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

Last update: 4.6-529-gf3ed7c1a34

Option Source Format Short Description Description
Menu: General setup
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.

CBFS_PREFIX toplevel string Compiler to use

This option allows you to select the compiler used for building coreboot. You must build the coreboot crosscompiler for the board that you have selected.

To build all the GCC crosscompilers (takes a LONG time), run: make crossgcc

For help on individual architectures, run the command: make help_toolchain

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 (TESTING ONLY - Not currently working)

Use LLVM/clang to build coreboot. To use this, you must build the coreboot version of the clang compiler. Run the command make clang Note that this option is not currently working correctly and should really only be selected if you're trying to work on getting clang operational.

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.

FMD_GENPARSER toplevel bool Generate flashmap descriptor parser using flex and bison

Enable this option if you are working on the flashmap descriptor parser and made changes to fmd_scanner.l or fmd_parser.y.

Otherwise, say N to use the provided pregenerated scanner/parser.

UTIL_GENPARSER toplevel bool Generate SCONFIG & BLOBTOOL parser using flex and bison

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

Otherwise, say N to use the provided pregenerated scanner/parser.

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).

COMPRESS_PRERAM_STAGES toplevel bool Compress romstage and verstage with LZ4

Compress romstage and (if it exists) verstage with LZ4 to save flash space and speed up boot, since the time for reading the image from SPI (and in the vboot case verifying it) is usually much greater than the time spent decompressing. Doesn't work for XIP stages (assume all ARCH_X86 for now) for obvious reasons.

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.

UBSAN toplevel bool Undefined behavior sanitizer support

Instrument the code with checks for undefined behavior. If unsure, say N because it adds a small performance penalty and may abort on code that happens to work in spite of the UB.

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

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

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.

If unsure, select '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

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

BOOTSPLASH_IMAGE toplevel bool Add a bootsplash image

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

This will only add the image to the ROM. To actually run it check options under 'Display' section.

BOOTSPLASH_FILE toplevel 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.

ENABLE_POWER_BUTTON mainboard bool Enable the power button

The selected mainboard can optionally have the power button tied to ground with a jumper so that the button appears to be constantly depressed. If this option is enabled and the jumper is installed then the board will turn on, but turn off again after a short timeout, usually 4 seconds.

Select Y here if you have removed the jumper and want to use an actual power button. Select N if you have the jumper installed.

DEVICETREE toplevel string

This symbol allows mainboards to select a different file under their mainboard directory for the devicetree.cb file. This allows the board variants that need different devicetrees to be in the same directory.

Examples: "devicetree.variant.cb" "variant/devicetree.cb"

CBFS_SIZE toplevel hex Size of CBFS filesystem in ROM

This is the part of the ROM actually managed by CBFS, located at the end of the ROM (passed through cbfstool -o) on x86 and at at the start of the ROM (passed through cbfstool -s) everywhere else. It defaults to span the whole ROM on all but Intel systems that use an Intel Firmware Descriptor. It can be overridden to make coreboot live alongside other components like ChromeOS's vboot/FMAP or Intel's IFD / ME / TXE binaries.

FMDFILE toplevel string fmap description file in fmd format

The build system creates a default FMAP from ROM_SIZE and CBFS_SIZE, but in some cases more complex setups are required. When an fmd is specified, it overrides the default format.

MAINBOARD_HAS_TPM2 toplevel bool

There is a TPM device installed on the mainboard, and it is compliant with version 2 TCG TPM specification. Could be connected over LPC, SPI or I2C.

CBFS_AUTOGEN_ATTRIBUTES toplevel bool

If this option is selected, every file in cbfs which has a constraint regarding position or alignment will get an additional file attribute which describes this constraint.

FORCE_AM1_SOCKET_SUPPORT cpu/amd/agesa/family16kb bool

Force AGESA to ignore package type mismatch between CPU and northbridge in memory code. This enables Socket AM1 support with current AGESA version for Kabini platform. Enable this option only if you have Socket AM1 board. Note that the AGESA release shipped with coreboot does not officially support the AM1 socket. Selecting this option might damage your hardware.

