This part I don't totally understand. I also barely know anything about PECI. Is the register location for things different between CPU generations? If so (and I expect it probably is), why is there only a configuration for Sapphire Rapids, and not for the other ones? Is that because of PECI protocol changes between generations? In which case, maybe there needs to be a notion of PECI version somewhere? Also, I don't understand why it would be adjustable at runtime, do we change register locations during execution? I would expect it to be part of the board definition. You could provide a bunch of sample configs for the CPU's that you're testing for, and the board configuration could just select the sample config it is using (corresponding to the CPU model). That's the model I would imagine, but I might be missing some important context here.

I haven't dug into the other machines because of internal demand, but I've found that with newer generations, more features get used in addition to existing ones. It's possible these features existed on older machines. > In which case, maybe there needs to be a notion of PECI version > somewhere? > > Also, I don't understand why it would be adjustable at runtime, do we > change register locations during execution? > > I would expect it to be part of the board definition. > > You could provide a bunch of sample configs for the CPU's that you're > testing for, and the board configuration could just select the sample > config it is using (corresponding to the CPU model). > > That's the model I would imagine, but I might be missing some important > context here. I think it would be nice to have additional registers at runtime, at the time of writing, I don't know how much of the internal workings of Sapphire Rapids Intel is willing to share publicly. If users are free to separately define registers, I don't then get to worry about this. e.g. I'd like to simulate errors from the memory controllers. Titus

Oh ok, yeah I guess making it more dynamic shouldn't really hurt anything. That sounds ok then. Also yeah, perhaps keeping the register definitions separate for privacy concerns is necessary.
