Subject: Re: [coreboot] Unable to power up db800 with coreboot
To: Marc Jones <marc.jones@amd.com>


Hi Marc,
 
Not sure if that is the case because after programming the chip I verify the contents and they are same. Btw the flash chip that I am using is Intel's N82802AB which is of the same size as the flash part that the board was shipped with SST49LF004B.
 
One more thing, I have built coreboot manually instead of using buildrom after which i have patched vsa.
 
Regards,
Phani

Phani,

This seems like the ROM didn't get programmed correctly. You should get
something on the serial port. Note I think that there is a errata on
some db800s where the serial doesn't work on a reset (should work from
power off). Information should be available from Logic.