XIP_ROM_SIZE cpu/amd/pi hex

Overwride the default write through caching size as 1M Bytes. On some AMD platforms, one socket supports 2 or more kinds of processor family, compiling several CPU families agesa code will increase the romstage size. In order to execute romstage in place on the flash ROM, more space is required to be set as write through caching.

PARALLEL_MP cpu/x86 bool

This option uses common MP infrastructure for bringing up APs in parallel. It additionally provides a more flexible mechanism for sequencing the steps of bringing up the APs.

PARALLEL_MP_AP_WORK cpu/x86 bool

Allow APs to do other work after initialization instead of going to sleep.

LAPIC_MONOTONIC_TIMER cpu/x86 bool

Expose monotonic time using the local APIC.

TSC_MONOTONIC_TIMER cpu/x86 bool

Expose monotonic time using the TSC.

TSC_SYNC_LFENCE cpu/x86 bool

The CPU driver should select this if the CPU needs to execute an lfence instruction in order to synchronize rdtsc. This is true for all modern AMD CPUs.

TSC_SYNC_MFENCE cpu/x86 bool

The CPU driver should select this if the CPU needs to execute an mfence instruction in order to synchronize rdtsc. This is true for all modern Intel CPUs.

NO_FIXED_XIP_ROM_SIZE cpu/x86 bool

The XIP_ROM_SIZE Kconfig variable is used globally on x86 with the assumption that all chipsets utilize this value. For the chipsets which do not use the variable it can lead to unnecessary alignment constraints in cbfs for romstage. Therefore, allow those chipsets a path to not be burdened.

SMM_MODULE_HEAP_SIZE cpu/x86 hex

This option determines the size of the heap within the SMM handler modules.

SERIALIZED_SMM_INITIALIZATION cpu/x86 bool

On some CPUs, there is a race condition in SMM. This can occur when both hyperthreads change SMM state variables in parallel without coordination. Setting this option serializes the SMM initialization to avoid an ugly hang in the boot process at the cost of a slightly longer boot time.

X86_AMD_FIXED_MTRRS cpu/x86 bool

This option informs the MTRR code to use the RdMem and WrMem fields in the fixed MTRR MSRs.

PLATFORM_USES_FSP1_0 cpu/x86 bool

Selected for Intel processors/platform combinations that use the Intel Firmware Support Package (FSP) 1.0 for initialization.

MIRROR_PAYLOAD_TO_RAM_BEFORE_LOADING cpu/x86 bool

On certain platforms a boot speed gain can be realized if mirroring the payload data stored in non-volatile storage. On x86 systems the payload would typically live in a memory-mapped SPI part. Copying the SPI contents to RAM before performing the load can speed up the boot process.

SOC_SETS_MSRS cpu/x86 bool

The SoC requires different access methods for reading and writing the MSRs. Use SoC specific routines to handle the MSR access.

NO_CAR_GLOBAL_MIGRATION cpu bool

This option is selected if there is no need to migrate CAR globals. All stages which use CAR globals can directly access the variables from their linked addresses.

SMP cpu bool

This option is used to enable certain functions to make coreboot work correctly on symmetric multi processor (SMP) systems.

AP_SIPI_VECTOR cpu hex

This must equal address of ap_sipi_vector from bootblock build.

MMX cpu bool

Select MMX in your socket or model Kconfig if your CPU has MMX streaming SIMD instructions. ROMCC can build more efficient code if it can spill to MMX registers.

SSE cpu bool

Select SSE in your socket or model Kconfig if your CPU has SSE streaming SIMD instructions. ROMCC can build more efficient code if it can spill to SSE (aka XMM) registers.

