This is where we reach the crux of the matter - In the stock/shellball firmware, extracting BOOT_STUB doesn't yield a file which cbfstool in upstream coreboot or CrOS coreboot can decipher. Looking at the file in hexedit it appears to be almost identical to a CBFS that is recognised, but that's it. I have managed to extract the SVGA binary from the CBFS in the RW_LEGACY slot, and I've made an educated guess as to where the system-agent begins and ends in the unrecognised CBFS (section beginning "LARCHIVE mrc.bin" or similar with the binary itself following, surrounded by FF's) copying and pasting it to a file. I would like to know if I am correct in my assumptions about extracting that file manually and what size it should be, in bytes?
That's interesting. It is just a regular 'ol cbfs. The images that shipped with your device is an 8MiB SPI. First 2MiB Duncan covered. The next 5 have nothing to do w/ coreboot proper -- all the extra vboot firmware bits. The last 1MiB is the cbfs.
Okay, well I extracted the attached file using:
eval `./fmap_decode bios.bin | grep BOOT_STUB` dd if=c720.rom ibs=$((area_offset)) skip=1 | dd bs=$((area_size)) iflag=fullblock of=c720-coreboot.bin
and:
../coreboot/build/cbfstool c720-coreboot.bin print
produces:
c720-coreboot.bin: 1024 kB, bootblocksize 3144, romsize 8388608, offset 0x700000 alignment: 64 bytes

Ugh. If only my copy/past worked. Try this one instead: http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/4771/
