If you select this option, PCI Option ROMs will be executed

so this is the fastest, but also the least secure option.
(only works on x86/x64 systems)
 
||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| PCI_OPTION_ROM_RUN_YABEL || device || bool || Secure mode ||
If you select this option, the x86emu CPU emulator will be used to
execute PCI Option ROMs.
 
This option prevents Option ROMs from doing dirty tricks with the
system (such as installing SMM modules or hypervisors), but it is
also significantly slower than the native Option ROM initialization
method.
 
This is the default choice for non-x86 systems.

|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| YABEL_PCI_ACCESS_OTHER_DEVICES || device || bool || Allow Option ROMs to access other devices ||
Per default, YABEL only allows Option ROMs to access the PCI device

|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| YABEL_PCI_FAKE_WRITING_OTHER_DEVICES_CONFIG || device || bool || Fake success on writing other device's config space ||
By default, YABEL aborts when the Option ROM tries to write to other
devices' config spaces. With this option enabled, the write doesn't
follow through, but the Option ROM is allowed to go on.
This can create issues such as hanging Option ROMs (if it depends on
that other register changing to the written value), so test for
impact before using this option.
 
||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"

YABEL requires 1MB memory for its CPU emulation. This memory is

|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| YABEL_DIRECTHW || device || bool || Direct hardware access ||
YABEL consists of two parts: It uses x86emu for the CPU emulation and
additionally provides a PC system emulation that filters bad device
and memory access (such as PCI config space access to other devices
than the initialized one).
 
When choosing this option, x86emu will pass through all hardware
accesses to memory and I/O devices to the underlying memory and I/O
addresses. While this option prevents Option ROMs from doing dirty
tricks with the CPU (such as installing SMM modules or hypervisors),
they can still access all devices in the system.
Enable this option for a good compromise between security and speed.

This option allows you to use a so-called USB EHCI Debug device
(such as the Ajays NET20DC, AMIDebug RX, or a system using the
Linux "EHCI Debug Device gadget" driver found in recent kernel)
to retrieve the coreboot debug messages (instead, or in addition
to, a serial port).
 
This feature is NOT supported on all chipsets in coreboot!
 
It also requires a USB2 controller which supports the EHCI
Debug Port capability.
 
See http://www.coreboot.org/EHCI_Debug_Port for an up-to-date list
of supported controllers.
 
If unsure, say N.
 
||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"

be setup on entry to ramstage.
 
If unsure, say Y.
 
||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| USBDEBUG_HCD_INDEX || drivers/usb || int || Index for EHCI controller to use with usbdebug ||
Some boards have multiple EHCI controllers with possibly only
one having the Debug Port capability on an external USB port.

setting makes no difference there.
 
Hence, if you select the correct port here, you can speed up
your boot time. Which USB port number refers to which actual
port on your mainboard (potentially also USB pin headers on
your mainboard) is highly board-specific, and you'll likely
have to find out by trial-and-error.

payload image later.
 
||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| PAYLOAD_LINUX || toplevel || bool || A Linux payload ||
Select this option if you have a Linux bzImage which coreboot
should run as soon as the basic hardware initialization
is completed.
 
You will be able to specify the location and file name of the
payload image later.
 
||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| PAYLOAD_SEABIOS || toplevel || bool || SeaBIOS ||

after powering on. This specifies how long SeaBIOS will wait for the
keyboard controller to become ready before giving up.
 
||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| SEABIOS_THREAD_OPTIONROMS || toplevel || bool || Hardware init during option ROM execution ||
Allow hardware init to run in parallel with optionrom execution.
 
This can reduce boot time, but can cause some timing
variations during option ROM code execution. It is not
known if all option ROMs will behave properly with this option.
 
||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| SEABIOS_MALLOC_UPPERMEMORY || toplevel || bool ||  ||
Use the "Upper Memory Block" area (0xc0000-0xf0000) for internal
"low memory" allocations.  If this is not selected, the memory is
instead allocated from the "9-segment" (0x90000-0xa0000).
This is not typically needed, but may be required on some platforms
to allow USB and SATA buffers to be written correctly by the
hardware.  In general, if this is desired, the option will be
set to 'N' by the chipset Kconfig.

Revision as of 23:24, 5 May 2015

This is an automatically generated list of coreboot compile-time options.

Last update: 2015/05/05 16:17:26. (r4.0-9599-g40c26df-dirty)

Option Source Format Short Description Description
Menu: General setup
EXPERT toplevel bool Expert mode

This allows you to select certain advanced configuration options.

Warning: Only enable this option if you really know what you are doing! You have been warned!

