I'm trying to build a coreboot-filo-grub bios for my Tyan s2885. I downloaded svn trees of coreboot-v2, filo-trunk, and buildrom-devel. I followed the tutorial for the Tyan s2882. I'm having some build problems, and I wonder if I was supposed to put the filo tree or the buildrom tree inside the coreboot tree in order to get it build.
I can give more details of my issues, but I would like to straighten this question out first, and RTFM some more before asking for more newbie help. Thanks for any input!

Aha. Two ways to move forward:
Either using buildrom only, it will download trees into directories, configure and build automatically.
Or manually building each component. For current FILO you also need libpayload. FILO and coreboot can be built separately, but libpayload goes in a subdirectory in the main FILO directory. Build FILO first, to get filo.elf. Then reference this in coreboot targets/vendor/board/Config.lb, then run ./buildtarget vendor/board in targets/, then run make in targets/vendor/board/vendorboarddiretorycreatedbybuildtarget This make step will create coreboot.rom
Or if your board is supported, you can use Kconfig. Build FILO as per above. Then cd into coreboot-v2, and run make menuconfig. Make settings, exit, then run make, which creates build/coreboot.rom
Kconfig is brand new and not working for many boards, but maybe yours is one of the lucky ones - and if not - maybe you can help with getting it to work? :)
