Hi everyone,
The Tyan S2735 a Socket 604 (Intel) board it is which CAR it uses I found. "Why care I should?" yourself you ask. Because eight boards which socket 604 use, ROMCC they are.
dell/s1850 intel/jarrell intel/xe7501devkit supermicro/x6dai_g supermicro/x6dhe_g supermicro/x6dhe_g2 supermicro/x6dhr_ig supermicro/x6dhr_ig2
This a bug to be considered is. Any 604 board as CAR work it should this means. Move them all to CAR we should.
Alex

See patch.
While the previous two patches were innocently trivial and abuild tested, this one _will_ break the build for several Socket 604 boards. We want the build to be broken until we can port those to CAR.
See patch for verbosity.

Please provide a patch that does that. Actually we don't want the build to be broken. ;-)

Did you verify that all CPUs that can be plugged into a Socket 604 can actually do CAR?

See Episode IV. I can only do so much at once. There are nine boards in this situation. I can't do all of them at once, so please be patient. More patches will be coming in the following days/week/two weeks (depending on how busy I am).

Pentium, P2, and P3 can all do CAR. The 604 Xeons, which are based on P4 can most definitely do CAR.

To that 603 Xeons as well add.

Yes I am a little confused. Alex did you actually test CAR on a Socket 604 board? Or is this all just abuilded?

I researched the matter, found that those CPUs support it, and I even found that a board already implemented CAR for 604 CPUs. Please the Preludium read if the chance yet got you not you have. No I do not have a 604 board, and did not test this on a 604 board.

Sorry to say Alex, unless someone can with the hardware (at least one board can confirm) I will have to sit this one out. I know from developing CAR for both i830 and i810 that things can got wrong very easily, and if they do you will not even get serial output.... Sorry.

Sorry to say that someone with the Tyan board I mentioned has already tested, otherwise it would not have been committed as CAR in the tree, and I would not have wasted this monumental amount of time converting the rest.
Tyan S2735 is the board you're looking for. If this is not enough for you, then please shoot me. :)

The S2735 is a dual Xeon server board. While I am pretty sure that this one worked nicely at some point, I don't think that this suggests that we should enable the same CAR code on all other socket 604 boards without testing.

Umh, the same CAR code is used for all supported Intel CPUs. I don't know why you guys are so skeptical on this. It's code that's been proven to work on numerous CPUs, including the socket that this patch is referring to.

No, it's not. It just happens to live in a directory that seems to imply this. There are quire a number of Intel CPUs that don't work with that code (Intel Core/Core 2 and Atom being some of the ones that are supported by special code). In fact, I think the code in cpu/intel/car only supports a very small number of Intel CPUs.

You'sa point is well seen; however, your previous arguments about thrashing these patches are not. As far as debating those arguments, I'm just too tired to pointlessly try to get people to do something useful. :(

I hope you don't mind my submitting two patches in one email. I'm running out of titles to inspire myself from.

Two more boards, right here, right now.
Two patches yet again.
Only one this time.
Last two, I promise.
These patches to commit you want.
