Gaggery Tsai 9d0fc3f396 mb/google/brya/var/vell: Remove Rcomp settings
This patch removes Rcomp settings. In MRC design, it checks if the
Rcomp settings from the board is 0 or null, if so, it uses the
recommended Rcomp values. Otherwise, it uses the Rcomp settings passed
from the UPD. From the change history of MRC, we're chasing a moving
target. This RCOMP setting in coreboot is an old setting while the
Rcomp settins in MRC are optimized settings. Moving forward, if there
is a new stepping, it might be changed again which increases the
maintenance effort in coreboot. IMHO, we should let MRC to set the
optimized RCOMP values for the design.

BUG=b:219378758
TEST=emerge-byra coreboot chromeos-bootimage and boots up with QS and
     PRQ CPUs. Checks with MRC log and ensure the RCOMP settings are
     filled properly by MRC.

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_TOOLCHAIN Kconfig 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 menuconfig and make 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

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:
