Recently published Intel CedarIslandFSP binary contains PE images in FSP-M and FSP-S. This causes coreboot boot hang on DeltaLake servers. PI spec PI_Spec_1_7_final_Jan_2019 on uefi.org talks about FV files requiring to support SECTION_PE32 sections and FSP specification states that FSP images are created in alignment with PI specification. FSP images are relocated at build time and run time using the func fsp_component_relocate. That code only supported TE image relocation so far. The change required to add support for pe_relocate in fsp-relocate.c I had to move a few functions to top of file as they need to be used by pe_relocate but were placed below the te_relocate function. I chose to place pe_relocate function next to te_relocate. The code supports PE32 format, not PE32+, at this time. Links for PE and FSP specs are provided below for reference.

This FSP version does not boot on DeltaLake without this change.

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 https://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:
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_TOOLCHAINKconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case). - iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
- pkg-config
- libssl-dev (openssl)
Optional:
- gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
- ncurses (for
make menuconfigandmake nconfig) - flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)
Building coreboot
Please consult https://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 https://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.
