Some projects (like ChromeOS) put more content than described by CBFS
onto their image. For top-aligned images (read: x86), this has
traditionally been achieved with a CBFS_SIZE Kconfig (which denotes the
area actually managed by CBFS, as opposed to ROM_SIZE) that is used to
calculate the CBFS entry start offset. On bottom-aligned boards, many
define a fake (smaller) ROM_SIZE for only the CBFS part, which is not
consistently done and can be an issue because ROM_SIZE is expected to be
a power of two.
This patch changes all non-x86 boards to describe their actual
(physical) ROM size via one of the BOARD_ROMSIZE_KB_xxx options as a
mainboard Kconfig select (which is the correct place to declare
unchangeable physical properties of the board). It also changes the
cbfstool create invocation to use CBFS_SIZE as the -s parameter for
those architectures, which defaults to ROM_SIZE but gets overridden for
special use cases like ChromeOS. This has the advantage that cbfstool
has a consistent idea of where the area it is responsible for ends,
which offers better bounds-checking and is needed for a subsequent fix.
Also change the FMAP offset to default to right behind the (now
consistently known) CBFS region for non-x86 boards, which has emerged as
a de-facto standard on those architectures and allows us to reduce the
amount of custom configuration. In the future, the nightmare that is
ChromeOS's image build system could be redesigned to enforce this
automatically, and also confirm that it doesn't overwrite any space used
by CBFS (which is now consistently defined as the file size of
coreboot.rom on non-x86).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
