From 60ef456f46d81faa4f15b8a49b39037037b8b643 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Menzel Date: Sat, 8 Mar 2014 10:46:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] console/Kconfig: Enable CBMEM console by default MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Currently on AMD boards no romstage messages can be saved in CBMEM, so only messages from ramstage on will be stored in CBMEM. Other than that nothing changes. Enabling CBMEM console by default does not noticeably decrease boot time as the messages are directly written to CAR or RAM. The board status script under `util/board_status/` reads the coreboot messages from CBMEM, which are then uploaded to the board status repository. With CBMEM console disabled by default, currently no coreboot console messages are uploaded to the board status repository, although it is important to have those. Enabling CBMEM console by default improves this situation, so that for all boards at least ramstage messages are stored in the board status repository.
