Currently when U-Boot is loaded by coreboot in qemu, U-Boot does not boot due to several issues. This patch series fix these issues to make coreboot support in U-Boot more robust so that it can run on top of qemu out of the box.
The command to package u-boot into coreboot.rom: ./build/util/cbfstool/cbfstool build/coreboot.rom add-flat-binary \ -f u-boot-dtb.bin -n fallback/payload -c lzma -l 0x1110000 -e 0x1110015
It'd be awesome to have it documented somewhere :)
Yes, I can document it in README.x86.
Thanks. Also does qemu run U-Boot bare? I assume not. What is the main use case for Coreboot + U-Boot under qemu?
So far only coreboot can run bare on qemu. It is a specific board (Emulation board) for qemu in coreboot Kconfig. We can support qemu running U-Boot bare as well. It is just a matter of time of doing that. If you think this might be helpful, I can spend some time to support qemu bare in U-Boot. As for the main use case, I believe this provides us a way of testing U-Boot coreboot support without a real hardware, just like the purpose of any emulation/simulation tool we have in the market.
OK thanks for the info. It seems like it might be useful. Presumably it can run without binary blobs which would be good.
