fit: Add device tree compression This patch adds support for compressing individual device trees in the FIT image. In order to make this efficient, we'll have to pull the compatible property out of the FDT and store it directly in the config node of the FIT image, so that we don't have to scan (and therefore decompress) every single FDT on boot. Device tree compression is only supported for FIT images that have this external compatible property. For older images with no compression, we still support fallback to scanning the FDT for the property. This patch was adapted from depthcharge's http://crosreview.com/1553458 Change-Id: Ifcb6997782c480c8ef6692df17b66ad96264e623 Signed-off-by: Julius Werner <jwerner@chromium.org> Reviewed-on: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/32872 Reviewed-by: Hung-Te Lin <hungte@chromium.org> Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) <no-reply@coreboot.org>
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.
For details please consult:
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.
