With commit '4074ce0cc7 (intel/apollolake: Add HDA to disable_dev function)' FSP is now requested to switch off HDA PCI device if it is disabled in devicetree. Doing so results in a warm restart. Normally this event will be stored in CMOS RAM (if the descriptor is configured to do so) and therefore no further resets are requested by FSP on the next boots as long as CMOS RAM is kept alive. The Siemens mainboards based on Apollo Lake do not have a CMOS battery and therefore the CMOS is not backed up. This leads to reset requests from FSP after PCI enumeration on every boot. To avoid this reset enable HDA in devicetree for these mainboards. Though we do not have any usage of HDA it should not be an issue that the HDA device is now enabled. The benefit is though that no reset is requested anymore by FSP.

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 https://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:
- https://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
- https://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_TOOLCHAINKconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case). - iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
- pkg-config
- libssl-dev (openssl)
Optional:
- doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
- gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
- ncurses (for
make menuconfigandmake nconfig) - flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)
Building coreboot
Please consult https://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 https://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.
