2016-01-07 20:24:24 +01:00
< p >
The x86 development process for coreboot is broken into the following components:
< / p >
< ul >
2016-02-03 16:28:22 +01:00
< li > coreboot < a target = "_blank" href = "SoC/soc.html" > SoC< / a > development< / li >
< li > coreboot < a target = "_blank" href = "Board/board.html" > mainboard< / a > development< / li >
2016-01-07 20:24:24 +01:00
< li > < a target = "_blank" href = "fsp1_1.html" > FSP 1.1< / a > integration< / li >
< / ul >
< p >
The development process has two main phases:
< / p >
< ol >
< li > Minimal coreboot; This phase is single threaded< / li >
< li > Adding coreboot features< / li >
< / ol >

< h2 > Minimal coreboot< / h2 >
2016-01-07 20:24:24 +01:00
< p >
The combined steps below describe how to bring up a minimal coreboot for a
system-on-a-chip (SoC) and a development board:
< / p >
< table >
< tr bgcolor = "#ffffc0" >
< td > The initial coreboot steps are single threaded!
The initial minimal FSP development is also single threaded.
Progress can speed up by adding more developers after the minimal coreboot/FSP
implementation reaches the payload.
< / td >
< / tr >
< / table >
< ol >
< li > Get the necessary tools:
< ul >
< li > Linux: Use your package manager to install m4 bison flex and the libcurses development
package.
< ul >
< li > Ubuntu or other Linux distribution that use apt, run:
< pre > < code > sudo apt-get install m4 bison flex libncurses5-dev
< / code > < / pre >
< / li >
< / ul >
< / li >
< / ul >
< / li >
< li > Build the cross tools for i386:
< ul >
< li > Linux:
< pre > < code > make crossgcc-i386< / code > < / pre >
To use multiple processors for the toolchain build (which takes a long time), use:
< pre > < code > make crossgcc-i386 CPUS=N< / code > < / pre >
where N is the number of cores to use for the build.
< / li >
