This patch fixes a bug that caused non-x86 boards to use the poor man's assert() version with a lot more instructions per invocation and hexadecimal line numbers in __PRE_RAM__ environments. This was really just an oversight in the ARM port... even x86 uses a proper printk() in most cases (those with CAR) and there's no reason not to do so on the generally even more flexible SRAM-based architectures. Additionally, it adds a new Kconfig option to make failed assertions and BUG() calls halt again. This seems to have been the original intention, but was commented out once out of fear that this might prevent production systems from booting. It is still a useful debugging feature though (since otherwise assertions can easily just scroll past and get overlooked), so the user should be able to decide the this based on his needs. (Also changed error messages for both to include the word "ERROR", since grepping for that is the most sophisticated way we currently have to detect firmware problems. Some automated Chromium OS suspend tests check for that.) BRANCH=veyron BUG=None TEST=Booted Jerry. Compared binary sizes before and after, new version's bootblock is some ~600 bytes smaller.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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: http://www.coreboot.org You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list: http://www.coreboot.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on coreboot is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
