To address the OP, it seems like there is some activity on getting an AGESA RESOURCE_ALLOCATOR_V4 working, but is an AGESA PARALLEL_MP init also needed (and is there any activity or something I can do to help?) Realize resources may not exist to spoon feed problem definitions to a level my brain can handle.
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/48210 and https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/48262/ provided the implementation for PARALLEL_MP on qemu. Notice that modern AMD CPUs (soc/amd/¨*) also use PARALLEL_MP and can be used as an example for AMD AGESA platforms too.
Good luck!

These users didn't contribute fixes to their boards (or even just feedback that things needs to be done and testing when others provide patches) - are they even contributors?
It's easy to argue in favor of "lots of users" (or contributors if you want), but if they're all but invisible, do they even exist?
I contributed a number of changes to address Coverity warnings in the AMD families, and am actively using a corebooted G505s and PC Engines APU. I lurk in the mailing list most of the time, and have a hard time tracking what needs to be done to keep boards alive. On this thread, for example, the updated requirements feel like they are (but are likely not) coming out of the blue.

The rest of the reply might be due to communication losses of non-face to face transmission medium. _______________________________________________ coreboot mailing list -- coreboot@coreboot.org To unsubscribe send an email to coreboot-leave@coreboot.org