SSE2 cpu bool

Select SSE2 in your socket or model Kconfig if your CPU has SSE2 streaming SIMD instructions. Some parts of coreboot can be built with more efficient code if SSE2 instructions are available.

USES_MICROCODE_HEADER_FILES cpu bool

This is selected by a board or chipset to set the default for the microcode source choice to a list of external microcode headers

CPU_MICROCODE_CBFS_GENERATE cpu bool Generate from tree

Select this option if you want microcode updates to be assembled when building coreboot and included in the final image as a separate CBFS file. Microcode will not be hard-coded into ramstage.

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

If unsure, select this option.

CPU_MICROCODE_CBFS_EXTERNAL_HEADER cpu bool Include external microcode header files

Select this option if you want to include external c header files 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.

CPU_MICROCODE_MULTIPLE_FILES cpu bool

Select this option to install separate microcode container files into CBFS instead of using the traditional monolithic microcode file format.

CPU_MICROCODE_HEADER_FILES cpu string List of space separated microcode header files with the path

A list of one or more microcode header files with path from the coreboot directory. These should be separated by spaces.

CPU_UCODE_BINARIES cpu string Microcode binary path and filename

Some platforms have microcode in the blobs directory, and these can be hardcoded in the makefiles. For platforms with microcode binaries that aren't in the makefile, set this option to pull in the microcode.

This should contain the full path of the file for one or more microcode binary files to include, separated by spaces.

If unsure, leave this blank.

(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_FMAP drivers/intel/fsp1_0 bool Use MRC Cache in FMAP

Use the region "RW_MRC_CACHE" in FMAP instead of "mrc.cache" in CBFS. You must define a region in your FMAP named "RW_MRC_CACHE".

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.

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.

EM100 southbridge/intel/common/firmware bool Configure IFD for EM100 usage

Set SPI frequency to 20MHz and disable Dual Output Fast Read Support

HAVE_ME_BIN southbridge/intel/common/firmware bool Add Intel ME/TXE firmware

The Intel processor in the selected system requires a special firmware for an integrated controller. This might be called the Management Engine (ME), the Trusted Execution Engine (TXE) or something else depending on the chip. This firmware might or might not be available in coreboot's 3rdparty/blobs repository. If it is not and if you don't have access to the firmware from 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/TXE firmware on your flash ROM.

CHECK_ME southbridge/intel/common/firmware bool Verify the integrity of the supplied ME/TXE firmware

Verify the integrity of the supplied Intel ME/TXE firmware before proceeding with the build, in order to prevent an accidental loading of a corrupted ME/TXE image.

USE_ME_CLEANER southbridge/intel/common/firmware bool Strip down the Intel ME/TXE firmware

Use me_cleaner to remove all the non-fundamental code from the Intel ME/TXE firmware. The resulting Intel ME/TXE firmware will have only the code responsible for the very basic hardware initialization, leaving the ME/TXE subsystem essentially in a disabled state.

Don't flash a modified ME/TXE firmware and a new coreboot image at the same time, test them in two different steps.

WARNING: this tool isn't based on any official Intel documentation but only on reverse engineering and trial & error.

HAVE_EC_BIN southbridge/intel/common/firmware bool Add EC firmware

The embedded controller needs a firmware file.

Select this if you are going to use the PCH integrated controller and have the EC firmware. EC firmware will be added to final image through ifdtool.

BUILD_WITH_FAKE_IFD southbridge/intel/common/firmware bool Build with a fake IFD

If you don't have an Intel Firmware Descriptor (descriptor.bin) for your board, you can select this option and coreboot will build without it. 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

IFD_BIOS_SECTION southbridge/intel/common/firmware string BIOS Region Starting:Ending addresses within the ROM

The BIOS region is typically the size of the CBFS area, and is located at the end of the ROM space.

For an 8MB ROM with a 3MB CBFS area, this would look like: 0x00500000:0x007fffff

IFD_ME_SECTION southbridge/intel/common/firmware string ME/TXE Region Starting:Ending addresses within the ROM

The ME/TXE region typically starts at around 0x1000 and often fills the ROM space not used by CBFS.

