the following patch was just integrated into master: commit 639293da17094e58b9ff95bb2c1b8fb738b01df3 Author: Kyösti Mälkki kyosti.malkki@gmail.com Date: Wed Apr 18 20:33:35 2012 +0300
Intel e7505: enable ECC scrubbing
It takes about 3 seconds to scrub 8GiB DDR266 RAM.
After ECC scrub XIP cache is disabled for system stability. There is very little to do in romstage after ECC scrub, especially when RAM debug messages are turned off. So the delay caused by this is hardly noticeable.
Cache for complete ROM is re-enabled before ramstage is decompressed, and it has no unstability issues. So the code required to re-enable cache for ROM currently already exists in cache-as-ram_ht.inc.
A Kconfig option HW_SCRUBBER enables the scrub to be run on hard reboots and power-ons.
