Hi
Regarding the deprecation of AGESA platforms due to ROMCC_BOOTBLOCK.
As of 3rd December there is active development, while not much testing yet, only for the following AGESA platform boards:
* asrock/imb-a180 * lenovo/g505s * pcengines/apu1
Developers will help people who have these platforms to bring their board sources to current standards. The process begins by uploading a fresh board-status result for the board you volunteer to work on and announce this by replying to this thread.
Using one of the above boards as a sample, it might not take more than 30 minutes and two boots to make the required transition. But first we need to have the above boards working of course.
Our board-status repository has some previous results for the boards listed below, and we need your assistance to keep these boards in:
* amd/olivehill * amd/persimmon * amd/thatcher * asrock/e350m1 * asus/am1i-a * asus/f2a85-m * biostar/am1ml * gizmosphere/gizmo * hp/pavilion_m6_1035dx * jetway/nf81-t56n-lf * lippert/frontrunner-af * msi/ms7721
Same offer and request of help as above applies to the following boards, for which we have no previous board-status records:
* amd/inagua * amd/parmer * amd/south_station * amd/union_station * bap/ode_e20XX * biostar/a68n_5200 * elmex/pcm205400 * gizmosphere/gizmo2 * hp/abm * lippert/toucan-af
Any board with ROMCC_BOOTBLOCK will be disabled from automatic build-testing by 14th December at latest, such that ROMCC_BOOTBLOCK removal in common code can proceed. Boards that see no activity will be removed from the tree 31st December 2019.
Once a board has its source removed, it will face the standard review process should someone want to bring it back. Reincarnations until next (4.12) release might not be accepted.
Kind regards, Kyösti Mälkki
