Building coreboot

$ svn co svn://coreboot.org/repos/trunk/coreboot-v2
$ cd coreboot-v2/targets
$ ./buildtarget mitac/6513wu
$ cd mitac/6513wu/6513wu

Now copy your desired payload into the current directory and name it payload.elf. Then:

$ make

Finally, prepend the VGA BIOS image (32 KB) to get your final coreboot image:

$ cat vga.bin coreboot.rom > coreboot_final.rom

(replace vga.bin with the file name of your VGA BIOS image)

You can now flash the resulting coreboot_final.rom on a ROM chip using Flashrom.
