Hi, I illustrate to you my step and my doubts:
- I have download only the "buildrom" (no coreboot-v2 !?) with "svn co
svn://coreboot.org/buildrom"
- Go into buildrom/buildrom-devel/ directory.
- Through "make menuconfig" I have set the "pcengine" and "alix1c" mobo
- After "make menuconfig" I have run "make"... and I get the error.
- That's right, I have change the ROM_SIZE from 512 to 2048 in the file:
./buildrom/buildrom-devel/work/coreboot/svn/targets/pcengines/alix1c/Config.lb
- I have run again the "make" command. Ok It's compiled correctly.
...and now? Can I download the .rom file into the BIOS chip?
Yes, that's right.
But...the Init process? Who launch it?
If you selected a "Linux kernel payload" then the Linux kernel is inside the .rom file and will mount root and start init according to the Kernel command line option in buildrom. You can find these options in the buildrom menuconfig:
Payload Configuration -> Desired payload -> Linux kernel and Payload Configuration -> Desired payload -> Kernel Configuration -> Kernel command line
and the coreboot-v2? svn co svn://coreboot.org/repos/trunk/coreboot-v2 I use it for ...?
It is not needed when you are using buildrom. buildrom downloads it's own copy of coreboot during the build process.
