Problem with the size of the payload

[Björn Zadow]

Hello,

I tried to build a rom Image for an Axus TC 320 using filo as payload. Everything seems OK until the message "  There is not enough room in this ROM" The size of my filo.elf file is 88400 Byte. Is this too large?
What can I do to make it smaller. Or what am i doing wrong?
I use coreboot-v2-4559.

rm -f ./coreboot.rom
cat normal/coreboot.rom  fallback/coreboot.rom > ./coreboot.rom.bootblock
./cbfs/cbfstool ./coreboot.rom create 262144 131072 ./coreboot.rom.bootblock
./cbfs/cbfstool ./coreboot.rom add-payload ../filo.elf normal/payload 
./cbfs/cbfstool ./coreboot.rom add-stage normal/coreboot_ram normal/coreboot_ram 
if [ -f normal/coreboot_apc ]; then ./cbfs/cbfstool ./coreboot.rom add-stage normal/coreboot_apc normal/coreboot_apc ; fi
./cbfs/cbfstool ./coreboot.rom add-payload ../filo.elf fallback/payload 
(cbfstool) E: There is not enough room in this ROM
make: *** [coreboot.rom] Error 255

Thanks for help
Bjoern

Try reducing CONFIG_ROM_IMAGE_SIZE in 
src/mainboard/axus/tc320/Options.lb to 32 * 1024. Also adapt 
CONFIG_XIP_ROM_SIZE in Config.lb (same directory) to the same value, and 
make sure that both aren't overwritten in the Config.lb you use with 
buildtarget.

Please report back the result.

Thanks,

You could also get rid of the normal image to free up some space.
Compressing the payload with lzma would help too.

Could you run ./cbfs/cbfstool ./coreboot.rom print in the
targets/axus/tc320/tc320 directory too?

Thanks,
