[coreboot] Strange Coreboot behaviors while building IVB Cougar Canyon Coreboot based upon intel.com/fsp IVB FSP

[Stojsavljevic, Zoran]

Hello Patrick,

I exactly did what you have suggested in this patch: http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/4646/

Removed the compile condition (using Coreboot v4.0-5223, SeaBIOS 1.7.4.9 snapshots). I introduced all microcodes from www.intel.com/fsp -> IVB package in:
src/cpu/intel/fsp_model_206ax/

Then I have changed microcode_blob.h to the one, shown in the log, presented at the end of this email.

All Cool, I have working FSP + Coreboot v4.0-5223 + SeaBIOS 1.7.4.9, which says that your patch is verified! Way To Go!

Thank you,
Zoran

Please try http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/4646/
I can't completely verify it without downloading FSP, but it improves things in my tests.
