Zoran,

I'm a bit confused as to where you are coming from with this - you can search for ASCII/hex strings using something as light as hexedit. No need to install a more full-blown hex editor especially. I'm not a fan of using sledgehammers to crack nuts.

Hello John,

From the pointer: magic is a 32 bit number that identifies the ROM as a CBFS type. The magic number is 0x4F524243, which is 'ORBC' in ASCII.

I did install on my F24 VM (in order to verify this info) wxHexEditor source code package (wxHexEditor-v0.23-src.tar.bz2): http://www.wxhexeditor.org/home.php

Please, you can all try it, there are some environmental catches/packages and CCP flags (CCPFLAGS) to be added, but it is fairly manageable. Here is how GUI looks like:

Interesting enough, wxHexAuthor Erdem (U. Altinyurt) is a jobless computer engineer, born and living since 1981,in Istanbul, Turkey. Why Erdem is jobless, that is the (crucial) question??? ;-)

Hi all,

I would like to know if it is possible, via a signature or a magic number, in the coreboot.rom file to recognize that it is a "coreboot" file.

I did not find anything in the Makefile.inc.

Thanks in advance
