Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] Documentation/arch/x86/amd-debugging: Add example for reset register
Date: Sat,  9 May 2026 03:31:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260509013105.816339-5-daniel@gibson.sh> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260509013105.816339-1-daniel@gibson.sh>

To me it wasn't clear how I get the information stored in the reset
register, or how to identify the messages in the syslog mentioned there.

Mario Limonciello sent me an example line which illustrates what to
look for and I added it to the AMD debugging documentation, with a short
explanation.

 to determine the next component to debug.
