Tim Wawrzynczak 38d38479fa soc/intel/icelake: Clear RTC_BATTERY_DEAD 
Normally for vboot-enabled x86 board, the VBNV region is stored in CMOS
and backed up to flash (RW_NVRAM). However, on the very first boot after
a flash of the full SPI image (so RW_NVRAM is empty), if
RTC_BATTERY_DEAD is set, coreboot persistently requests recovery before
FSP-M finishes (which appears to be the current location that
RTC_BATTERY_DEAD is cleared on this platform). This is because
vbnv_cmos_failed() will still return 1. Therefore, immediately after
reading RTC_BATTERY_DEAD, it is cleared. This prevents an infinite boot
loop when trying to set the recovery mode bit.

Note that this was the behavior for previous generations of Intel PMC
programming as well (see southbridge/intel, soc/skylake, soc/broadwell,
etc).

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_TOOLCHAIN Kconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case).
  • iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
  • pkg-config
  • libssl-dev (openssl)

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 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.

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:
