[PATCH 5/5] ARM: novena: Use DDR3 information from SPD EEPROM

John Watts contact at jookia.org
Sun Jan 22 15:20:48 PST 2023


Just a note to myself: After doing some more testing on this code I've found it
doesn't work exactly right:

- It calculates cs_density and density wrong
- I'm still not entirely sure if ddr_spd needs to be changed to aid calibration

Speaking of calibration: I spent a while trying to figure this out but the
Barebox version of mmdc_do_write_level_calibration does not handle calibration
errors. I'll have a patch on the way to fix both of these soon.

With those bugs fixed I can confirm just switching in a 2GB stick works and
Barebox's memtest runs successfully.
