coreboot for the Switch
Find a file
Ronald G. minnich d41de2ea7a These changes implement car in qemu. The implementation is in several
ways superior to v3, while lacking its completeness. But, one nice 
thing: no more included .S or .c files. It's all separate compilation. 
That should allow our Makefiles to work much better.

Note that the current non-CAR implementation is the default and 
continues to work (tested FILO boot to Linux on both CAR and non-CAR).

Index: src/mainboard/emulation/qemu-x86/Config.lb
Change this to be sensitive to USE_DCACHE_RAM. All settings etc. that 
depend on this variable are grouped in one if, and the other parts 
(romcc etc.) are in the else. This change is a model of how we should be 
able to do other motherboards.

Index: src/mainboard/emulation/qemu-x86/Options.lb
add needed options. 

Index: src/mainboard/emulation/qemu-x86/failover.c
remove code inclusion from this not-yet-used file. 

Index: src/mainboard/emulation/qemu-x86/rom.c
This is the entry point for the rom-based code. Called stage1.c in v3. 

Index: src/lib/Config.lb
change initobject to a .o from a .c; this fixed a build problem. 

Index: src/pc80/serial.c
make uart_init non-static. 

Index: src/pc80/Config.lb
add initobject

Index: src/arch/i386/init/entry.S
Entry point. Unify a bunch of files that were fiddly lttle includes. From v3. 

Index: src/arch/i386/init/ldscript.ld
new file. The goal is to hang all init changes for CAR here, to minimize other changes to any
other ldscript. Besides, putting this in init makes sense; entry and car are manage init. 

Index: src/arch/i386/init/car.S
generic i386 car code from v3. 

Index: src/arch/i386/init/ldscript_fallback_cbfs.lb
Fix what looks like a bug: this was not including the init.text section. 

Index: targets/emulation/qemu-x86/Config.lb
push up the console loglevel. qemu is for debugging so we might as well 
get all the debugging we can. 

Index: targets/emulation/qemu-x86/Config-car.lb
For CAR bullds.

coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary
BIOS you can find in most of today's computers.

It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes
one of many possible payloads, e.g. a Linux kernel or a bootloader.


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
 * python
 * perl

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Documentation 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:

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
