Gabe Black 025667f0ec libpayload: Change "GPIOs" into flags.
Some constants which were used to interpret the contents of the coreboot
tables were moved to the appropriate libpayload header file. The constant which
describes the maximum length of a GPIO name was renamed to have a CB_ prefix.
That makes it more obvious what sort of GPIO name it describes, and reduces the
change of a name collision. It also makes it more consistent with other names
in that header, although some other exceptions still exist.

libpayload README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

libpayload is a minimal library to support standalone payloads
that can be booted with firmware like coreboot. It handles the setup
code, and provides common C library symbols such as malloc() and printf().

Note: This is _not_ a standard library for use with an operating system,
rather it's only useful for coreboot payload development!
See http://coreboot.org for details on coreboot.


Installation
------------

 $ svn co svn://coreboot.org/coreboot/trunk/payloads/libpayload

 $ cd libpayload

 $ make menuconfig

 $ make

 $ sudo make install (optional, will install into /opt per default)

As libpayload is for 32bit x86 systems only, you might have to install the
32bit libgcc version, otherwise your payloads will fail to compile.
On Debian systems you'd do 'apt-get install gcc-multilib' for example.


Usage
-----

Here's an example of a very simple payload (hello.c) and how to build it:

 #include <libpayload.h>

 int main(void)
 {
     printf("Hello, world!\n");
     return 0;
 }

Building the payload using the 'lpgcc' compiler wrapper:

 $ lpgcc -o hello.elf hello.c

Please see the sample/ directory for details.
