Stefan Reinauer 36c83404a3 Some changes required to get yabel working on v2 (and they generally make sense, too). Have one u64 instead of three. In order to use the old bios emulator, you have to do nothing. (Default, if CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN is enabled) In order to use yabel in your target, you need to add the following lines to your config: uses CONFIG_PCI_OPTION_ROM_RUN_YABEL default CONFIG_PCI_OPTION_ROM_RUN_YABEL=1 In order to use vm86 in your target, you need to add the following lines to your config: uses CONFIG_PCI_OPTION_ROM_RUN_VM86 default CONFIG_PCI_OPTION_ROM_RUN_VM86=1 Note: vm86 only works on platforms with _RAMBASE in the lower megabyte.

Coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary
BIOS you can find in most of today's computers.

It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes
one of many possible payloads, e.g. a Linux kernel.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by coreboot. Examples include:

 * A Linux kernel
 * FILO (a simple bootloader with filesystem support)
 * GRUB2 (a free bootloader; support is in development)
 * OpenBIOS (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation)
 * Open Firmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation)
 * SmartFirmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation)
 * GNUFI (a free, UEFI-compatible firmware)
 * Etherboot (for network booting and booting from raw IDE or FILO)
 * ADLO (for booting Windows 2000 or OpenBSD)
 * Plan 9 (a distributed operating system)
 * memtest86 (for testing your RAM)


Supported Hardware
------------------

Coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.
