Yes. The idea is to share the log buffer between U-Boot and Linux (hence it's allocation at the very end of the RAM). Of course you need support for this feature in Linux, too. IIRC this has not yet made it's way into mainline. > - If I was wrong for the first question (the results actually are saved), > where > can I find some information about how to retrieve these results ? The plan is to share the log buffer, in both directions: Linux can read the POST results, and U-Boot can read the last Linux messages after a crash / reboot. Actually, after a reboot you can read the last messages from the _previously_ running kernel in Linux, too (assuming there are no wraparounds, of course).
