Tiny Core 11.0 Alpha 1 Testing

[PDP-8]

CCP Crypto

Seen briefly at start of boot:

Code: [Select]

ccp_crypto: Cannot load: there are no available CCPs
Not sure if that affects me or not.

AMD Cryptographic Coprocessor (CCP) crypto API support. Message comes from ccp-crypto-main.c. I have the error too. Doesn't seem to be a deal breaker, and my CPU is "only" six years old.

Yep seems benign for my hardware.

I thought something like this would show up in /var/log/messages, but I have no messages file there.

I'll research to see if I can force the messages logfile..

Hi PDP-8

... I thought something like this would show up in /var/log/messages, but I have no messages file there. ...

Check:

Code: [Select]

dmesg | less -IPage Up/Down to navigate. Use  /  to enter a search term.

... I'll research to see if I can force the messages logfile.. ...

Add the  syslog  boot code to get a  messages  file.

Noting that ccp message as a potential patch target, we have a couple similar cosmetic patches already downgrading errors to warnings that we believe were misclassified. Not important enough for this release though.

Roger on that - they were merely cosmetic for me.

I forgot - I'm happy to report that you can also BOOT from mmc / SD-Card devices too.  I haven't tried blowing out my onboard eMMC's, but sd-card boot works just fine for those devices that don't lock out that ability.  Made my early win 8.1 computesticks, and the little hockey-puck sized mini pc very happy.  All running / set for uefi-only btw.  The way I use TC that is not a problem using sd-card for operations.  So again, thanks as that opens up usb ports for other things.
