Eric,
Yes, I'm reading the CPU documentation now.
I found the code in northbridge/amd/amdk8 seems only support single node now. So step you will add SMP support via MACRO define. ( CONFIG_SMP and CPU_NUM ). Is it right?

Ron,
I have tried the romimage in AMD solo 7 MB, and the LinuxBIOS can boot
until
Etherboot. So the ROM image I built should be OK.
There are a lot of hard codes that need to removed, in that code. It is only appropriate for developers wanting to improve it. It is not appropriate for general purpose use yet.
The Tyan s2880 has two CPUs and supported dual channel DDR. The Opteron
CPU
is for Server/workstation and The cpu for AMD solo is for desktop (Crawhammer).
Any advise.
Read the fine cpu documentation.
Beyond that if you get to the point where you are actively working and contributing this I would be happy to synchronize with you. Until that point all I can say is that the code is coming along, but the code is quite a ways from being general purpose yet.
