Strange Coreboot behaviors while building IVB Cougar Canyon Coreboot based upon intel.com/fsp IVB FSP

[Stojsavljevic, Zoran]

Hello,

After long time, I am returning to this domain, in attempt to build valid Coreboot using git clone from Coreboot.org .

I have two instances I cloned, one is v4.0-4966, another one is latest (cloned today) v4.0-5223 ...

Here is what I have while building v4.0-4966 (.config attached to the email as CONFIG_4966):

coreboot.rom: 8192 kB, bootblocksize 864, romsize 8388608, offset 0x400000
alignment: 64 bytes

Name                           Offset     Type         Size
cmos_layout.bin                0x400000   cmos_layout  1164
pci8086,0166.rom               0x4004c0   optionrom    65536
cpu_microcode_blob.bin         0x410500   microcode    32832 <<===== YES, microcode integrated
fallback/romstage              0x4185c0   stage        31082
fallback/coreboot_ram          0x41ff80   stage        75924
fallback/payload               0x432880   payload      55177
config                         0x440080   raw          4322
(empty)                        0x4411c0   null         3403224
fsp.bin                        0x77ffc0   (unknown)    393216
(empty)                        0x7e0000   null         130072

Needless to say, for some reason reset vector does not start (I see no serial outputs from FSP even)!

Here is what I have while building v4.0-5223 (.config attached to the email as CONFIG_5223):

coreboot.rom: 8192 kB, bootblocksize 992, romsize 8388608, offset 0x400000
alignment: 64 bytes

Name                           Offset     Type         Size

pci8086,0166.rom               0x4004c0   optionrom    65536
fallback/romstage              0x410500   stage        31583
fallback/coreboot_ram          0x4180c0   stage        75182
fallback/payload               0x42a6c0   payload      55156
config                         0x437e80   raw          4419
(empty)                        0x439000   null         3370904
cpu_microcode_blob.bin         0x76ffc0   microcode    0 <<===== NO microcode!!!
(empty)                        0x770000   null         65432
fsp.bin                        0x77ffc0   (unknown)    393216
(empty)                        0x7e0000   null         129944

The same: reset vector does not go!

Strange. Any clues?

Thank you,