LOCALVERSION toplevel string Local version string

Append an extra string to the end of the coreboot version.

This can be useful if, for instance, you want to append the respective board's hostname or some other identifying string to the coreboot version number, so that you can easily distinguish boot logs of different boards from each other.

CBFS_PREFIX toplevel string CBFS prefix to use

Select the prefix to all files put into the image. It's "fallback" by default, "normal" is a common alternative.

COMMON_CBFS_SPI_WRAPPER toplevel bool

Use common wrapper to interface CBFS to SPI bootrom.

MULTIPLE_CBFS_INSTANCES toplevel bool Multiple CBFS instances in the bootrom

Account for the firmware image containing more than one CBFS instance. Locations of instances are known at build time and are communicated between coreboot stages to make sure the next stage is loaded from the appropriate instance.

MULTIPLE_CBFS_INSTANCES toplevel bool Compiler to use

This option allows you to select the compiler used for building coreboot.

COMPILER_GCC toplevel bool GCC

Use the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) to build coreboot.

For details see http://gcc.gnu.org.

COMPILER_LLVM_CLANG toplevel bool LLVM/clang

Use LLVM/clang to build coreboot.

For details see http://clang.llvm.org.

ANY_TOOLCHAIN toplevel bool Allow building with any toolchain

Many toolchains break when building coreboot since it uses quite unusual linker features. Unless developers explicitely request it, we'll have to assume that they use their distro compiler by mistake. Make sure that using patched compilers is a conscious decision.

CCACHE toplevel bool Use ccache to speed up (re)compilation

Enables the use of ccache for faster builds.

Requires the ccache utility in your system $PATH.

For details see https://ccache.samba.org.

SCONFIG_GENPARSER toplevel bool Generate SCONFIG parser using flex and bison

Enable this option if you are working on the sconfig device tree parser and made changes to sconfig.l and sconfig.y.

Otherwise, say N.

USE_OPTION_TABLE toplevel bool Use CMOS for configuration values

Enable this option if coreboot shall read options from the "CMOS" NVRAM instead of using hard-coded values.

STATIC_OPTION_TABLE toplevel bool Load default configuration values into CMOS on each boot

Enable this option to reset "CMOS" NVRAM values to default on every boot. Use this if you want the NVRAM configuration to never be modified from its default values.

COMPRESS_RAMSTAGE toplevel bool Compress ramstage with LZMA

Compress ramstage to save memory in the flash image. Note that decompression might slow down booting if the boot flash is connected through a slow link (i.e. SPI).

INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE toplevel bool Include the coreboot .config file into the ROM image

Include the .config file that was used to compile coreboot in the (CBFS) ROM image. This is useful if you want to know which options were used to build a specific coreboot.rom image.

Saying Y here will increase the image size by 2-3KB.

You can use the following command to easily list the options:

grep -a CONFIG_ coreboot.rom

Alternatively, you can also use cbfstool to print the image contents (including the raw 'config' item we're looking for).

Example:

$ cbfstool coreboot.rom print coreboot.rom: 4096 kB, bootblocksize 1008, romsize 4194304, offset 0x0 Alignment: 64 bytes

Name Offset Type Size cmos_layout.bin 0x0 cmos layout 1159 fallback/romstage 0x4c0 stage 339756 fallback/ramstage 0x53440 stage 186664 fallback/payload 0x80dc0 payload 51526 config 0x8d740 raw 3324 (empty) 0x8e480 null 3610440

COLLECT_TIMESTAMPS toplevel bool Create a table of timestamps collected during boot

Make coreboot create a table of timer-ID/timer-value pairs to allow measuring time spent at different phases of the boot process.

USE_BLOBS toplevel bool Allow use of binary-only repository

This draws in the blobs repository, which contains binary files that might be required for some chipsets or boards. This flag ensures that a "Free" option remains available for users.

COVERAGE toplevel bool Code coverage support

Add code coverage support for coreboot. This will store code coverage information in CBMEM for extraction from user space. If unsure, say N.

RELOCATABLE_MODULES toplevel bool Relocatable Modules

If RELOCATABLE_MODULES is selected then support is enabled for building relocatable modules in the RAM stage. Those modules can be loaded anywhere and all the relocations are handled automatically.

RELOCATABLE_RAMSTAGE toplevel bool Build the ramstage to be relocatable in 32-bit address space.

The reloctable ramstage support allows for the ramstage to be built as a relocatable module. The stage loader can identify a place out of the OS way so that copying memory is unnecessary during an S3 wake. When selecting this option the romstage is responsible for determing a stack location to use for loading the ramstage.

