Hi Bin,

$(srctree)/board/$(BOARDDIR)/descriptor.binI don't see where the descriptor.bin is created?
This needs to be downloaded and provided, as with mrc.bin, etc.
I thought the descriptor.bin is used to describe the u-boot.rom layout, but seems you are saying it is coming from Intel(?). Is the format defined by Intel so that all the BIOS for that platform (u-boot.rom in our case) has to obey?
Yes, but only if there is a management engine (the CONFIG option you asked for).
I think I will adjust it (later) so that it builds an empty u-boot.rom and prints a warning on stdout if the binaries are not available. That way the buildman build will still succeed, but the user will see the problem. It might also be useful to have U-Boot report missing binaries when it starts up.
Sounds good.
Regards, Bin
