[coreboot] coreboot image signature

[Agrain Patrick]

Hi Benoit,

You may use the Boyer-Moore algo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyer%E2%80%93Moore_string_search_algorithm#Implementations)
to search the string 'coreboot' in the binary file.

I implemented it as-is, then:
<.>
    uint8_t *tag = boyer_moore(start, size, "coreboot", 8);
    if (tag == NULL) {
	"Found no coreboot..."
	..
    }
<.>

Hope it helps.
Regards,
Patrick

Objet : [coreboot] coreboot image signature

Hi all,
I would like to know if it is possible, via a signature or a magic number, in the coreboot.rom file to recognize that it is a "coreboot" file.
I did not find anything in the Makefile.inc.
Thanks in advance