CACHE_RELOCATED_RAMSTAGE_OUTSIDE_CBMEM toplevel bool Cache the relocated ramstage outside of cbmem.

The relocated ramstage is saved in an area specified by the by the board and/or chipset.

SKIP_MAX_REBOOT_CNT_CLEAR toplevel bool Do not clear reboot count after successful boot

Do not clear the reboot count immediately after successful boot. Set to allow the payload to control normal/fallback image recovery.

UPDATE_IMAGE toplevel bool Update existing coreboot.rom image

If this option is enabled, no new coreboot.rom file is created. Instead it is expected that there already is a suitable file for further processing. The bootblock will not be modified.

GENERIC_GPIO_LIB toplevel bool

If enabled, compile the generic GPIO library. A "generic" GPIO implies configurability usually found on SoCs, particularly the ability to control internal pull resistors.

BOARD_ID_AUTO toplevel bool

Mainboards that can read a board ID from the hardware straps (ie. GPIO) select this configuration option.

BOARD_ID_MANUAL toplevel bool Add board ID file to CBFS

If you want to maintain a board ID, but the hardware does not have straps to automatically determine the ID, you can say Y here and add a file named 'board_id' to CBFS. If you don't know what this is about, say N.

BOARD_ID_STRING toplevel string Board ID

This string is placed in the 'board_id' CBFS file for indicating board type.

RAM_CODE_SUPPORT toplevel bool Discover RAM configuration code and store it in coreboot table

If enabled, coreboot discovers RAM configuration (value obtained by reading board straps) and stores it in coreboot table.

If unsure, select this option.

CPU_MICROCODE_CBFS_EXTERNAL cpu bool Include external microcode file

Select this option if you want to include an external file containing the CPU microcode. This will be included as a separate file in CBFS. A word of caution: only select this option if you are sure the microcode that you have is newer than the microcode shipping with coreboot.

The microcode file may be removed from the ROM image at a later time with cbfstool, if desired.

If unsure, select "Generate from tree"

CPU_MICROCODE_CBFS_NONE cpu bool Do not include microcode updates

Select this option if you do not want CPU microcode included in CBFS. Note that for some CPUs, the microcode is hard-coded into the source tree and is not loaded from CBFS. In this case, microcode will still be updated. There is a push to move all microcode to CBFS, but this change is not implemented for all CPUs.

This option currently applies to: - Intel SandyBridge/IvyBridge - VIA Nano

Microcode may be added to the ROM image at a later time with cbfstool, if desired.

If unsure, select "Generate from tree"

The GOOD: Microcode updates intend to solve issues that have been discovered after CPU production. The expected effect is that systems work as intended with the updated microcode, but we have also seen cases where issues were solved by not applying microcode updates.

The BAD: Note that some operating system include these same microcode patches, so you may need to also disable microcode updates in your operating system for this option to have an effect.

The UGLY: A word of CAUTION: some CPUs depend on microcode updates to function correctly. Not updating the microcode may leave the CPU operating at less than optimal performance, or may cause outright hangups. There are CPUs where coreboot cannot properly initialize the CPU without microcode updates For example, if running with the factory microcode, some Intel SandyBridge CPUs may hang when enabling CAR, or some VIA Nano CPUs will hang when changing the frequency.

Make sure you have a way of flashing the ROM externally before selecting this option.

BUILD_WITH_FAKE_IFD southbridge/intel/bd82x6x bool Build with a fake IFD

If you don't have an Intel Firmware Descriptor (ifd.bin) for your board, you can select this option and coreboot will build without it. Though, the resulting coreboot.rom will not contain all parts required to get coreboot running on your board. You can however write only the BIOS section to your board's flash ROM and keep the other sections untouched. Unfortunately the current version of flashrom doesn't support this yet. But there is a patch pending [1].

WARNING: Never write a complete coreboot.rom to your flash ROM if it was built with a fake IFD. It just won't work.

The romstage code caches the loaded ramstage program in SMM space. On S3 wake the romstage will copy over a fresh ramstage that was cached in the SMM space. This option determines the action to take when the ramstage cache is invalid. If selected the system will reset otherwise the ramstage will be reloaded from cbfs.

SERIRQ_CONTINUOUS_MODE soc/intel/broadwell bool

If you set this option to y, the serial IRQ machine will be operated in continuous mode.

HAVE_ME_BIN soc/intel/broadwell bool Add Intel Management Engine firmware

The Intel processor in the selected system requires a special firmware for an integrated controller called Management Engine (ME). The ME firmware might be provided in coreboot's 3rdparty repository. If not and if you don't have the firmware elsewhere, you can still build coreboot without it. In this case however, you'll have to make sure that you don't overwrite your ME firmware on your flash ROM.

