Re: [coreboot] Coreboot + Depthcharge
by Marshall Dawson
Hello Mark,
1. You can skip this step in your instructions. Instead, when running
make menuconfig, look in Chipset / ChromeOS and select "Build for
ChromeOS". This should cause Depthcharge to appear as a payload option.
You can find the reason for this is in depthcharge/Kconfig.name. The
"depends on" statement keeps it from being visible until the CHROMEOS
condition is met.
2. I would probably keep this step, although I don't know
veyron/speedy. You'll see one of the options under Depthcharge, "Use
default libpayload config". That may move the build along, but I doubt it
has the options you'll need as it works for x86.
Thanks,
Marshall

coreboot very much intentionally does not limit what can be used as
payload. Any bare metal program can be used as payload.
Thus, Depthcharge indeed *is* a possible payload, it is just not
mentioned in Kconfig.
It was maybe a mistake to offer this automation near the choice of payload,
creating an impression that a few payloads are somehow better than others.

It would be good to know why this happens. Is config.veyron used
elsewhere? Is there both a veyron and a veyron_speedy board? Was the
board renamed in coreboot but this file (in libpayload) overlooked?

The second part with the board name looks like a bug, but I don't
know what the appropriate fix is. That requires studying coreboot and
libpayload repos a bit before creating a patch.
If you want, you can of course also push a patch to Gerrit to add
Depthcharge to the list of payloads.

Re: [coreboot] Issue report

Hi all,
Later I noticed that it is reported from #coreboot that linux needs
"acpi=noirq" to boot properly
