Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data for memory modules is used by Memory
Reference Code (MRC) for training the memory. This SPD data is
typically obtained from part vendors but has to be massaged to format
it correctly as per JEDEC and MRC expectations. There have been
numerous times in the past where the SPD data used is not always
correct.
In order to reduce the manual effort of creating SPDs and generating
DRAM IDs, this change adds tools for generating SPD files for LPDDR4x
memory used in memory down configurations on Intel Tiger Lake (TGL)
and Jasper Lake (JSL) based platforms. These tools generate SPDs
following JESD209-4C specification and Intel recommendations (doc
Two tools are provided:
* gen_spd.go: Generates de-duplicated SPD files using a global memory
part list provided by the mainboard in JSON format. Additionally,
generates a SPD manifest file (in CSV format) with information about
what memory part from the global list uses which of the generated
SPD files.
* gen_part_id.go: Allocates DRAM strap IDs for different LPDDR4x
memory parts used by the board. Takes as input list of memory parts
used by the board (with one memory part on each line) and the SPD
manifest file generated by gen_spd.go. Generates Makefile.inc for
integrating the generated SPD files in the coreboot build.