BUILD_WITH_FAKE_IFD soc/intel/broadwell bool Build with a fake IFD

If you don't have an Intel Firmware Descriptor (ifd.bin) for your board, you can select this option and coreboot will build without it. Though, the resulting coreboot.rom will not contain all parts required to get coreboot running on your board. You can however write only the BIOS section to your board's flash ROM and keep the other sections untouched. Unfortunately the current version of flashrom doesn't support this yet. But there is a patch pending [1].

WARNING: Never write a complete coreboot.rom to your flash ROM if it was built with a fake IFD. It just won't work.

[1] http://www.flashrom.org/pipermail/flashrom/2013-June/011083.html

LOCK_MANAGEMENT_ENGINE soc/intel/broadwell bool Lock Management Engine section

The Intel Management Engine supports preventing write accesses from the host to the Management Engine section in the firmware descriptor. If the ME section is locked, it can only be overwritten with an external SPI flash programmer. You will want this if you want to increase security of your ROM image once you are sure that the ME firmware is no longer going to change.

If unsure, say N.

SOC_INTEL_FSP_BAYTRAIL soc/intel/fsp_baytrail bool

Bay Trail I part support using the Intel FSP.

SMM_TSEG_SIZE soc/intel/fsp_baytrail hex

This is set by the FSP

VGA_BIOS_ID soc/intel/fsp_baytrail string

This is the default PCI ID for the Bay Trail graphics devices. This string names the vbios ROM in cbfs.

CBFS_SIZE soc/intel/fsp_baytrail hex

On Bay Trail systems the firmware image has to store a lot more than just coreboot, including: - a firmware descriptor - Intel Trusted Execution Engine firmware This option specifies the maximum size of the CBFS portion in the firmware image.

INCLUDE_ME soc/intel/fsp_baytrail bool Include the TXE

Build the TXE and descriptor.bin into the ROM image. If you want to use a descriptor.bin and TXE file from the previous ROM image, you may not want to build it in here.

ME_PATH soc/intel/fsp_baytrail string Path to ME

The path of the TXE and Descriptor files.

LOCK_MANAGEMENT_ENGINE soc/intel/fsp_baytrail bool Lock TXE section

The Intel Trusted Execution Engine supports preventing write accesses from the host to the Management Engine section in the firmware descriptor. If the ME section is locked, it can only be overwritten with an external SPI flash programmer. You will want this if you want to increase security of your ROM image once you are sure that the ME firmware is no longer going to change.

If unsure, say N.

ENABLE_BUILTIN_COM1 soc/intel/fsp_baytrail bool Enable built-in legacy Serial Port

The Baytrail SOC has one legacy serial port. Choose this option to configure the pads and enable it. This serial port can be used for the debug console.

FSP_FILE soc/intel/fsp_baytrail/fsp string

The path and filename of the Intel FSP binary for this platform.

FSP_LOC soc/intel/fsp_baytrail/fsp hex

The location in CBFS that the FSP is located. This must match the value that is set in the FSP binary. If the FSP needs to be moved, rebase the FSP with Intel's BCT (tool).

The Bay Trail FSP is built with a preferred base address of 0xFFFC0000.

CBFS_SIZE soc/qualcomm/ipq806x hex Size of CBFS filesystem in ROM

CBFS size needs to match the size of memory allocated to the coreboot blob elsewhere in the system. Make sure this config option is fine tuned in the board config file.

SBL_BLOB soc/qualcomm/ipq806x string file name of the Qualcomm SBL blob

The path and filename of the binary blob containing ipq806x early initialization code, as supplied by the vendor.

(comment) Intel FSP
HAVE_FSP_BIN drivers/intel/fsp1_0 bool Use Intel Firmware Support Package

Select this option to add an Intel FSP binary to the resulting coreboot image.

Note: Without this binary, coreboot builds relying on the FSP will not boot

FSP_FILE drivers/intel/fsp1_0 string Intel FSP binary path and filename

The path and filename of the Intel FSP binary for this platform.

FSP_LOC drivers/intel/fsp1_0 hex Intel FSP Binary location in CBFS

The location in CBFS that the FSP is located. This must match the value that is set in the FSP binary. If the FSP needs to be moved, rebase the FSP with Intel's BCT (tool).

ENABLE_FSP_FAST_BOOT drivers/intel/fsp1_0 bool Enable Fast Boot

Enabling this feature will force the MRC data to be cached in NV storage to be used for speeding up boot time on future reboots and/or power cycles.