For an 8MB ROM with a 3MB CBFS area, this might look like: 0x00001000:0x004fffff

IFD_GBE_SECTION southbridge/intel/common/firmware string GBE Region Starting:Ending addresses within the ROM

The Gigabit Ethernet ROM region is used when an Intel NIC is built into the Southbridge/SOC and the platform uses this device instead of an external PCIe NIC. It will be located between the ME/TXE and the BIOS region.

Leave this empty if you're unsure.

IFD_PLATFORM_SECTION southbridge/intel/common/firmware string Platform Region Starting:Ending addresses within the Rom

The Platform region is used for platform specific data. It will be located between the ME/TXE and the BIOS region.

Leave this empty if you're unsure.

LOCK_MANAGEMENT_ENGINE southbridge/intel/common/firmware bool Lock ME/TXE section

The Intel Firmware Descriptor supports preventing write accesses from the host to the ME or TXE section in the firmware descriptor. If the 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/TXE firmware is no longer going to change.

If unsure, say N.

CBFS_SIZE southbridge/intel/common/firmware hex

Reduce CBFS size to give room to the IFD blobs.

Menu: Verified Boot (vboot)
VBOOT vboot bool Verify firmware with vboot.

Enabling VBOOT will use vboot to verify the components of the firmware (stages, payload, etc).

VBOOT_VBNV_CMOS vboot bool

VBNV is stored in CMOS

VBOOT_VBNV_OFFSET vboot hex

CMOS offset for VbNv data. This value must match cmos.layout in the mainboard directory, minus 14 bytes for the RTC.

VBOOT_VBNV_CMOS_BACKUP_TO_FLASH vboot bool

Vboot non-volatile storage data will be backed up from CMOS to flash and restored from flash if the CMOS is invalid due to power loss.

VBOOT_VBNV_EC vboot bool

VBNV is stored in EC

VBOOT_VBNV_FLASH vboot bool

VBNV is stored in flash storage

VBOOT_STARTS_IN_BOOTBLOCK vboot bool

Firmware verification happens during the end of or right after the bootblock. This implies that a static VBOOT2_WORK() buffer must be allocated in memlayout.

VBOOT_STARTS_IN_ROMSTAGE vboot bool

Firmware verification happens during the end of romstage (after memory initialization). This implies that vboot working data is allocated in CBMEM.

VBOOT_MOCK_SECDATA vboot bool Mock secdata for firmware verification

Enabling VBOOT_MOCK_SECDATA will mock secdata for the firmware verification to avoid access to a secdata storage (typically TPM). All operations for a secdata storage will be successful. This option can be used during development when a TPM is not present or broken. THIS SHOULD NOT BE LEFT ON FOR PRODUCTION DEVICES.

VBOOT_DISABLE_DEV_ON_RECOVERY vboot bool

When this option is enabled, the Chrome OS device leaves the developer mode as soon as recovery request is detected. This is handy on embedded devices with limited input capabilities.

VBOOT_SEPARATE_VERSTAGE vboot bool

If this option is set, vboot verification runs in a standalone stage that is loaded from the bootblock and exits into romstage. If it is not set, the verification code is linked directly into the bootblock or the romstage and runs as part of that stage (cf. related options VBOOT_STARTS_IN_BOOTBLOCK/_ROMSTAGE and VBOOT_RETURN_FROM_VERSTAGE).

VBOOT_RETURN_FROM_VERSTAGE vboot bool

If this is set, the verstage returns back to the calling stage instead of exiting to the succeeding stage so that the verstage space can be reused by the succeeding stage. This is useful if a RAM space is too small to fit both the verstage and the succeeding stage.

VBOOT_SAVE_RECOVERY_REASON_ON_REBOOT vboot bool

This option ensures that the recovery request is not lost because of reboots caused after vboot verification is run. e.g. reboots caused by FSP components on Intel platforms.

