In order to support booting a GNU/Linux payload on non x86, the FIT format should be used, as it is the defacto standard on ARM. Due to greater complexity of FIT it is not converted to simple ELF format. Add support for autodecting FIT payloads and add them as new CBFS_TYPE 'fit'. The payload is included as is, with no special header. The code can determine the type at runtime using the CBFS_TYPE field. Support for parsing FIT payloads in coreboot is added in a follow on commit. Compression of FIT payloads is not supported, as the FIT sections might be compressed itself. Starting at this point a CBFS payload/ can be either of type FIT or SELF. Tested on Cavium SoC.

README
This is a silly little program that demonstrates how cool libpayload is and also serves a purpose. It is fun and educational! Requirements ------------ You should use the coreboot reference cross compiler. If you insist on using your system compiler, some Linux distributions might require you to install a package called gcc-multilib if you are on a 64bit system. Build ----- You need libpayload to build coreinfo. So, first, you need follow the README of libpayload to build it but install libpayload into its own directory by doing this: $ make DESTDIR=/path/to/libpayload/install install Then you can build coreinfo now: $ cd coreinfo $ make menuconfig $ make