ENABLE_MRC_CACHE drivers/intel/fsp1_0 bool

Enabling this feature will cause MRC data to be cached in NV storage. This can either be used for fast boot, or just because the FSP wants it to be saved.

MRC_CACHE_SIZE drivers/intel/fsp1_0 hex Fast Boot Data Cache Size

This is the amount of space in NV storage that is reserved for the fast boot data cache storage.

WARNING: Because this area will be erased and re-written, the size should be a full sector of the flash ROM chip and nothing else should be included in CBFS in any sector that the fast boot cache data is in.

OVERRIDE_CACHE_CACHE_LOC drivers/intel/fsp1_0 bool

Selected by the platform to set a new default location for the MRC/fast boot cache.

MRC_CACHE_LOC_OVERRIDE drivers/intel/fsp1_0 hex

Sets the override CBFS location of the MRC/fast boot cache.

MRC_CACHE_LOC drivers/intel/fsp1_0 hex Fast Boot Data Cache location in CBFS

The location in CBFS for the MRC data to be cached.

WARNING: This should be on a sector boundary of the BIOS ROM chip and nothing else should be included in that sector, or IT WILL BE ERASED.

VIRTUAL_ROM_SIZE drivers/intel/fsp1_0 hex Virtual ROM Size

This is used to calculate the offset of the MRC data cache in NV Storage for fast boot. If in doubt, leave this set to the default which sets the virtual size equal to the ROM size.

Example: Cougar Canyon 2 has two 8 MB SPI ROMs. When the SPI ROMs are loaded with a 4 MB coreboot image, the virtual ROM size is 8 MB. When the SPI ROMs are loaded with an 8 MB coreboot image, the virtual ROM size is 16 MB.

CACHE_ROM_SIZE_OVERRIDE drivers/intel/fsp1_0 hex Cache ROM Size

This is the size of the cachable area that is passed into the FSP in the early initialization. Typically this should be the size of the CBFS area, but the size must be a power of 2 whereas the CBFS size does not have this limitation.

USE_GENERIC_FSP_CAR_INC drivers/intel/fsp1_0 bool

The chipset can select this to use a generic cache_as_ram.inc file that should be good for all FSP based platforms.

FSP_USES_UPD drivers/intel/fsp1_0 bool

If this FSP uses UPD/VPD data regions, select this in the chipset Kconfig.

Menu: Devices
MAINBOARD_DO_NATIVE_VGA_INIT device bool Use native graphics initialization

Some mainboards, such as the Google Link, allow initializing the display without the need of a binary only VGA OPROM. Enabling this option may be faster, but also lacks flexibility in setting modes.

If unsure, say N.

VGA_ROM_RUN device bool Run VGA Option ROMs

Execute VGA Option ROMs in coreboot if found. This is required to enable PCI/AGP/PCI-E video cards when not using a SeaBIOS payload.

When using a SeaBIOS payload it runs all option ROMs with much more complete BIOS interrupt services available than coreboot, which some option ROMs require in order to function correctly.

If unsure, say N when using SeaBIOS as payload, Y otherwise.

S3_VGA_ROM_RUN device bool Re-run VGA Option ROMs on S3 resume

Execute VGA Option ROMs in coreboot when resuming from S3 suspend.

When using a SeaBIOS payload it runs all option ROMs with much more complete BIOS interrupt services available than coreboot, which some option ROMs require in order to function correctly.

If unsure, say N when using SeaBIOS as payload, Y otherwise.

ALWAYS_LOAD_OPROM device bool

Always load option ROMs if any are found. The decision to run the ROM is still determined at runtime, but the distinction between loading and not running comes into play for CHROMEOS.

An example where this is required is that VBT (Video BIOS Tables) are needed for the kernel's display driver to know how a piece of hardware is configured to be used.

ON_DEVICE_ROM_RUN device bool Run Option ROMs on PCI devices

Execute Option ROMs stored on PCI/PCIe/AGP devices in coreboot.

If disabled, only Option ROMs stored in CBFS will be executed by coreboot. If you are concerned about security, you might want to disable this option, but it might leave your system in a state of degraded functionality.

When using a SeaBIOS payload it runs all option ROMs with much more complete BIOS interrupt services available than coreboot, which some option ROMs require in order to function correctly.

If unsure, say N when using SeaBIOS as payload, Y otherwise.

