As Mike mentioned earlier, you need the TXE ( located in top 6MB ) from BYT-I_SEC_DUAL_BOOT_PV_GOLD. The TXE from the BIOS’s you mentioned don’t work with coreboot. I ran into the same issue as you. Alternatively you can erase the top 6MB to start in non-descriptor mode. I don’t think this matte

Dave, I was ready to boot your suggestion and the hardware guys said: "We know there's no clock", then soon after had it booting normally. Good call.  This was indeed a debugging session, not a coreboot issue. A bit of history.  Our design

realistically, though, it's hard for me to see how setting the serial # at firmware image build time scales. And setting it after boot makes no real sense either -- it's not really a serial number if you're changing it at that point. But some way to customize the binary images with a serial number

If we figure out why we see the device id of 0x for the SOC transaction router, I'd really like to understand that. I had initially thought it was a B0 vs B3 issue, but I've heard from people that it happens on the B3 silicon as well. Currently if the device id comes up as 0, the northclus
