Zvika: The microcode you downloaded doesn't include the binary for your system... read the release notes.
6, 55, 9 = 06-37-09
Download this:
https://github.com/platomav/CPUMicrocodes/blob/master/Intel/cpu30679_plat0F_...
Rename this bin to: 06-37-09 Add the path in "Microcode binary path and filename"
And try again! Jose

Hi Jose,
In menuconfig I have the following options in "Include CPU microcode in CBFS"
- Generate from tree (current selection)
- Include external microcode header files
- Do not include microcode updates
I downloaded the file: microcode-20180807a.tgz
The output of /proc/cpuinfo is: processor: 0 vendor_id: GenuineIntel cpu family: 6 model: 55 model name: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU E3845 @ 1.91GHz stepping: 9 microcode: 0x90a ...
But the folder intel-ucode has no file named: 06-55-09 Does it mean that my CPU does not require micocode ?
Thank you in advance, Zvika

Good day Zvika:
Looks typical the configuration But for DIMM Density to get this information you should run the command I told you yesterday or check the memory chip datasheet.
About the 0xCE postcode you need to set the microcode (or the correct one, or the correct path) in menuconfig.
Jose.

Hi Jose, All,
According to the following outputs, it seems my target has SPD EEPROM. If I understand correctly from your reply, I should modify only: DRAM Type: DDR3 DRAM Speed: 1333 MT/s DIMM 0 Enable: Enabled DIMM 1 Enable: Disabled DIMM_DWidth: x8 DIMM_Density: ??? (Default is 2Gbit) DIMM_BusWidth: 64 DIMM_Sides: 1 Ranks
Am I right ?
I tried booting the target with the modified FSP and got post code : 0xCE There is nothing on the 232 console. There is no such post code in coreboot code. Is it possible that FSP is sending post code ? How can I proceed from here?
Thank you very much, Zvika

Zvika:
In my experience with my Baytrail system I can tell you my system is "really" memory down because has soldered memory chips on the motherboard BUT has also a soldered SPD memory so, if keep "Enable Memory Down = Disabled" in BCT the system fetch memory timings from SPD so, no need to edit memory timings but other things like "DRAM Speed" and "DRAM Type" and other settings (not timings) needs to be edited.
but if still needed to edit timings extract them from SPD with "i2c-tools-perl".... I alredy sent you this information in previous emails and attachments so, look for this.....
Good luck, Jose.

Hello,
The BCT has a "Memory Down" section. Can you please advise how can I know the right values for my board ?
