Where do I find/build cbmem binary?
Please find attached dmesg.

Can you provide the full firmware log and dmesg? 'cbmem -l' should give you the firmware log.

Scratch that, found and compiled it in coreboot/util/cbmem. Doesn't output very much though, assume I need to compile debugging and console in.

It's under the 'util' directory in the coreboot repository:

Adding up the reported usable memory should jive with your expectations. As for needing console, yes, you will need to compile with console.

Hi
I have same issue. Only about 2Gib of 4GiB installed shows. I had not noticed this until You pointed this out. Looks like a problem with the last entry coreboot creates in e820 memory map.
This is from your dmesg, I see same with (close to) current master.
[ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x00000001005fffff] usable
The coreboot image my Samsung 550 originally shipped with had this:
[ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: 0000000100000000 - 000000014fe00000 (usable)

Kyösti,
I'm not certain it's just the last entry of the e820. mrc is just seeing 2GiB of ram and setting it up that way.

Hi
Here is my cbmem -c output. And I can actually only see one DIMM with 2 GiB detected here, so you can probably forget about what I wrote about e820..
Kyösti
If one pulls the dimm out of the slot does the machine boot? I'm curious if reading the dimm spd is working or using the on-board spd memory is working. Based on what I am seeing I would expect the board not to boot.
Let me know what you guys find.
