This maintains a 32bit monotonically increasing boot counter that is stored in CMOS and logged on every non-S3 boot when the event log is initialized. In CMOS the count is prefixed with a 16bit signature and appended with a 16bit checksum. This counter is incremented in sandybridge early_init which is called by romstage. It is incremented early in order notice when reboots happen after memory init. The counter is then logged when ELOG is initialized and will store the boot count as part of a 'System boot; event. Reboot a few times and look for 'System boot' events in the event log and check that they are increasing. Also verify that the counter does NOT increase when resuming from S3. 171 | 2012-06-23 16:02:55 | System boot | 285 176 | 2012-06-23 16:26:00 | System boot | 286 182 | 2012-06-23 16:27:04 | System boot | 287 189 | 2012-06-23 16:31:10 | System boot | 288 Change-Id: I23faeafcf155edfd10aa6882598b3883575f8a33 Signed-off-by: Duncan Laurie <dlaurie@chromium.org> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/1315 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: 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.
