If the SPI controller is hidden from the OS (which is default on Apollo Lake) then OS has no chance to probe the device and therefore can not be aware of the resources this PCI device occupies. If the OS needs to move some resources for a reason it can happen that the new allocated window will be shadowed by the hidden PCI device resource and hence causing a conflict. As a result this MMIO window will be inaccessible from the OS which will cause issues in applications. For instance on Apollo Lake this causes flashrom to stop working. This patch adds a SSDT extension for the PCI device if it is hidden from the OS and reports the occupied resource via ACPI to the OS. For the cases where the device is hidden later at coreboot runtime and therefore is not marked as hidden in the PCI device itself a Kconfig switch called 'FAST_SPI_GENERATE_SSDT' is introduced. It defaults to 'no' and can be set from SOC code to override it. Since there is no defined ACPI ID for the fast SPI controller available now, the generic one (PNP0C02) is used. Test: Boot mc_apl4 and make sure flashrom works again.

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
