The required power MSRs are mirrored in MCHBAR so it is possible to configure TDP at runtime via ASL. This adds the required fields and a set of methods to configure "TDP down" and "TDP nominal". It explicitly does not support "TDP up" at the moment. PSSS: method is added to assist in searching the _PSS table for the appropriate entry that corresponds to the desired max non-turbo ratio. STND: Set TDP Down from Nominal. This will limit CPU to the TDP down configuration by sequencing the required changes in the right order. STDN: Set TDP Nominal from Down. This will set the CPU back to nominal configuration by sequencing the required changes in the correct (reverse) order. This does not introduce any functional changes and must be paired with additional changes to be useful. The current configured TDP can be checked to see that the transition to/from a desired level is successful. > mmio_read8 0xfed15f50 0x00 # TDP-Nominal > mmio_read8 0xfed15f50 0x01 # TDP-Down Change-Id: I31a2f30cc9d134cc5eee980ae9288ae45e71c6e6 Signed-off-by: Duncan Laurie <dlaurie@chromium.org> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/1344 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Ronald G.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload. With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required. coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS. Payloads -------- After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot. See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads. Supported Hardware ------------------ coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards. For details please consult: * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices Build Requirements ------------------ * gcc / g++ * make Optional: * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation) * iasl (for targets with ACPI support) * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets) * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig') * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers) Building coreboot ----------------- Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details. Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware ------------------------------------------------ If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU. Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details. Website and Mailing List ------------------------ Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website: http://www.coreboot.org You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list: http://www.coreboot.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on coreboot is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
