soc/amd/picasso selected FSP_USES_CB_STACK even though it is FSP 2.0 based, so it doesn't reuse coreboot's stack, but sets up its own stack. In contrast to all other FSP 2.0 based platforms, this stack isn't in the CAR region, since AMD Picasso doesn't support CAR and the DRAM is already available when the x86 cores are released from reset. Selecting FSP_USES_CB_STACK ended up doing the right thing, but is semantically wrong. Instead of wrongly selecting FSP_USES_CB_STACK in soc/amd/picasso we take the corresponding code path if ENV_CACHE_AS_RAM is false which is only the case for non-CAR platforms. BUG=b:155501050 TEST=Timeless build results in an identical binary for amd/mandolin, asrock/h110m-dvs and intel/coffeelake_rvp11 which cover all 3 cases here.

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:
- doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
- 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.
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:
