The Yosemite-V3 system is in mass production. Meta, Intel and partners
jointly develop Open System Firmware (OSF) solution on Delta Lake as an alternative
solution. The OSF solution is based on FSP/coreboot/LinuxBoot stack. The
OSF solution reached production quality for some use cases in July, 2021.

Linux kernel and u-root code from their upstream repo, and sync down needed
binary blobs. [osf-builder] also provides the top level build system.
Delta Lake server OSF solution requires following binary blobs:
- FSP blob: The blob (Intel Cooper Lake Scalable Processor Firmware Support Package)
can be downloaded from https://github.com/intel/FSP/tree/master/CedarIslandFspBinPkg.
- Microcode: Available through github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files.
coreboot.org mirrors this repo and by default the correct binary is included.

## Flashing coreboot
The Delta Lake OSF solution is updated periodically to newer versions of
upstream coreboot code base and other components.

To do in-band FW image update, use [flashrom]:
flashrom -p internal:ich_spi_mode=hwseq -c "Opaque flash chip" --ifd \

## How to work on coreboot for Delta Lake
After the OSF image for Delta Lake is built and verified, under
OpenSystemFirmware/Wiwynn/deltalake directory:
cd src/osf-builder/projects/craterlake/coreboot
Run "git remote -v" to confirm the origin is from coreboot upstream repo.
Run "git branch -v" to know the confirmed working coreboot commit ID for the
Delta Lake OSF solution.
Fetch down the tip of coreboot upstream repo, run "make" to build a new OSF
image for Delta Lake, verify that it works.
Now you are in a familiar coreboot environment, happy coding!
## Firmware configurations
[ChromeOS VPD] is used to store most of the firmware configurations.
RO_VPD region holds default values, while RW_VPD region holds customized
