<h1>Intel® x86 coreboot/FSP Development Process</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The x86 development process for coreboot is broken into the following components:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>coreboot <a target="_blank" href="SoC/soc.html">SoC</a> development</li>
|
|
<li>coreboot <a target="_blank" href="Board/board.html">mainboard</a> development</li>
|
|
<li><a target="_blank" href="fsp1_1.html">FSP 1.1</a> integration</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The development process has two main phases:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Minimal coreboot; This phase is single threaded</li>
|
|
<li>Adding coreboot features</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Minimal coreboot</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The combined steps below describe how to bring up a minimal coreboot for a
|
|
system-on-a-chip (SoC) and a development board:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<table>
|
|
<tr bgcolor="#ffffc0">
|
|
<td>The initial coreboot steps are single threaded!
|
|
The initial minimal FSP development is also single threaded.
|
|
Progress can speed up by adding more developers after the minimal coreboot/FSP
|
|
implementation reaches the payload.

|
<li>Get the necessary tools:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Linux: Use your package manager to install m4 bison flex and the libcurses development
|
|
package.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Ubuntu or other Linux distribution that use apt, run:
|
|
<pre><code>sudo apt-get install m4 bison flex libncurses5-dev
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Build the cross tools for i386:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Linux:
|
|
<pre><code>make crossgcc-i386</code></pre>
|
|
To use multiple processors for the toolchain build (which takes a long time), use:
|
|
<pre><code>make crossgcc-i386 CPUS=N</code></pre>
|
|
where N is the number of cores to use for the build.
