From d1cd045982b1e1e4db2c1cc2b2b932f739b78a11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Glass Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2014 22:42:09 -0700 Subject: x86: Emit post codes in startup code for Chromebooks On x86 it is common to use 'post codes' which are 8-bit hex values emitted from the code and visible to the user. Traditionally two 7-segment displays were made available on the motherboard to show the last post code that was emitted. This allows diagnosis of a boot problem since it is possible to see where the code got to before it died. On modern hardware these codes are not normally visible. On Chromebooks they are displayed by the Embedded Controller (EC), so it is useful to emit them. We must enable this feature for the EC to see the codes, so add an option for this.
