Yes, that worked. Thank you so much! Seems obvious in restrspect. :-) Mark Mason Engineering Design Team Mark C.

I remember finding it a few years ago and it wasn't easy. The good news is that you shouldn't have to modify the agesa code. The solution might be to change the buildOpts.c line: NUMBER_OF_DIMMS_SUPPORTED (ANY_SOCKET, ANY_CHANNEL, 2) from 2 to 1. Once you do this, update spdAddrLookup in devicetree.cb to match.

[coreboot] imb-a180 won't boot from single DIMM 0
Is there a straightforward way to get an IMB-A180 to boot with a single DIMM in slot 0? It boots fine in slot 1. I've looked through the code at length, and thought it configures the dimm, it fails in coreboot/src/vendorcode/amd/agesa/Proc/Mem/Main/KB/mmflowKB.c // // If there is no dimm on the system, do fatal exit // if (NBPtr[BSP_DIE].RefPtr-SysLimit == 0) { PutEventLog (AGESA_FATAL, MEM_ERROR_NO_DIMM_FOUND_ON_SYSTEM, 0, 0, 0, 0, (MemMainPtr-MemPtr-StdHeader)); return AGESA_FATAL; } Even though it has detected and configured the dimm in slot 0. Again, this does work with slot 1. Many thanks, Mark Mason Engineering Design Team -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot

This is a BKDG requirement. Agesa excludes the out of place DIMM. If it is the only DIMM in the system, then the error logic will report no DIMM installed. This might be what you are seeing. There may be an agesa warning for this that isn't getting reported. The DIMM population order rules are related to signal integrity and are explained in the BKDG.
