2018-08-20x86: dts: Remove coreboot_fb.dtsiBin Meng
There is no need to keep a separate coreboot_fb.dtsi since now we have a generic coreboot payload dts. While we are here, this also remove the out-of-date description in the documentation regarding to coreboot framebuffer driver with U-Boot loaded as a payload from coreboot. As the testing result with QEMU 2.5.0 shows, the driver just works like a charm. Signed-off-by: Bin Meng <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2018-08-20x86: coreboot: Add generic coreboot payload supportBin Meng
Currently building U-Boot as the coreboot payload requires user to change the build configuration for a specific board during menuconfig process. This uses the board's native device tree to configure the hardware. For example, the device tree provides PCI address range for the PCI host controller and U-Boot will re-program all PCI devices' BAR to be within this range. In order to make sure we don't mess up the hardware, we should guarantee the range matches what coreboot programs the chipset. But we really should make the coreboot payload support easier. Just like EFI payload, we can create a generic coreboot payload for all x86 boards as well. The payload is configured to include as many generic drivers as possible. All stuff that touches low level initialization are not allowed as such is the coreboot's responsibility. Platform specific drivers (like gpio, spi, etc) are not included.

2018-06-17x86: doc: Fix reference to EFI doc in U-BootBin Meng
Since commit f3b5056c4e72 ("efi_loader: split README.efi into two separate documents"), the original README.efi was renamed to README.u-boot_on_efi, but x86 doc still refers to the old one. This updates the x86 doc to reference both README.u-boot_on_efi and README.uefi. Signed-off-by: Bin Meng <[email protected]>
2018-06-13x86: cougarcanyon2: Remove CONFIG_HAVE_INTEL_MEBin Meng
As README.x86 already mentions, there are two SPI flashes mounted on Intel Cougar Canyon 2 board, called SPI-0 and SPI-1 respectively. SPI-0 stores the flash descriptor and the ME firmware. SPI-1 stores the actual BIOS image which is U-Boot. Building a single image with both ME firmware and U-Boot does not make sense. This also describes the exact flash location where the u-boot.rom should be programmed in the documentation. Signed-off-by: Bin Meng <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2018-05-07SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel styleTom Rini
When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line) and with slightly different comment styles than us. In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style. This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag and have introduced one. Signed-off-by: Tom Rini <[email protected]>
2018-04-16x86: Rename coreboot-x86 to corebootSimon Glass

2017-10-19x86: provide CONFIG_BUILD_ROMHeinrich Schuchardt
Up to now we depended on an exported variable to build u-boot.rom. We should be able to specify it in the configuration file, too. With this patch this becomes possible using the new Kconfig option CONFIG_BUILD_ROM. This option depends on CONFIG_X86 and is selected in qemu-x86_defconfig and qemu-x86_64_defconfig.

This is done in board/intel/edison/config.mk. First run sets hardware_id environment variable which is read from System Controller Unit (SCU). Serial number (serial# environment variable) is generated based on eMMC CID. MAC address on USB network interface is unique to the board but kept the same all over the time. Set mac address from U-Boot using following scheme: OUI = 02:00:86 next 3 bytes of MAC address set from eMMC serial number This allows to have a unique mac address across reboot and flashing.

2016-11-14x86: Enable EFI loader supportSimon Glass
Enable this so that EFI applications (notably grub) can be run under U-Boot on x86 platforms. At present the 'hello world' EFI application is not supported for the qemu-x86_efi_payload64 board. That board builds a payload consisting of a 64-bit header and a 32-bit U-Boot, which is incompatible with the way the EFI loader builds its EFI application. The following error is obtained: x86_64-linux-ld.bfd: i386 architecture of input file `lib/efi_loader/helloworld.o' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output This could be corrected with additional Makefile rules.

Currently U-Boot environment address is at offset 0x7fe00 of a 8MB SPI flash. When creating a partial u-boot.rom image without flash descriptor and ME firmware, U-Boot actually occupies the last 1MB of the flash, and reprograming U-Boot causes previous environment settings get lost which is not convenient during testing.
