<h1><a name="Bootblock">Bootblock</a></h1>
<p>
Implement the bootblock using the following steps:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Create the directory as src/soc/&lt;Vendor&gt;/&lt;Chip Family&gt;/bootblock</li>
<li>Add the timestamp.inc file which initializes the floating point registers and saves
the initial timestamp.
</li>
<li>Add the bootblock.c file which:
<ol type="A">
<li>Enables memory-mapped PCI config access</li>
<li>Updates the microcode by calling intel_update_microcode_from_cbfs</li>
<li>Enable ROM caching</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Edit the src/soc/&lt;Vendor&gt;/&lt;Chip Family&gt;/Kconfig file
<ol type="A">
<li>Add the BOOTBLOCK_CPU_INIT value to point to the bootblock.c file</li>
<li>Add the CHIPSET_BOOTBLOCK_INCLUDE value to point to the timestamp.inc file</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Edit the src/soc/&lt;Vendor&gt;/&lt;Chip Family&gt;/Makefile.inc file
<ol type="A">
<li>Add the bootblock subdirectory</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Edit the src/soc/&lt;Vendor&gt;/&lt;Chip Family&gt;/memmap.c file
<ol type="A">
<li>Add the fsp/memmap.h include file</li>
<li>Add the mmap_region_granularity routine</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Add the necessary .h files to define the necessary values and structures</li>
<li>When successful port 0x80 will output the following values:
<ol type="A">
<li>0x01: <a target="_blank" href="http://review.coreboot.org/gitweb?p=coreboot.git;a=blob;f=src/include/console/post_codes.h;hb=HEAD#l45">POST_RESET_VECTOR_CORRECT</a>

and entered the 16-bit code at

</li>
<li>0x10 - Verstage/romstage reached 32-bit mode</li>