PCI_OPTION_ROM_RUN_REALMODE device bool Native mode

If you select this option, PCI Option ROMs will be executed natively on the CPU in real mode. No CPU emulation is involved, so this is the fastest, but also the least secure option. (only works on x86/x64 systems)

PCI_OPTION_ROM_RUN_YABEL device bool Secure mode

If you select this option, the x86emu CPU emulator will be used to execute PCI Option ROMs.

This option prevents Option ROMs from doing dirty tricks with the system (such as installing SMM modules or hypervisors), but it is also significantly slower than the native Option ROM initialization method.

This is the default choice for non-x86 systems.

YABEL_PCI_ACCESS_OTHER_DEVICES device bool Allow Option ROMs to access other devices

Per default, YABEL only allows Option ROMs to access the PCI device that they are associated with. However, this causes trouble for some onboard graphics chips whose Option ROM needs to reconfigure the north bridge.

YABEL_PCI_FAKE_WRITING_OTHER_DEVICES_CONFIG device bool Fake success on writing other device's config space

By default, YABEL aborts when the Option ROM tries to write to other devices' config spaces. With this option enabled, the write doesn't follow through, but the Option ROM is allowed to go on. This can create issues such as hanging Option ROMs (if it depends on that other register changing to the written value), so test for impact before using this option.

YABEL_VIRTMEM_LOCATION device hex Location of YABEL's virtual memory

YABEL requires 1MB memory for its CPU emulation. This memory is normally located at 16MB.

YABEL_DIRECTHW device bool Direct hardware access

YABEL consists of two parts: It uses x86emu for the CPU emulation and additionally provides a PC system emulation that filters bad device and memory access (such as PCI config space access to other devices than the initialized one).

When choosing this option, x86emu will pass through all hardware accesses to memory and I/O devices to the underlying memory and I/O addresses. While this option prevents Option ROMs from doing dirty tricks with the CPU (such as installing SMM modules or hypervisors), they can still access all devices in the system. Enable this option for a good compromise between security and speed.

PCIEXP_COMMON_CLOCK device bool Enable PCIe Common Clock

Detect and enable Common Clock on PCIe links.

PCIEXP_ASPM device bool Enable PCIe ASPM

Detect and enable ASPM on PCIe links.

PCIEXP_CLK_PM device bool Enable PCIe Clock Power Management

Detect and enable Clock Power Management on PCIe.

EARLY_PCI_BRIDGE device bool Early PCI bridge

While coreboot is executing code from ROM, the coreboot resource allocator has not been running yet. Hence PCI devices living behind a bridge are not yet visible to the system.

This option enables static configuration for a single pre-defined PCI bridge function on bus 0.

PCIEXP_L1_SUB_STATE device bool Enable PCIe ASPM L1 SubState

Detect and enable ASPM on PCIe links.

SUBSYSTEM_VENDOR_ID device hex Override PCI Subsystem Vendor ID

This config option will override the devicetree settings for PCI Subsystem Vendor ID.

SUBSYSTEM_DEVICE_ID device hex Override PCI Subsystem Device ID

This config option will override the devicetree settings for PCI Subsystem Device ID.

VGA_BIOS device bool Add a VGA BIOS image

Select this option if you have a VGA BIOS image that you would like to add to your ROM.

You will be able to specify the location and file name of the image later.

VGA_BIOS_FILE device string VGA BIOS path and filename

The path and filename of the file to use as VGA BIOS.

VGA_BIOS_ID device string VGA device PCI IDs

The comma-separated PCI vendor and device ID that would associate your VGA BIOS to your video card.

Example: 1106,3230

In the above example 1106 is the PCI vendor ID (in hex, but without the "0x" prefix) and 3230 specifies the PCI device ID of the video card (also in hex, without "0x" prefix).

Under GNU/Linux you can run `lspci -nn` to list the IDs of your PCI devices.

INTEL_MBI device bool Add an MBI image

Select this option if you have an Intel MBI image that you would like to add to your ROM.

You will be able to specify the location and file name of the image later.

MBI_FILE device string Intel MBI path and filename

The path and filename of the file to use as VGA BIOS.

PXE_ROM device bool Add a PXE ROM image

Select this option if you have a PXE ROM image that you would like to add to your ROM.

PXE_ROM_FILE device string PXE ROM filename

The path and filename of the file to use as PXE ROM.

PXE_ROM_ID device string network card PCI IDs

The comma-separated PCI vendor and device ID that would associate your PXE ROM to your network card.

Example: 10ec,8168

In the above example 10ec is the PCI vendor ID (in hex, but without the "0x" prefix) and 8168 specifies the PCI device ID of the network card (also in hex, without "0x" prefix).

