coreboot for the Switch
9c242f779c
The VBOOT_OPROM_MATTERS configuration option signals to vboot that the board can skip display initialization in the normal boot path. It's name is a left-over from a time when this could only happen by avoiding to load the VGA option ROM on x86 devices, but nowadays we have other boards that can skip their native display initialization paths too, and the effect to vboot is the same. (Really, we should rename oprom_matters and oprom_loaded to display_skippable and display_initialized or something, but I don't think that's worth the amount of repositories this would need to touch.) The only effect this still has in today's vboot is to reboot and explicitly request display initialization for EC software sync on VBOOT_EC_SLOW_UPDATE devices (which we haven't had yet on ARM). Still, the vboot flag just declares the capability (for skipping display init), and it should be set correctly regardless of whether that actually makes a difference on a given platform (right now). This patch updates all boards/SoCs that have a conditional path based on display_init_required() accordingly. BRANCH=None BUG=chrome-os-partner:51145 TEST=Booted Oak, confirmed that there's no notable boot time impact.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ------------------ * make * gcc / g++ Because Linux distribution compilers tend to use lots of patches. coreboot does lots of "unusual" things in its build system, some of which break due to those patches, sometimes by gcc aborting, sometimes - and that's worse - by generating broken object code. Two options: use our toolchain (eg. make crosstools-i386) or enable the ANY_TOOLCHAIN Kconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case). * iasl (for targets with ACPI support) Optional: * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation) * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets) * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig' and 'make nconfig') * 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.
