@Willy Tarreau It would be nice if there was an official build with more verbose logging enabled (DEBUG_INFO at least).

@Rebecca Cran Thank you Rebecca. I may give it a try next week. For now I've left the legacy version on the module with MMC 2.09 that checks JP27, and EDK2 2.09 on the carrier board. It boot super ...
@Willy Tarreau If you go down the page far enough, there's a release from July 2022, v2.06.100.00: "Update CRB code to V2.06.100-ampere."
Where did you find 2.06 ? I'm only seeing 2.04 on github and 2.09 on the download page.
@Willy Tarreau Hi I forget to tell you that after trying many times of different version of EDK2, I figured out that geerlingguy may be using the version of 2.06. Currently I'm using the 2.06 edk n...
So as indicated in the 2.3 GHz thread, finally after another reboot the machine is again at 2.3 GHz instead of 2.6 once reverted to EDK2 2.04.100.11. So there's clearly a difference between 2.04 an...
Well, after reverting to EDK2 2.04.100.11, finally the system is back to 2.3 GHz... Grrrr... I think I will flash 2.09 on the carrier board so that I can boot on it using JP27.
FWIW the repository is back online with updates, and the new image in the download area managed to boot and restore my machine.
Just for info, the firmware based on MMC 2.09 + EDK2 2.04.100.11 that is available in the download area now properly respects JP27 and allows to boot from the onboard flash. I reprogrammed mine and...
Just to inform other users that after the last update in the download area with MMC 2.09 and EDK2 2.04.100.11, I managed to flash the SPI NOR on the carrier board using an external programmer, and ...
@Ruler of COM great news, I could flash the on-board SPI using my buspirate board + flashrom and moving JP27 to 2-3. Now the board boots again (and boot quite faster than it previously did). The m...
@Ruler of COM thank you! I'll try it this morning and let you know how it goes. Many thanks!
Newest set of firmware here : https://www.ipi.wiki/pages/ampere-altra-developer-platform-download Note that AADP and AADK share same firmware AADP is AADK with a chassis around it. EDK2 2.04.100.1...
Thank you!
@Willy Tarreau If you use the 32MB image, you can just overwrite the whole chip, no worries.
Hi @Jiaheng Wang , Thanks for sharing your experience, that's extremely useful given the instabilities of the current firmware, it allows users to try the one that works best for them without risk...
@Rebecca Cran yeah, when I said "not opened it yet", I meant the EEPROM socket :-)
@Willy Tarreau Very helpfully, the EEPROMs on the carrier board are all socketed so you can either use an adapter to flash them in-place, or remove them and flash them outside the case.
@Rebecca Cran thanks for the info. We'll see, for now I don't have any DB40-to-FPC adapter. I understood that the upcoming 2.09 MMC code will support JP27-29 to allow to load EDK2 from the carrier ...
@Willy Tarreau @Jiaheng Wang was able to create an adapter to connect from a SPI programmer to the DB40 connector on the module, which might be useful?
