Ping - can I get an ack please? I've got a machine running this port for almost 2 months now, so it's at least somewhat useable. The outstanding issues below are not related to this port as such.
Thanks, Ward.
See attached.
There are a number of outstanding issues:
- we don't have the mc_patch_01000086.h CPU ucode file yet which is
referenced in a comment in src/mainboard/supermicro/h8dmr_fam10/Options.lb. AMD has not released it yet. This is not a problem specific to this port.
- I'm seeing toolchain issues. I can't get this tree to compile correctly
with gcc 4.3 (32 bit) - there is an optimization issue where certain parts of the CBFS code execute very slowly. With gcc 3.4 (32 bit) that slowness disappears. This is probably not a problem related to this port specifically.
- setting CONFIG_DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL lower than 8 simply hangs the
boot shortly after the warm reset triggered by the MCP55 code. I think this too might be a toolchain problem (but I see it on gcc 3.4 as well as 4.3).
- during startup, the CPU cores talk through each other on serial for a
while. Again, not an issue specific to this port.
- to avoid very slow LZMA decompression I use this port with LZMA
compression disabled in CBFS. I'm not sure what's causing this particular slowness.
Try enabling CONFIG_XIP_ROM_BASE. It solved the same problem for me in my board.
Thanks, Ward.
