This change adds support for allowing mainboards to stitch CSE components during build time instead of adding a pre-built CSE binary. Several Kconfig options are added to allow mainboard to provide the file names for different CSE region components. This makes use of the newly added cse_serger and cse_fpt tools to create following partitions: 1. BP1 - RO 2. BP2 - RW 3. Layout In addition to this, it accepts CSE data partition as an input using Kconfig CSE_DATA_FILE. All these partitions are then assembled together as per the following mainboard FMAP regions: 1. BP1(RO) : CSE_RO 2. BP2(RW) : CSE_RW 3. Layout : CSE_LAYOUT 4. Data : CSE_DATA Finally, it generates the target $(OBJ_ME_BIN) which is used to put together the binary in final coreboot.rom image. Several helper functions are added to soc/intel/Makefile.inc to allow SoCs to define which components use: 1. Decomposed files: Files decomposed from Intel release CSE binary in FPT format. 2. Input files: Mainboard provided input files using corresponding Kconfigs. 3. Dummy: Components that are required to have dummy entries in BPDT header. These helpers are added to soc/intel/Makefile.inc to ensure that the functions are defined by the time the invocations are encountered in SoC Makefile.inc.

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.