Under GNU/Linux you can run `lspci -nn` to list the IDs of your PCI devices.

SOFTWARE_I2C device bool Enable I2C controller emulation in software

This config option will enable code to override the i2c_transfer routine with a (simple) software emulation of the protocol. This may be useful for debugging or on platforms where a driver for the real I2C controller is not (yet) available. The platform code needs to provide bindings to manually toggle I2C lines.

Menu: Display
FRAMEBUFFER_SET_VESA_MODE device bool Set framebuffer graphics resolution

Set VESA/native framebuffer mode (needed for bootsplash and graphical framebuffer console)

FRAMEBUFFER_SET_VESA_MODE device bool framebuffer graphics resolution

This option sets the resolution used for the coreboot framebuffer (and bootsplash screen).

FRAMEBUFFER_KEEP_VESA_MODE device bool Keep VESA framebuffer

This option keeps the framebuffer mode set after coreboot finishes execution. If this option is enabled, coreboot will pass a framebuffer entry in its coreboot table and the payload will need a framebuffer driver. If this option is disabled, coreboot will switch back to text mode before handing control to a payload.

BOOTSPLASH device bool Show graphical bootsplash

This option shows a graphical bootsplash screen. The graphics are loaded from the CBFS file bootsplash.jpg.

You will be able to specify the location and file name of the image later.

BOOTSPLASH_FILE device string Bootsplash path and filename

The path and filename of the file to use as graphical bootsplash screen. The file format has to be jpg.

Menu: Generic Drivers
SPI_FLASH drivers/spi bool

Select this option if your chipset driver needs to store certain data in the SPI flash.

SPI_ATOMIC_SEQUENCING drivers/spi bool

Select this option if the SPI controller uses "atomic sequencing." Atomic sequencing is when the sequence of commands is pre-programmed in the SPI controller. Hardware manages the transaction instead of software. This is common on x86 platforms.

SPI_FLASH_MEMORY_MAPPED drivers/spi bool

Inform system if SPI is memory-mapped or not.

SPI_FLASH_SMM drivers/spi bool SPI flash driver support in SMM

Select this option if you want SPI flash support in SMM.

SPI_FLASH_MACRONIX drivers/spi bool

Select this option if your chipset driver needs to store certain data in the SPI flash and your SPI flash is made by Macronix.

SPI_FLASH_SPANSION drivers/spi bool

Select this option if your chipset driver needs to store certain data in the SPI flash and your SPI flash is made by Spansion.

SPI_FLASH_SST drivers/spi bool

Select this option if your chipset driver needs to store certain data in the SPI flash and your SPI flash is made by SST.

SPI_FLASH_STMICRO drivers/spi bool

Select this option if your chipset driver needs to store certain data in the SPI flash and your SPI flash is made by ST MICRO.

SPI_FLASH_WINBOND drivers/spi bool

Select this option if your chipset driver needs to store certain data in the SPI flash and your SPI flash is made by Winbond.

SPI_FLASH_FAST_READ_DUAL_OUTPUT_3B drivers/spi bool

Select this option if your SPI flash supports the fast read dual- output command (opcode 0x3b) where the opcode and address are sent to the chip on MOSI and data is received on both MOSI and MISO.

ELOG drivers/elog bool Support for flash based event log

Enable support for flash based event logging.

ELOG_FLASH_BASE drivers/elog hex Event log offset into flash

Offset into the flash chip for the ELOG block. This should be allocated in the FMAP.

ELOG_AREA_SIZE drivers/elog hex Size of Event Log area in flash

This should be a multiple of flash block size.

Default is 4K.

ELOG_CBMEM drivers/elog bool Store a copy of ELOG in CBMEM

This option will have ELOG store a copy of the flash event log in a CBMEM region and export that address in SMBIOS to the OS. This is useful if the ELOG location is not in memory mapped flash, but it means that events added at runtime via the SMI handler will not be reflected in the CBMEM copy of the log.

ELOG_GSMI drivers/elog bool SMI interface to write and clear event log

This interface is compatible with the linux kernel driver available with CONFIG_GOOGLE_GSMI and can be used to write kernel reset/shutdown messages to the event log.

ELOG_BOOT_COUNT drivers/elog bool Maintain a monotonic boot number in CMOS

Store a monotonic boot number in CMOS and provide an interface to read the current value and increment the counter. This boot counter will be logged as part of the System Boot event.

ELOG_BOOT_COUNT_CMOS_OFFSET drivers/elog int Offset in CMOS to store the boot count

This value must be greater than 16 bytes so as not to interfere with the standard RTC region. Requires 8 bytes.

