The SPI driver is quite slow at reading data. For example, with a 24MHz clock on gru it achieves a read speed of only 13.9Mbps. We can correct this by reading the status registers once, then reading as many bytes as are available before checking the status registers again. It seems likely that a status register read requires synchronizing with the SPI FIFO clock domain, which takes a while. BUG=chrome-os-partner:56556 BRANCH=none TEST=run on gru and see the speed increase from 13.920 Mbps to 24.712 Mbps Change-Id: I24aed0c9c6c5445634c4e056922afaee4e9a7b33 Signed-off-by: Martin Roth <martinroth@chromium.org> Original-Commit-Id: 49c2fc20d7d7d703763e9b0a6f68313a349a84b9 Original-Change-Id: I42745f01f0fe069f6ae26d866004d36bb257e6b2 Original-Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Original-Reviewed-on: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/376945 Original-Reviewed-by: Julius Werner <jwerner@chromium.org> Reviewed-on: https://review.coreboot.org/16582 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Patrick Georgi <pgeorgi@google.com> |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload. With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required. coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS. Payloads -------- After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot. See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads. Supported Hardware ------------------ coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards. For details please consult: * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices Build Requirements ------------------ * make * gcc / g++ Because Linux distribution compilers tend to use lots of patches. coreboot does lots of "unusual" things in its build system, some of which break due to those patches, sometimes by gcc aborting, sometimes - and that's worse - by generating broken object code. Two options: use our toolchain (eg. make crosstools-i386) or enable the ANY_TOOLCHAIN Kconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case). * iasl (for targets with ACPI support) Optional: * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation) * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets) * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig' and 'make nconfig') * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers) Building coreboot ----------------- Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details. Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware ------------------------------------------------ If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU. Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details. Website and Mailing List ------------------------ Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website: http://www.coreboot.org You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list: http://www.coreboot.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on coreboot is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