VBOOT_OPROM_MATTERS vboot bool

Set this option to indicate to vboot that this platform will skip its display initialization on a normal (non-recovery, non-developer) boot. Vboot calls this "oprom matters" because on x86 devices this traditionally meant that the video option ROM will not be loaded, but it works functionally the same for other platforms that can skip their native display initialization code instead.

VBOOT_HAS_REC_HASH_SPACE vboot bool

Set this option to indicate to vboot that recovery data hash space is present in TPM.

VBOOT_EC_SOFTWARE_SYNC vboot bool Enable EC software sync

EC software sync is a mechanism where the AP helps the EC verify its firmware similar to how vboot verifies the main system firmware. This option selects whether vboot should support EC software sync.

VBOOT_EC_SLOW_UPDATE vboot bool

Whether the EC (or PD) is slow to update and needs to display a screen that informs the user the update is happening.

VBOOT_PHYSICAL_DEV_SWITCH vboot bool

Whether this platform has a physical developer switch. Note that this disables virtual dev switch functionality (through secdata). Operation where both a physical pin and the virtual switch get sampled is not supported by coreboot.

VBOOT_PHYSICAL_REC_SWITCH vboot bool

Whether this platform has a physical recovery switch.

VBOOT_LID_SWITCH vboot bool

Whether this platform has a lid switch. If it does, vboot will not decrement try counters for boot failures if the lid is closed.

VBOOT_WIPEOUT_SUPPORTED vboot bool

When this option is enabled, the firmware provides the ability to signal the application the need for factory reset (a.k.a. wipe out) of the device

VBOOT_FWID_MODEL vboot string Firmware ID model

This is the first part of the FWID written to various regions of a vboot firmware image to identify its version.

VBOOT_FWID_VERSION vboot string Firmware ID version

This is the second part of the FWID written to various regions of a vboot firmware image to identify its version.

Menu: AMD Platform Initialization
None vendorcode/amd None AGESA source

Select the method for including the AMD Platform Initialization code into coreboot. Platform Initialization code is required for all AMD processors.

CPU_AMD_AGESA_BINARY_PI vendorcode/amd bool binary PI

Use a binary PI package. Generally, these will be stored in the "3rdparty/blobs" directory. For some processors, these must be obtained directly from AMD Embedded Processors Group (http://www.amdcom/embedded).

CPU_AMD_AGESA_OPENSOURCE vendorcode/amd bool open-source AGESA

Build the PI package ("AGESA") from source code in the "vendorcode" directory.

AGESA_BINARY_PI_VENDORCODE_PATH vendorcode/amd/pi string AGESA PI directory path

Specify where to find the AGESA header files for AMD platform initialization.

AGESA_BINARY_PI_FILE vendorcode/amd/pi string AGESA PI binary file name

Specify the binary file to use for AMD platform initialization.

AGESA_BINARY_PI_LOCATION vendorcode/amd/pi hex AGESA PI binary address in ROM

Specify the ROM address at which to store the binary Platform Initialization code.

Menu: ChromeOS
CHROMEOS vendorcode/google/chromeos bool Build for ChromeOS

Enable ChromeOS specific features like the GPIO sub table in the coreboot table. NOTE: Enabling this option on an unsupported board will most likely break your build.

NO_TPM_RESUME vendorcode/google/chromeos bool

On some boards the TPM stays powered up in S3. On those boards, booting Windows will break if the TPM resume command is sent during an S3 resume.

HAVE_REGULATORY_DOMAIN vendorcode/google/chromeos bool Add regulatory domain methods

This option is needed to add ACPI regulatory domain methods

CHROMEOS_DISABLE_PLATFORM_HIERARCHY_ON_RESUME vendorcode/google/chromeos bool

Disable the platform heirarchy on resume path if the firmware is involved in resume. The hierarchy is disabled prior to jumping to the OS. Note that this option is sepcific to TPM2 boards. This option is auto selected if CHROMEOS because it matches with vboot_reference model which disables the platform hierarchy in the boot loader. However, those operations need to be symmetric on normal boot as well as resume and coreboot is only involved in the resume piece w.r.t. the platform hierarchy.