USBDEBUG drivers/usb bool USB 2.0 EHCI debug dongle support

This option allows you to use a so-called USB EHCI Debug device (such as the Ajays NET20DC, AMIDebug RX, or a system using the Linux "EHCI Debug Device gadget" driver found in recent kernel) to retrieve the coreboot debug messages (instead, or in addition to, a serial port).

This feature is NOT supported on all chipsets in coreboot!

It also requires a USB2 controller which supports the EHCI Debug Port capability.

See http://www.coreboot.org/EHCI_Debug_Port for an up-to-date list of supported controllers.

If unsure, say N.

USBDEBUG_IN_ROMSTAGE drivers/usb bool Enable early (pre-RAM) usbdebug

Configuring USB controllers in system-agent binary may cause problems to usbdebug. Disabling this option delays usbdebug to be setup on entry to ramstage.

If unsure, say Y.

USBDEBUG_HCD_INDEX drivers/usb int Index for EHCI controller to use with usbdebug

Some boards have multiple EHCI controllers with possibly only one having the Debug Port capability on an external USB port.

Mapping of this index to PCI device functions is southbridge specific and mainboard level Kconfig should already provide a working default value here.

USBDEBUG_DEFAULT_PORT drivers/usb int Default USB port to use as Debug Port

Selects which physical USB port usbdebug dongle is connected to. Setting of 0 means to scan possible ports starting from 1.

Intel platforms have hardwired the debug port location and this setting makes no difference there.

Hence, if you select the correct port here, you can speed up your boot time. Which USB port number refers to which actual port on your mainboard (potentially also USB pin headers on your mainboard) is highly board-specific, and you'll likely have to find out by trial-and-error.

USBDEBUG_DONGLE_BEAGLEBONE drivers/usb bool BeagleBone

Use this to configure the USB hub on BeagleBone board.

USBDEBUG_DONGLE_BEAGLEBONE_BLACK drivers/usb bool BeagleBone Black

Use this with BeagleBone Black.

GIC drivers/gic None

This option enables GIC support, the ARM generic interrupt controller.

DRIVERS_UART_OXPCIE drivers/uart bool Oxford OXPCIe952

Support for Oxford OXPCIe952 serial port PCIe cards. Currently only devices with the vendor ID 0x1415 and device ID 0xc158 or 0xc11b will work.

DRIVERS_PS2_KEYBOARD drivers/pc80 bool PS/2 keyboard init

Enable this option to initialize PS/2 keyboards found connected to the PS/2 port.

Some payloads (eg, filo) require this option. Other payloads (eg, GRUB 2, SeaBIOS, Linux) do not require it. Initializing a PS/2 keyboard can take several hundred milliseconds.

If you know you will only use a payload which does not require this option, then you can say N here to speed up boot time. Otherwise say Y.

LPC_TPM drivers/pc80/tpm bool

Enable this option to enable LPC TPM support in coreboot.

If unsure, say N.

TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS drivers/pc80/tpm hex TPM Base Address

This can be used to adjust the TPM memory base address. The default is specified by the TCG PC Client Specific TPM Interface Specification 1.2 and should not be changed unless the TPM being used does not conform to TPM TIS 1.2.

DRIVERS_EMULATION_QEMU_BOCHS drivers/emulation/qemu bool bochs dispi interface vga driver

VGA driver for qemu emulated vga cards supporting the bochs dispi interface. This includes standard vga, vmware svga and qxl. The default vga (cirrus) is *not* supported, so you have to pick another one explicitly via 'qemu -vga $card'.

CMOS_POST console bool Store post codes in CMOS for debugging

If enabled, coreboot will store post codes in CMOS and switch between two offsets on each boot so the last post code in the previous boot can be retrieved. This uses 3 bytes of CMOS.

CMOS_POST_OFFSET console hex Offset into CMOS to store POST codes

If CMOS_POST is enabled then an offset into CMOS must be provided. If CONFIG_HAVE_OPTION_TABLE is enabled then it will use the value defined in the mainboard option table.

CMOS_POST_EXTRA console bool Store extra logging info into CMOS

This will enable extra logging of work that happens between post codes into CMOS for debug. This uses an additional 8 bytes of CMOS.

CONSOLE_POST console bool Show POST codes on the debug console

If enabled, coreboot will additionally print POST codes (which are usually displayed using a so-called "POST card" ISA/PCI/PCI-E device) on the debug console.

POST_IO console bool Send POST codes to an IO port

If enabled, POST codes will be written to an IO port.

POST_IO_PORT console hex IO port for POST codes
