Section 7.8.6 of the PCIe spec (rev 4) indicates that some devices can indicates support for "Resizable BARs" via a PCIe extended capability. When support this capability is indicated by the device, the size of each BAR is determined in a different way than the normal "moving bits" method. Instead, a pair of capability and control registers is allocated in config space for each BAR, which can be used to both indicate the different sizes the device is capable of supporting for the BAR (powers-of-2 number of bits from 20 [1 MiB] to 63 [8 EiB]), and to also inform the device of the size that the allocator actually reserved for the MMIO range. This patch adds a Kconfig for a mainboard to select if it knows that it will have a device that requires this support during PCI enumeration. If so, there is a corresponding Kconfig to indicate the maximum number of bits of address space to hand out to devices this way (again, limited by what devices can support and each individual system may want to support, but just like above, this number can range from 20 to 63) If the device can support more bits than this Kconfig, the resource request is truncated to the number indicated by this Kconfig. BUG=b:214443809 TEST=compile (device with this capability not available yet), also verify that no changes are seen in resource allocation for google/brya0 before and after this change.

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.
