Necromancing this thread...
Sage has a patch to *optionally* use a serial console log in board_status.sh: http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/6094/
Earlier objections to such an approach seemed to stem from either:
- Desire to use cbmem console instead. A fine idea, but on some platforms
(especially those which use AGESA) a lot of information gets spit out to the console before cbmem is available. Re-factoring to make cbmem init happen earlier is unfeasible AFAICT.
- Avoid confusing cbmem console log and other logs. This can be easily
solved by using a different filename. I personally think it's best to only upload one log (whichever is most useful) and avoid polluting the web UI with redundant files. But I could live with multiple console logs if others feel strongly.
Seeing as how only a small handful of people currently actually use this utility anyway, I'm inclined to think it's best to make the utility more useful for a major coreboot contributor get some more status reports uploaded.
Yes, please, let's just get this done. I think Sage's arguments make lots of sense.
