 Before building coreboot for the RCA RM4100 there are a few settings to consider. Depending on whether you want VGA support or not, you might have to modify some files.
-=== Headless (no VGA) ===
+See [[VGA support]] for information on how to add support for the onboard VGA controller.
-−
-You have the ability to build a "headless" version of coreboot that will only output to the serial console:
-−
-Edit '''targets/thomson/ip1000/Config.lb''' and change:
-−
- # option ROM_SIZE = 1024 * 1024
- option ROM_SIZE = (1024 * 1024) - (64 * 1024)
-to
- option ROM_SIZE = 1024 * 1024
- # option ROM_SIZE = (1024 * 1024) - (64 * 1024)
-−
-Also, change:
- option CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA = 1
- option CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN = 1
-to
- option CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA = 0
- option CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN = 0
-−
-Change
- option CONFIG_VIDEO_MB = 8
-to
- option CONFIG_VIDEO_MB = 0
-−
-=== VGA ===
-−
-If you do want VGA you can choose how much memory is pre-allocated for VGA. Note: You can still use the serial console when VGA is enabled. Possible options are:
-−
- ## 0 for No memory pre-allocated (Graphics memory Disabled)
- ## 512 for DVMT (UMA) mode, 512K of memory pre-allocated for frame buffer
- ## 1 for DVMT (UMA) mode, 1M of memory pre-allocated for frame buffer
- ## 8 for DVMT (UMA) mode, 8M of memory pre-allocated for frame buffer
-−
-To adjust this edit '''targets/thomson/ip1000/Config.lb''', edit the line
- CONFIG_VIDEO_MB =
-and change it to any of the options above. Note: Remember that if you do want VGA you will need the VGA BIOS file ('''vga.rom''').
