Hi Cameron,
I contact you since I am doing the same development as you. In my company we developed a board based on Leaf-hill CRB from Intel. I am in the process of making a clean image of the bios and I find the following problem to see if you can help me.
Complete all the process that you comment having the account the last files of this year:
Coreboot: V4.9 FSP: Intel MR5 (566285) IFWI image: "Intel-atome-e3900-soc-ifwi-224-41-release-package" (I think it is the last one available). Inside it has a ready-to-record image in 8Mb SPI. Do you know why most of the documents have 8mb images when the CRB that I have and my mother has 16Mb? The Flash description is extracted from the image that the CRB originally has with the tool "ifdtool.c". it is right?
Well with these elements I configure coreboot using "menuconfig" as you mentioned in your post, at first I had an error compiling because I did not choose to use the BLOBS repo that it has in this version. Is that configuration fine?
Finally, I managed to buid but at the end the following legend appears:
""" This image contains the following sections that can be manipulated with this tool:
'SI_DESC' (size 4096, offset 0) 'IFWI' (size 3141632, offset 4096) 'COREBOOT' (CBFS, size 12703744, offset 3147776) 'RECOVERY_MRC_CACHE' (size 65536, offset 15851520) 'RW_MRC_CACHE' (size 65536, offset 15917056) 'RW_VAR_MRC_CACHE' (size 4096, offset 15982592) 'BIOS_UNUSABLE' (size 262144, offset 15986688) 'DEVICE_EXTENSION' (size 520192, offset 16248832) 'UNUSED_HOLE' (size 4096, offset 16773120)
It is possible to perform either the write action or the CBFS add/remove actions on every section listed above. To see the image's read-only sections as well, rerun with the -w option. CBFSPRINT coreboot.rom

** WARNING ** coreboot has been built without an Intel Firmware Descriptor. Never write a complete coreboot.rom without an IFD to your board's flash chip! You can use flashrom's IFD or layout parameters to flash only to the BIOS region. """ To you this warning happens, because of that the .bin is not generated to download in the SPI memory. Can you help me with this situation?
Thank you
