[coreboot] Re: AM1I-A Failing to Boot

[Matt B]

Question specifically for Kyösti Mälkki or those similarly knowledgeable:

My current .config seems to say I'm still using romcc.
I assume I've pulled the latest ("git clone
https://review.coreboot.org/coreboot" as of a couple days ago) so would
those changes you mentioned be present?
If so, is there an option to test the C bootblock in the menu somewhere?

Thanks,
    -Matt
