the following patch was just integrated into master: commit e4ea2ca18d4764f8c79560d373d548d52532566d Author: Hung-Te Lin hungte@chromium.org Date: Tue Mar 19 12:24:43 2013 +0800
cbfstool locate: Implement alignment switch --align/-a
cbfstool usage change: "-a" for "cbfstool locate" can specify base address alignment.
To support putting a blob in aligned location (ex, microcode needs to be aligned in 0x10), alignment (-a) is implemented into "locate" command.
Verified by manually testing a file (324 bytes) with alignment=0x10: cbfstool coreboot.rom locate -f test -n test -a 0x10 # output: 0x71fdd0 cbfstool coreboot.rom add -f test -n test -t raw -b 0x71fdd0 cbfstool coreboot.rom print -v -v # output: test 0x71fd80 raw 324 # output: cbfs_file=0x71fd80, offset=0x50, content_address=0x71fdd0+0x144
Also verified to be compatible with old behavior by building i386/axus/tc320 (with page limitation 0x40000): cbfstool coreboot.rom locate -f romstage_null.bin -n romstage -P 0x40000 # output: 0x44 cbfstool coreboot.rom locate -f x.bin -n romstage -P 0x40000 -a 0x30 # output: 0x60
