coreboot

was this combination previously working with the 4.20 tag?

Sadly no, it's not working in the 4.20, the first try is from 8 months past and continues to can't boot, just work if SMMSTOREv2 driver is not enabled and just SMMSTOREv1 is used.

have you tried just disabling SMMSTORE on the edk2 side? You can do that by removing the param passed to edk2 via the extra build params Kconfig.

Sounds like this will need to be debugged on a board with serial output to see what's breaking in edk2

Oh thanks i will try to remove -DSMMSTORE from edk2 build and post the result here, the most problem are that i don't have a specific hardware debugger for UART debugging,
In my country this is so hard to find

Tested coreboot 17848b65c38c32fa9630925ca8a15203a0617788 with EDK2 92533b23fb93259b20661b6534109e9f59384e93 origin/uefipayload_202306 and SMMSTOREv2 works fine on Lenovo X220 (SandyBridge).
What's a STM/PE?

This Issue is about STM/PE a Supervisor/Hypervisor for SMM System Management Mode, if you can test too can be good too, please if are possible, just enable STM option in Menuconfig and enable STM/PE Hypervisor

The STM was never tested on production environments and might not work with other SMM "services" like SMMSTORE.
I would assume that you need to compile the SMMSTORE code into the stm.bin, however that's not the case right now.

In this instance, the STM is not active. The only thing coreboot does for the STM is setup some data structures and move the STM binary into the MSEG. The operating system has to start the STM. If coreboot is crashing when STM and SMMSTOREV2 are configured at the same time, this means that there is a collision in the TSEG layout. We need a coreboot trace to ferret this out.

See CB:78889 for a resolution for this issue.
