[edk2] Minnowboard Max compiled firmware boot issue

[Ulysses Mckibbens]

Hi,

I followed the build instructions for a 0.79 debug build using the make
scripts in following sections 2 and 3 of this document:
http://firmware.intel.com/sites/default/files/MinnowBoard_MAX-Rel_0.79-ReleaseNotes.txt

It creates a 3MB image in the Vlv2TblDevicePkg\Stitch subdirectory. The
flash utility requires an 8MB image and won't even flash it. I flashed this
bin file to the MinnowMax using a DediProg (erasing first). When powering
the device off and back on, I get no serial debug output from the GPIO pins
or console output. I flash the stock Intel 0.79 image back and it boots up
just fine.

Also tried padding the 3MB image with 0x00 and 0xFF bytes and that doesn't
work either.

My question is --- is there a build script that needs to be modified to
make the image bootable with this minnowmax source tree?

Thanks!
Jim

Please check if there is any error message printed during the build. If build success, there should be a 8MB image created under "C:\MyWorkspace\Vlv2TbltDevicePkg\Stitch\".

David,

I attached the build log in this message. You can see I only get a 3MB
image and I see now errors. Ran command:
Vlv2TbltDevicePkg\Build_IFWI.bat MNW2 Debug


Stitched rom file:
06/26/2015 01:57 PM 3,145,728 MNW2MAX_X64_D_0080_01.ROM

Stitch folder:
06/26/2015 01:57 PM 3,149,824 MNW2MAX1.X64.0080.D01.1506261356.bin

Vlv2TbltDevicePkg\Build_IFWI.bat MNW2 Debug

Does the problem still exist if you add /X64 ?

e.g. Vlv2TbltDevicePkg\Build_IFWI.bat /X64 MNW2 Debug
