Hi David, After trying to use SeaBIOS as payload, I got more information about reboot issue as attached file. While U-Boot just reboots directly and Grub hangs, the SeaBIOS’s dump complains “No bootable device” at the end. Do you think is it the cause of reboot? Can I say my U-Boot and Grub ver

Hi Merle, you should always keep the mailing list addressed. Otherwise you'll get less responses, obviously. Please tell us more about your project. Is it a hobby thing? or do you work on a professional product? it really matters, because in the latter case you should try to get a contact to Int

We use a PLX chip in our design and I will say they are incredibly sensitive to reset. Are you sure your voltages are holding up during startup? The fact that it works with a limited number of GPU’s would be indicative of voltage sag due to the higher inrush current. A slow rise time on the rese

Hi Hilbert, For what it's worth, I was able to boot Linux as the payload without any obvious problems. It might be good to try other payloads, or see if you can enable serial console earlier in u-boot to find exactly where it reboots. Here is my CPUID and microcode info printed by coreboot during

Hi What target are you on? Coreboot tries to locate all PCI BAR's below 4G in the PCI_MMIO region and above the lower DRAM limit (the rest of the DRAM is mapped above 4G). Typically a GPU takes around 256M but I guess that could be more nowadays. If that doesn't fit in the PCI MMIO region, it wi

Hi Zoran, About this issue, I decide to follow David's suggestion to comment out the SMBus clock gating and then it can continue booting until load my U-Boot payload. But then it enters infinite reboot as previous attached log "smbus_init_fail_max_dump2.txt". I am not sure if is a side effect o

YES, U R correct. BDX-DE supoosed to be SoC, as I now recall. It was once upon a time/a long time back, about 2.5 to 3 years ago I played with this stuff. You supposed NOT to use anything beneath 0x50663 (forget 0x50661/2). I have no idea why you are using PPR 0x50663, the production part (PR) is
