I have access to an E350M1. I will test these patches tonight and report
back with results.

Thank you!

                                Hi,
                                 

                                Upon booting, I get this:

                                [...]
                                 
                                you could try commit 0df0e14fb, that may
or may not work, the

commit

        after

                                that broke fusion boards completely,
apparently.
                                 
                                Florian
                                 

                        Thank you! I can confirm that 0df0e14fb works
properly.

                Frank,
                 
                It looks like we have a regression. Is there some
dependency on the
                other patches that have not yet been committed?
                 
                Marc

        Unfortunately git bisect is no help here because the commit
which

caused

        the regression was a huge one.
         
        It's important that large patches are broken down into a set of
small
        comprehensible patches, each with an explanatory commit message.
         
        <<quote from git-bisect-lk2009.html documentation>>
        ...
        sometimes "interesting" changes of behavior in the software are
        introduced in some commits.
         
        In fact people are specially interested in commits that
introduce a
        "bad" behavior, called a bug or a regression. They are
interested in
        these commits because a commit (hopefully) contains a very small
set
        of source code changes. And it's much easier to understand and
        properly fix a problem when you only need to check a very small
set of
        changes, than when you don't know where look in the first place.
         
        So to help people find commits that introduce a "bad" behavior,
the
        "git bisect" set of commands was invented.

Hello, All
 
Since commit 84cbce2 cause E350M1 not POST,
Following patches should resolve this regression problem, please see the
attachment in detail.
I have test it on a Persimmon mainboard, 
anybody can have a test on E350M1?
Thanks

Hello Kerry:

I have tested your patch set, and it does make the E350M1 boot.
The bad news is there is now a delay of approximately 5 minutes and 20
seconds before any serial output is displayed.

The coreboot log is available at
http://www.lucidmachines.com/coreboot/kerrypatches20110907.txt

Please let me know if I can assist further.

Thanks a lot,

I have a test based on commit 8679e52 with both F14 C0 and B0 processor
on different persimmon mainboard,

But unfortunately I can't reproduce the problem you have met.

Family14 Revision C0 processor(BSP Family_Model:00500f20)

Family14 Revision B0 processor(BSP Family_Model: 00500f10) is same as
the one you use.

 

There is not much difference between E350M1 and persimmon code,

so I'm not sure whether the root cause is commit 84cbce2 or other
commit, such as sb800 update etc. 

Can you have a test base on commit 84cbce2 ?

Many Thanks 

Kerry Sheh



Thank you!
