Dear coreboot folks,
I got a known working 8 MB coreboot image emailed for the ASRock E350M1. The chip size of the mounted flash chip is 4 MB. Looking at the contents less than 4 MB are used.
$ build/util/cbfstool/cbfstool /tmp/coreboot.rom print coreboot.rom: 8192 kB, bootblocksize 1288, romsize 8388608, offset 0x0 Alignment: 64 bytes

Looking at the contents the empty area is also at the end besides the following section at the very end.

So just `dd`ing the first 4 MB to another image does not seem the way to go. Can you give me a fool proof way to get that 8 MB image converted to 4 MB? That would be awesome.
Thanks,

Looking at the contents the empty area is also at the end besides the following section at the very end.
The problem is that the romstage resides in a rather low position - it is hard coded to its absolute position in ROM.
