Build Instructions for U-Boot as coreboot payload
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
|
Building U-Boot as a coreboot payload is just like building U-Boot for targets
|
|
on other architectures, like below::
|
|
|
|
$ make coreboot_defconfig
|
|
$ make all
|
|
|
|
Test with coreboot
|
|
------------------
|
|
For testing U-Boot as the coreboot payload, there are things that need be paid
|
|
attention to. coreboot supports loading an ELF executable and a 32-bit plain
|
|
binary, as well as other supported payloads. With the default configuration,
|
|
U-Boot is set up to use a separate Device Tree Blob (dtb). As of today, the
|
|
generated u-boot-dtb.bin needs to be packaged by the cbfstool utility (a tool
|
|
provided by coreboot) manually as coreboot's 'make menuconfig' does not provide
|
|
this capability yet. The command is as follows::
|
|
|
|
# in the coreboot root directory
|
|
$ ./build/util/cbfstool/cbfstool build/coreboot.rom add-flat-binary \
|
|
-f u-boot-dtb.bin -n fallback/payload -c lzma -l 0x1110000 -e 0x1110000
|
|
|
|
Make sure 0x1110000 matches CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, which is the symbol address
|
|
of _x86boot_start (in arch/x86/cpu/start.S).
|
|
|
|
If you want to use ELF as the coreboot payload, change U-Boot configuration to
|
|
use CONFIG_OF_EMBED instead of CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE.
|
|
|
|
To enable video you must enable these options in coreboot:
|
|
|
|
- Set framebuffer graphics resolution (1280x1024 32k-color (1:5:5))
|
|
- Keep VESA framebuffer
|
|
|
|
At present it seems that for Minnowboard Max, coreboot does not pass through
|
|
the video information correctly (it always says the resolution is 0x0). This
|
|
works correctly for link though.
