Currently the decision of whether or not to use mrc_cache in recovery
mode is made within the individual platforms' drivers (ie: fsp2.0,
fsp1.1, etc.). As this is not platform specific, but uses common
vboot infrastructure, the code can be unified and moved into
mrc_cache. The conditions are as follows:
1. If HAS_RECOVERY_MRC_CACHE, use mrc_cache data (unless retrain
switch is true)
2. If !HAS_RECOVERY_MRC_CACHE && VBOOT_STARTS_IN_BOOTBLOCK, this
means that memory training will occur after verified boot,
meaning that mrc_cache will be filled with data from executing
RW code. So in this case, we never want to use the training
data in the mrc_cache for recovery mode.
3. If !HAS_RECOVERY_MRC_CACHE && VBOOT_STARTS_IN_ROMSTAGE, this
means that memory training happens before verfied boot, meaning
that the mrc_cache data is generated by RO code, so it is safe
to use for a recovery boot.
4. Any platform that does not use vboot should be unaffected.
Additionally, we have removed the
MRC_CLEAR_NORMAL_CACHE_ON_RECOVERY_RETRAIN config because the
mrc_cache driver takes care of invalidating the mrc_cache data for
normal mode. If the platform:
1. !HAS_RECOVERY_MRC_CACHE, always invalidate mrc_cache data
2. HAS_RECOVERY_MRC_CACHE, only invalidate if retrain switch is set
BUG=b:150502246
BRANCH=None
TEST=1. run dut-control power_state:rec_force_mrc twice on lazor
ensure that memory retraining happens both times
run dut-control power_state:rec twice on lazor
ensure that memory retraining happens only first time
2. remove HAS_RECOVERY_MRC_CACHE from lazor Kconfig
boot twice to ensure caching of memory training occurred
on each boot.

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.