GOOGLE_SMBIOS_MAINBOARD_VERSION vendorcode/google bool

Provide a common implementation for mainboard version, which returns a formatted 'rev%d' board_id() string.

ARM64_SECURE_OS_FILE arch/arm64 string Secure OS binary file

Secure OS binary file.

ARM64_A53_ERRATUM_843419 arch/arm64 bool

Some early Cortex-A53 revisions had a hardware bug that results in incorrect address calculations in rare cases. This option enables a linker workaround to avoid those cases if your toolchain supports it. Should be selected automatically by SoCs that are affected.

USE_MARCH_586 arch/x86 bool

Allow a platform or processor to select to be compiled using the '-march=i586' option instead of the typical '-march=i686'

CBMEM_TOP_BACKUP arch/x86 bool

Platform implements non-volatile storage to cache cbmem_top() over stage transitions and optionally also over S3 suspend.

LATE_CBMEM_INIT arch/x86 bool

Enable this in chipset's Kconfig if northbridge does not implement early get_top_of_ram() call for romstage. CBMEM tables will be allocated late in ramstage, after PCI devices resources are known.

PRERAM_CBMEM_CONSOLE_SIZE arch/x86 hex

Increase this value if preram cbmem console is getting truncated

BOOTBLOCK_DEBUG_SPINLOOP arch/x86 bool

Add a spin (JMP .) in bootblock_crt0.S during early bootblock to wait for a JTAG debugger to break into the execution sequence.

BOOTBLOCK_SAVE_BIST_AND_TIMESTAMP arch/x86 bool

Select this value to provide a routine to save the BIST and timestamp values. The default code places the BIST value in MM0 and the timestamp value in MM2:MM1. Another file is necessary when the CPU does not support the MMx register set.

VERSTAGE_DEBUG_SPINLOOP arch/x86 bool

Add a spin (JMP .) in assembly_entry.S during early verstage to wait for a JTAG debugger to break into the execution sequence.

ROMSTAGE_DEBUG_SPINLOOP arch/x86 bool

Add a spin (JMP .) in assembly_entry.S during early romstage to wait for a JTAG debugger to break into the execution sequence.

SKIP_MAX_REBOOT_CNT_CLEAR arch/x86 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. Note that it is the responsibility of the payload to reset the normal boot bit to 1 after each successsful boot.

Menu: Devices
HAVE_VGA_TEXT_FRAMEBUFFER device bool

Selected by graphics drivers that support legacy VGA text mode.

HAVE_VBE_LINEAR_FRAMEBUFFER device bool

Selected by graphics drivers that can set up a VBE linear-framebuffer mode.

HAVE_LINEAR_FRAMEBUFFER device bool

Selected by graphics drivers that can set up a generic linear framebuffer.

HAVE_FSP_GOP device bool

Selected by drivers that support to run a blob that implements the Graphics Output Protocol (GOP).

MAINBOARD_HAS_NATIVE_VGA_INIT device bool

Selected by mainboards / drivers that provide native graphics init within coreboot.

MAINBOARD_FORCE_NATIVE_VGA_INIT device bool

Selected by mainboards / chipsets whose graphics driver can't or shouldn't be disabled.

MAINBOARD_HAS_LIBGFXINIT device bool

Selected by mainboards that implement support for `libgfxinit`. Usually this requires a list of ports to be probed for displays.

MAINBOARD_DO_NATIVE_VGA_INIT device bool Use native graphics init

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.

MAINBOARD_USE_LIBGFXINIT device bool Use libgfxinit

Use the SPARK library `libgfxinit` for the native graphics initialization. This requires an Ada toolchain.

