openbios in config?

[David Griffith]

Is there any interest in having the Coreboot build process downliad and build OpenBIOS in the same fashion as SeaBIOS is now?

hi david,

I like it. It would be nice if you can upload a patch to gerrit [1]
doing it.

I'm working on it. So far, downloading from svn works.  It should be 
complete in a few days.

In general I think it's important to reduce the number of downloads
during coreboot builds to zero.

Downloading needs to be managed separately from building.

I agree that downloading at build time shouldn't be a requirement, and
that there should be the ability for building on a machine that isn't
connected to the internet.  So I'd say that it's important for the
number of *REQUIRED* downloads at build time to be zero.

Adding another payload option that downloads at build time isn't an
issue though - for people who don't want to use it, they can select
'no payload' or 'elf payload'.
