Vadim Bendebury f61809ab38 storm: handle dual purpose recovery button
Storm devices' recovery button is overloaded. Pressing it when the
system is running is supposed to reset the device. To trigger recovery
mode the button must be held pressed for at least 5 seconds after
reset.

Currently interpreting the recovery button state is the responsibility
of the board (vboot gets a consolidated state, which is a combination
of several conditions), so the simplest way to implement this feature
is to make the board follow the recovery button state.

In case the button is not pressed when it is first sampled, its state
is saved immediately and no recovery request is reported. In case the
button is pressed when it is first sampled, the board code keeps
polling it up to 5 seconds and acts accordingly.

BRANCH=storm
BUG=chrome-os-partner:36059
TEST=tried starting a whirlwind with recovery button pressed for
     various durations, it entered recovery mode when the button was
     pressed longer than 5 seconds.

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:
