The wiki is being retired!

Documentation is now handled by the same processes we use for code: Add something to the Documentation/ directory in the coreboot repo, and it will be rendered to https://doc.coreboot.org/. Contributions welcome!

Prerequisites

You need

Getting started

  • Install lcov. You will need to patch geninfo to make it work with the coreboot toolchain:

Getting code coverage information

  • Compile coreboot with CONFIG_COVERAGE enabled
  • Flash and run coreboot on the target system
  • Run cbmem on the target system to extract coverage data (see coreboot/util/cbmem/)
$ sudo ./cbmem -CV
  • Transfer the files back to your host system
  • Run lcov and genhtml on the host system
$ lcov --capture --directory $( pwd ) --output-file coreboot.info --gcov-tool i386-elf-gcov
$ genhtml coreboot.info --output-directory coreboot-coverage
  • Find your html files visualizing code coverage in coreboot-coverage
