Hello Zvika:

First get the correct original full 8MB FW from the manufacturer or dump it from the board with the command in EFI:

"ftp -d BYT_orig.bin" and double save it.

2.- in coreboot/util/ifdtool do make and sudo make install.

3.- in terminal go to the FW directory and do:    "ifdtool BYT_orig.bin -f fw_layout.txt"

      a).- in "fw_layout.txt" you will get the BIOS area size from the original FW (just substract).

      b).- if the size of the original BIOS is bigger or equal than coreboot build you are good to go ahead.

4.- copy/move "BYT_orig.bin" in the directory which resides the coreboot folder (not inside the coreboot folder) and do:

     ifdtool -i BIOS:./coreboot/build/coreboot.rom CB_baytrail.bin

5.- flash it:   "fpt -f CB_baytrail.bin" booting from UEFI.

If the build was correctly done and followed accurately those steps the system should boot.

Good luck,

Jose Trujillo.

Hello,

I have an Intel's ATOM Bay Trail board. The output of "inteltool" is:

CPU: ID 0x30679, Processor Type 0x0, Family 0x6, Model 0x37, Stepping 0x9

Northbridge: 8086:0f00 (Bay Trail)

Southbridge: 8086:0f1c (Bay Trail)

IGD: 8086:0f31 (unknown)

In coreboot configuration I selected:

Mainboard -> Mainboard model -> Bayley Bay FSP-based CRB

The default ROM chip size is 2MB. 

This is also the size of coreboot.rom created after "make"

The board has 8MB BIOS flash. 

It's delivered with a BIOS programming utility that runs under EFI shell.

The original BIOS has 2 versions: rom (5MB) and bin (8MB)

I tried to burn the 2MB coreboot.rom with the vendor's BIOS utlity.

 

I got:

3 - Error: ROM file size does not match existing BIOS size. 

Should I convert coreboot.rom to coreboot.bin ? How ?

If not, how can I program coreboot.rom ?

Thank you,

Zvika
