I really don't have the time or inclination to get into a protracted re-structuring of the code right now, after all the effort
it's taken to
get to this point. I'm looking for the quick hack option
that'll get me
up and running again. If I knew how to locate and find the
binary data
in flash then I could more or less preserve my current
infrastructure
and worry about making it more coreboot friendly later.
Sure, working code is always better than non-working code :-) You can explicitely copy an optionrom to RAM using cbfs_load_optionrom(vendor, device, destination address); Choose some unused vid/did pair (vendor 0xffff should be a safe choice), add the files using the pci_rom statement in Config.lb, and use that function to load the images to where you want them.
If you need the ROM address of a cbfs file, cbfs_find(filename) is useful, but you'll have to skip over the file's header. Something like: cbfs_file *f = cbfs_find(filename); uchar *romaddr = (char*)f+(f->offset); should do the trick.
Hope this helps, Patrick