RUN_FSP_GOP device bool Run a GOP driver

Some platforms (e.g. Intel Braswell and Skylake/Kaby Lake) support to run a GOP blob. This option enables graphics initialization with such a blob.

VGA_ROM_RUN device bool Run VGA Option ROMs

Execute VGA Option ROMs in coreboot if found. This can be used 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.

NO_GFX_INIT device bool None

Select this to not perform any graphics initialization in coreboot. This is useful if the payload (e.g. SeaBIOS) can initialize graphics or if pre-boot graphics are not required.

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_LOAD device bool Load Option ROMs on PCI devices

Load Option ROMs stored on PCI/PCIe/AGP VGA 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.

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).

BOOTSPLASH device bool Show graphical bootsplash

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

You can either specify the location and file name of the image in the 'General' section or add it manually to CBFS, using, for example, cbfstool.

VGA_TEXT_FRAMEBUFFER device bool Legacy VGA text mode

If this option is enabled, coreboot will initialize graphics in legacy VGA text mode or, if a VGA BIOS is used and a VESA mode set, switch to text mode before handing control to a payload.

VBE_LINEAR_FRAMEBUFFER device bool 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 compatible driver.

GENERIC_LINEAR_FRAMEBUFFER device bool Linear \"high-resolution\" framebuffer

This option enables a high-resolution, linear framebuffer. If this option is enabled, coreboot will pass a framebuffer entry in its coreboot table and the payload will need a compatible driver.

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 (Active State Power Management) on PCIe links.

PCIEXP_CLK_PM device bool Enable PCIe Clock Power Management

Detect and enable Clock Power Management on PCIe.

PCIEXP_L1_SUB_STATE device bool Enable PCIe ASPM L1 SubState

Detect and enable ASPM on PCIe links.

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.

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.

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.

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.

  1. Use "select HAVE_USBDEBUG" on southbridges which have Debug Port code.
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 https://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 FT232H usb-to-uart. Configuration is hard-coded to use 8n1, no flow control.

USBDEBUG_DONGLE_FTDI_FT232H_BAUD drivers/usb int FTDI FT232H baud rate

Select baud rate for FT232H in the range 733..12,000,000. Make sure that your receiving side supports the same setting and your connection works with it. Multiples of 115,200 seem to be a good choice, and EHCI debug usually can't saturate more than 576,000.

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.

Enable this to have CBMEM console buffer contents dumped on the serial output in case serial console is disabled and the device resets itself while trying to boot the payload.

CONSOLE_SPI_FLASH console bool SPI Flash console output

Send coreboot debug output to the SPI Flash in the FMAP CONSOLE area

This option can cause premature wear on the SPI flash and should not be used as a normal means of debugging. It is only to be enabled and used when porting a new motherboard which has no other console available (no UART, no POST, no cbmem access(non bootable)). Since a non bootable machine will require the use of an external SPI Flash programmer, the developer can grab the console log at the same time.

The flash console will not be erased on reboot, so once it is full, the flashconsole driver will stop writing to it. This is to avoid wear on the flash, and to avoid erasing sectors (which may freeze the SPI controller on skylake).

The 'CONSOLE' area can be extracted from the FMAP with : cbfstool rom.bin read -r CONSOLE -f console.log

CONSOLE_SPI_FLASH_BUFFER_SIZE console hex Room allocated for console output in FMAP

Space allocated for console output storage in FMAP. The default value (128K or 0x20000 bytes) is large enough to accommodate even the BIOS_SPEW level.

Map the log level config names to an integer.

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

POST codes on x86 are typically written to the LPC bus on port 0x80. However, it may be desirable to change the port number depending on the presence of coprocessors/microcontrollers or if the platform does not support IO in the conventional x86 manner.

NO_EARLY_BOOTBLOCK_POSTCODES console hex

Some chipsets require that the routing for the port 80h POST code be configured before any POST codes are sent out.
