Make sure that you have a fully working dump. ```bash [upsquared]$ ls firmware_vendor.rom ``` ```bash [upsquared]$ mkdir extracted && cd extracted [extracted]$ ifdtool -x ../firmware_vendor.rom File ../firmware_vendor.rom is 16777216 bytes Peculiar firmware descriptor, assuming Ibex Peak compatibility. Flash Region 0 (Flash Descriptor): 00000000 - 00000fff Flash Region 1 (BIOS): 00001000 - 00efefff Flash Region 2 (Intel ME): 07fff000 - 00000fff (unused) Flash Region 3 (GbE): 07fff000 - 00000fff (unused) Flash Region 4 (Platform Data): 07fff000 - 00000fff (unused) Flash Region 5 (Reserved): 00eff000 - 00ffefff Flash Region 6 (Reserved): 07fff000 - 00000fff (unused) Flash Region 7 (Reserved): 07fff000 - 00000fff (unused) Flash Region 8 (EC): 07fff000 - 00000fff (unused) ``` ```bash flashregion_0_flashdescriptor.bin flashregion_1_bios.bin flashregion_5_reserved.bin ``` ### Clean up ```bash [coreboot]$ make distclean ``` ### Configuring ```bash [coreboot]$ touch .config [coreboot]$ ./util/scripts/config --enable VENDOR_UP [coreboot]$ ./util/scripts/config --enable BOARD_UP_SQUARED [coreboot]$ ./util/scripts/config --enable NEED_IFWI [coreboot]$ ./util/scripts/config --enable HAVE_IFD_BIN [coreboot]$ ./util/scripts/config --set-str IFWI_FILE_NAME "" [coreboot]$ ./util/scripts/config --set-str IFD_BIN_PATH "" [coreboot]$ make olddefconfig ``` ### Building ```bash [coreboot]$ make ``` Now you should have a working and ready to use coreboot build at `build/coreboot.rom`. ### Flashing ```bash [coreboot]$ flashrom -p -w build/coreboot.rom ``` ## Board status ### Working - bootblock, romstage, ramstage - Serial console UART0, UART1 - SPI flash console - iGPU init with libgfxinit - LAN1, LAN2 - USB2, USB3 - HDMI, DisplayPort - eMMC - flashing with flashrom externally ### Work in progress - Documentation - ACPI ### Not working / Known issues - Generally SeaBIOS works, but it can't find the CBFS region and therefore it can't load seavgabios. This is because of changes at the Apollolake platform. ### Untested - GPIO pin header - 60 pin EXHAT - Camera interface - MIPI-CSI2 2-lane (2MP) - MIPI-CSI2 4-lane (8MP) - SATA3 - USB3 OTG - embedded DisplayPort - M.2 slot - mini PCIe - flashing with flashrom internally using Linux [header_cn16]: header_cn16_10pin_uart0.svg [header_cn16_link]: #uart0-cn16 [header_cn22]: header_cn22_12pin_spi.svg [header_cn22_link]: #using-the-spi-header [header_gpio]: header_40pin_gpio_uart1.svg [header_gpio_link]: #uart1-gpio-header [overview_top]: top.jpg [overview_bottom]: bottom.jpg [overview_bottom_link]: #bottom
