Upgrade CBFS in libpayload to use new media-based implementation from coreboot ( http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/2182/ ). Old CBFS functions (cbfs_find, cbfs_find_file, get_cbfs_header) are still supported, although the recommended way is to use new CBFS API. To migrate your existing x86 payload source: - Change cbfs_find to cbfs_get_file - Change cbfs_find_file to cbfs_get_file_content - Prefix every CBFS call with a CBFS_DEFAULT_MEDIA argument. Ex, char *jpeg_data = cbfs_find_file("splash.jpg", CBFS_TYPE_BOOTSPLASH); => char *jpeg_data = cbfs_get_file_content( CBFS_DEFAULT_MEDIA, "splash.jpg", CBFS_TYPE_BOOTSPLASH); The legacy setup_cbfs_from_{ram,flash} is also supported, although the better equivalent is to make a new media instance: struct cbfs_media ram_media; init_cbfs_ram_media(&ram_media, start, size); char *data = cbfs_get_file_content(&ram_media, "myfile", my_type); Verified by being successfully linked with filo.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ------------------ * gcc / g++ * make Optional: * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation) * iasl (for targets with ACPI support) * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets) * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig') * 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.
