Opteron Rev D0 support done.
So I need to wait for AMD put the updated Bios porting guide including Opteron Rev D0 info. Only after that, I can commit the patch? Or ask the AMD to review the code?
Regards
YH

Eric,
Are you working on Opteron D0 support? There are some memory
initialization
changes to support D0...
It is on the near term TODO list, as are way to many other things. I need to make certain I have some so I can test with them. My impression the biggest change was the E0 stepping processors.
In any event until the information goes into the public datasheet I can't publish anything.

Essentially.
It all depends on your relationship. But as a general rule if you have knowledge under an NDA that is not public knowledge it is impolite to publish it with out the vendors approval.
This is courtesy, and in the case of AMD not a large imposition, as we know the information will be publicly available in time. Having the work done sooner and published would not hurt my feelings though.

The D0 is released last week. And Normal BIOS support it already.
Thanks for your great job in raminit.c of K8 and others, and I add several lines to reflect the new mapping of memory bank.
