To be able to boot a disk image, passed to QEMU with `-hda
/path/qemu.img`, the appropriate modules are needed. Strange, `libata`
is not enough, and the drive is only detected, when the module `ahci` is
loaded.
> ata1.00: ATA-7: QEMU HARDDISK, 2.5+, max UDMA/100
Tested with QEMU emulator version 2.11.1(Debian 1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7)
with the command below,
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -M q35 -m 1G -bios \
qemu-coreboot/coreboot.rom -serial stdio -L /dev/shm -hda \
/dev/shm/qemu-debian.img
where `qemu-debian.img` is created with grml-debootstrap.
grml-debootstrap --vmfile --vmsize 3G --target \
/dev/shm/qemu-debian.img -r sid
Since fbwhiptail allows us to customize the background colors, we should
colorize warnings and error messages to provide a user with an
additional subtle cue that there might be a problem. I have added two
additional configuration options:
CONFIG_WARNING_BG_COLOR
CONFIG_ERROR_BG_COLOR
and in the librem13v2.config file you can see an example for how to set
them to be yellow and red gradients, respectively. I've also updated the
main two scripts that use whiptail to include those background colors.
If you decide to use regular whiptail, just don't set these config
options and it should behave as expected.
By enabling Pass-through iommu, it fixes the GPU glitching issues
we've had with IOMMU, and it also allows us to boot a target kernel
without having to give it intel_iommu=igfx_off as argument.
This modifies the segment at 0x0 so that it contains enough of a fake
Extended BIOS Data Area at addresses 0x40e and 0x413 that Xen can
correctly locate its trampoline code.
Since custom Xen is no longer required, we can remove the module,
the patches and all of the references to it in the board definition
files.
Guarded linuxboot specific init entries
Removed Makefile entries into separate file (conflicts with srcing /etc/config)
Added CONFIG_BOOT_LOCAL/_REMOTE to control interface setup
Fixed CONFIG_TPM usage
if "CONFIG_TPM=y" is not present in the config file, functionalities
needing TPM could be disabled, while leaving other functionalities intact.
This will make Heads a more general-usage bootloader payload atop coreboot.

This adds a `CONFIG_UROOT=y` option to allow the busybox
runtime to be replaced with the go u-root runtime.
You must have go 1.9 or newer for it to work.
It has been tested on the OCP winterfell and qemu nodes,
and it can be specified on the build command line as well.
Nothing from `heads/initrd` or any of the tools will be
linked into the cpio file. Only the kernel modules and the
go shell will be included.
Move board configuration into `boards/` instead of `config/`
Fix mistake in building kernel module tree before kernel was done.
Allow per-board initrd builds (#278)
Allow per-board configurations for things (#304)
