> AMD has ported early AGESA features to the PSP, which now discovers, enables and trains DRAM. Unlike any other x86 device in coreboot, a Picasso system has DRAM online prior to the first instruction fetch.
Perhaps they saw badly trained RAM as a security flaw? Or maybe doing it with the coprocessor helped them distribute the training code more easily (I heard a rumour once that RAM training algos are heavily patented? Might have imagined it).
