from BAY_TRAIL_FSP_KIT. The reason for doing it is that BAYTRAIL_FSP.fd is not in git and .config refers to it. Also .config refers to ../intel/cpu/baytrail/microcode a) created intel directory parallel to coreboot and copied BAYTRAIL_FSP_GOLD_002_10-JANUARY-2014.fd in to intel/fsp/baytrail/BAYTRAIL_FSP.fd b) Copied *.h from Microcode folder in the kit to intel/cpu/baytrail/microcode. 3. Configured the coreboot for mainboard as intel bayleybay. My .config is attached. 4. Build Coreboot.

Flashed the coreboot.rom in upper 2MB (0X0600000-0x07FFFFF) 6. Reboot the board 7. Nothing comes on Serial Console (DB9). Also tried to connect Micro usb cable which detects two serial ports but no output to any of them as well. 8. Before flashing coreboot.rom, 4 digit display was displaying something on two digits and rest two were zero. Now all 4 digits stays at zeros. Looking for help to get at least serial working so that I can get some logs to debug it. I do not have copy of original BIOS that was there in Flash and forgot to make a copy using programmer though I ensured that I only touch upper 2MB. I am stuck and have no logs to debug it.
