Disabling MemoryDown

JONG_L_ — Wed, 04 Nov 2015 23:13:03 GMT

Hi,

I have a custome board, which is similar to MinnowBoard MAX.

In order to build firmware for my board I downloaded/installed Intel Firmware Engine 1.1, and built firmware without MemoryDown option since my board uses SODIMM module.

If MemoryDown is disabled, does firmware read the SPD from SODIMM module and then set memory parameters accordingly? or am I still responsible to set all other memory parameters(such as Ranks, tCL, etc)?

You should be able to just

You should be able to just change the "Enable Memory Down" option in the MemoryInit module from "1" to "0". This will ignore any manual memory settings and use the SPD values (assuming SMBUS is routed properly to the DIMM slots). Please try this and let me know if it works.

Thank you, Brian.
