the following patch was just integrated into master: commit 4199fe3d470a2a9e9f87058ede9037307647ca31 Author: Vadim Bendebury vbendeb@chromium.org Date: Tue Jun 19 08:34:51 2012 -0700
Add microcode blob processing
When microcode storage in CBFS is enabled, the make system is supposed to generate the microcode blob and place it into the generated ROM image as a CBFS component.
The microcode source representation does not change: it is still an array of 32 bit constants. This new addition compiles the array into a separate object file and then strips all sections but data.
The raw data section is then included into CBFS as a file named 'microcode_blob.bin' of type 0x53, which is assigned to microcode storage.
