See attached.
There are a number of outstanding issues:
* we don't have the mc_patch_01000086.h CPU ucode file yet which is referenced in a comment in src/mainboard/supermicro/h8dmr_fam10/Options.lb. AMD has not released it yet. This is not a problem specific to this port.
* I'm seeing toolchain issues. I can't get this tree to compile correctly with gcc 4.3 (32 bit) - there is an optimization issue where certain parts of the CBFS code execute very slowly. With gcc 3.4 (32 bit) that slowness disappears. This is probably not a problem related to this port specifically.
* setting CONFIG_DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL lower than 8 simply hangs the boot shortly after the warm reset triggered by the MCP55 code. I think this too might be a toolchain problem (but I see it on gcc 3.4 as well as 4.3).
* during startup, the CPU cores talk through each other on serial for a while. Again, not an issue specific to this port.
* to avoid very slow LZMA decompression I use this port with LZMA compression disabled in CBFS. I'm not sure what's causing this particular slowness.
Thanks, Ward.
Hi,
Maybe your code sometimes is in the cachable range and sometimes not .
