Sorry Star and Liming,

For the below patch (removing the alignment check for WorkSpace & SpareArea):

Do you think it will impact the FTW service on flash device? Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Hao Wu

The bug discovered was with coreboot, and the PCD values are derived from the block size of its SMMStore (NvStorage) region. The discussion on the patch can be found here: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/62990

Hacking the PCDs could work,, but why would we want to keep an incorrect check?

Thanks!

Sorry for not being clear on what I mean.

Is it possible to change the platform PCD values and keep these block size alignment requirements.

Hi Hao

Yes, it does conflict - I will update the patch to fix these comments :)

Thank you
