COREBOOT firmware information
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The device tree node to communicate the location of coreboot's memory-resident
|
||
|
|
bookkeeping structures to the kernel. Since coreboot itself cannot boot a
|
||
|
|
device-tree-based kernel (yet), this node needs to be inserted by a
|
||
|
|
second-stage bootloader (a coreboot "payload").
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Required properties:
|
||
|
|
- compatible: Should be "coreboot"
|
||
|
|
- reg: Address and length of the following two memory regions, in order:
|
||
|
|
1.) The coreboot table. This is a list of variable-sized descriptors
|
||
|
|
that contain various compile- and run-time generated firmware
|
||
|
|
parameters. It is identified by the magic string "LBIO" in its first
|
||
|
|
four bytes.
|
||
|
|
See coreboot's src/commonlib/include/commonlib/coreboot_tables.h for
|
||
|
|
details.
|
||
|
|
2.) The CBMEM area. This is a downward-growing memory region used by
|
||
|
|
coreboot to dynamically allocate data structures that remain resident.
|
||
|
|
It may or may not include the coreboot table as one of its members. It
|
||
|
|
is identified by a root node descriptor with the magic number
|
||
|
|
0xc0389481 that resides in the topmost 8 bytes of the area.
|
||
|
|
See coreboot's src/include/imd.h for details.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example:
|
||
|
|
firmware {
|
||
|
|
ranges;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
coreboot {
|
||
|
|
compatible = "coreboot";
|
||
|
|
reg = <0xfdfea000 0x264>,
|
||
|
|
<0xfdfea000 0x16000>;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
};
