Without CBFS a payload path like
payload ../../bios.vx855.090330.bin.elf
works. This is nice because I don't lose my binaries everytime I blow away the work directory and keeps them in a location where copying (or tarballing) the trees around keeps the images with them.
If you try to build with CBFS then this fails. Looks like the cbfstool runs in a directory that is one level above from 'image'.
It is. It's a fundamental change. I don't know an easy way to fix it.
But my payload path of ../payload.elf works ok anyway.
Seems reasonable to me that the build should copy the working files into the image directory and work with them from there.
Depends on what you mean by image directory. Do you mean normal/ or do you mean the top level build directory? It used to be that the payload was attached to, e.g., normal/coreboot.strip. no longer. It's now attached to coreboot.rom. Relative paths continue to work -- but they are going to be one less .. from before, because the cbfs utility is run one level higher.
Anyway, if you have a patch to improve this, it might be good to see.
Thanks!
