In theory U-Boot built for coreboot is supposed to run as a payload to be loaded by coreboot on every board that coreboot supports. The U-Boot build process uses SYS_CONFIG_NAME and DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE which are hardcoded in board defconfig and Kconfig files. For better support of coreboot, we want to make these two options configurable so that we can easily change them during 'make menuconfig' so that the generated U-Boot image for coreboot is board configuration aware.
Note this v2 patch series aims to better support coreboot, while v1 patch series just tried to resolve the issues seen on qemu. Several issues are fixed to make coreboot support in U-Boot more robust.
See v1 patch discussion @ http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2015-January/200140.html
The official qemu U-Boot support will come in the future. This patch series have been tested with coreboot running on qemu and Intel Crown Bay (my own unofficiall simple port, not in coreboot mainline) then loading the U-Boot built with the new mechanism.
Changes in v2: - Fix the CONFIG_COLLECT_TIMESTAMPS typo in the comment block and commit message - Spell out TSC, MSR and PIT in the Kconfig help - New patch to move CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR and CONFIG_SYS_X86_START16 to Kconfig - New patch to hide ROM chip size when CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR is not selected - New patch to make SYS_CONFIG_NAME and DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE configurable - New patch to move coreboot specific defines from coreboot.h to Kconfig - New patch to move CONFIG_SYS_CAR_xxx to Kconfig - New patch to remove include/configs/coreboot.h - New patch to make chromebook_link the default board for coreboot - Leave CROS_EC defines unchanged in coreboot.h - New patch to configure pci memory regions - New patch to update REAME.x86 for coreboot support
