Thank you for advice. I followed the instructions of this change, and after fixing a few compilation errors (had to replace a few %x with %llu at printf's) - using the same .config - I got a ROM which is unbootable! Maybe because I don't have AMD HDT Debugger, and it should've been connected to some usually-not-soldered header for this ROM to boot?
Perhaps I can manually redirect these IDS prints to a standard coreboot log - if that will give some useful info. Or I could dive into AGESA and replace all DDR1333 stuff with a DDR1866 one, to force it running as 1866MHz CL9 - since that "#define BLDCFG_MEMORY_CLOCK_SELECT" seemingly doesn't work for some reason.
Do you have any other ideas to fix this "turtle RAM" AMD 16h problem?
Best regards, Mike Banon

To fix this "turtle RAM" coreboot problem I tried to play with buildOpts.c - https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/33920 , but the things like "#define BLDCFG_MEMORY_CLOCK_SELECT DDR1866_FREQUENCY" sadly did not help.
Any ideas how to improve the RAM speeds? How I can force this RAM to run faster?
Maybe AGESA debugging / IDS tracing is of some assistance? I have not tried it for a while, though.
