Hi Kyösti,

Building coreboot with HUDSON_LEGACY_FREE disabled fixed it! Thank you for your help and fast reply!

Best,

Dear Coreboot Community,I also have a serial port adapter (to USB) so that I can see the output of the coreboot process. Using this setup I am able to start up the machine with coreboot and get to the coreinfo screen (which I can then interact with).

I am confused, however, by the output I am seeing from the boot process (attached). Specifically, it appears that the AmdInitReset procedure never exits, as shown below.

Hi

I think this is just a case that the routing of serial port IO address range to LPC bus and further down to the UART is blocked as part of AmdInitReset. And we recover it as part of device resource assignment late in ramstage.

Try build with HUDSON_LEGACY_FREE=n, should be visible "System is legacy free" choice in menuconfig. The help text there does not really match what it does and default setting seems incorrect for all the cases where board has super-io and serial port.
