Stefan Reinauer c0a6c6b3b9 Add OPROM mapping support to coreboot This allows to add a PCI ID mapping function for option roms so that the same option rom can be used for a series of devices / PCI IDs. Intel and AMD often use the same option rom for a number of PCI devices with differend IDs. A function to implement such a mapping could look like this (or anything else appropriate): /* some vga option roms are used for several chipsets but they only have one * PCI ID in their header. If we encounter such an option rom, we need to do * the mapping ourselfes */ u32 map_oprom_vendev(u32 vendev) { u32 new_vendev=vendev; switch(vendev) { case 0xa0118086: new_vendev=0xa0018086; break; } return new_vendev; } Change-Id: I1be7fe113b895075d43ea48fe706b039cef136d2 Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/573 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Ronald G.

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 http://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:

 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices


Build Requirements
------------------

 * gcc / g++
 * make

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
 * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig')
 * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://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 http://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:

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
