no. Here's my thinking. It could decode those bits and then say, "This is appropriate to an UNTERMINATED bus with ONE row of DIMMS and 4 devices. " "The DRAM hardware is configured for CL 2.5'
hrm, you don't *need* to decode bits for that. If the value is "0xF2F100FF 0x56960004", it is unterminated. That's it. Other values of that 64 bit register mean different configurations.
in fact I'm actually working with a mobo vendor RIGHT NOW to create this type of 'what are the settings' tool for barcelona so we can track down a bug. Would that we had it.
Is it booting? AMD provides a couple of tools to to check registers already. One of them is more than just a parser, and actually verifies all the relevant settings against "what they should be". Have you tried those tools? We try to use those tools on any BIOS release version, and especially whenever something major changes, like AGESA.
