SMBIOS/SCONFIG: Allow devtree-defined Type 41 entries Introduce the `smbios_dev_info` devicetree keyword to specify the instance ID and RefDes (Reference Designation) of onboard devices. Example syntax: device pci 1c.0 on # PCIe Port #1 device pci 00.0 on smbios_dev_info 6 end end device pci 1c.1 on # PCIe Port #2 device pci 00.0 on smbios_dev_info 42 "PCIe-PCI Time Machine" end end The `SMBIOS_TYPE41_PROVIDED_BY_DEVTREE` Kconfig option enables using this syntax to control the generated Type 41 entries. When this option is enabled, Type 41 entries are only autogenerated for devices with a defined instance ID. This avoids having to keep track of which instance IDs have been used for every device class. Using `smbios_dev_info` when `SMBIOS_TYPE41_PROVIDED_BY_DEVTREE` is not enabled will result in a build-time error, as the syntax is meaningless in this case. This is done with preprocessor guards around the Type 41 members in `struct device` and the code which uses the guarded members. Although the preprocessor usage isn't particularly elegant, adjusting the devicetree syntax and/or grammar depending on a Kconfig option is probably even worse.

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload.
With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required.
coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.
After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.
See https://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.
coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

ANY_TOOLCHAIN
Kconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case).Optional:
make menuconfig
and make nconfig
)Please consult https://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.
If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU.
Please see https://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.
