SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ +.. sectionauthor:: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com> + +Crown Bay CRB +============= + +U-Boot support of Intel `Crown Bay`_ board relies on a binary blob called +Firmware Support Package (`FSP`_) to perform all the necessary initialization +steps as documented in the BIOS Writer Guide, including initialization of the +CPU, memory controller, chipset and certain bus interfaces. + +Download the Intel FSP for Atom E6xx series and Platform Controller Hub EG20T, +install it on your host and locate the FSP binary blob. Note this platform +also requires a Chipset Micro Code (CMC) state machine binary to be present in +the SPI flash where u-boot.rom resides, and this CMC binary blob can be found +in this FSP package too. + + * ./FSP/QUEENSBAY_FSP_GOLD_001_20-DECEMBER-2013.fd + * ./Microcode/C0_22211.BIN + +Rename the first one to fsp.bin and second one to cmc.bin and put them in the +board directory. + +Note the FSP release version 001 has a bug which could cause random endless +loop during the FspInit call. This bug was published by Intel although Intel +did not describe any details. We need manually apply the patch to the FSP +binary using any hex editor (eg: bvi). Go to the offset 0x1fcd8 of the FSP +binary, change the following five bytes values from orginally E8 42 FF FF FF +to B8 00 80 0B 00. + +As for the video ROM, you need manually extract it from the Intel provided +BIOS for Crown Bay `here`_, using the AMI `MMTool`_. Check PCI option +ROM ID 8086:4108, extract and save it as vga.bin in the board directory. + +Now you can build U-Boot and obtain u-boot.rom:: + + $ make crownbay_defconfig + $ make all + +.. _`Crown Bay`: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/embedded/design-tools/evaluation-platforms/atom-e660-eg20t-development-kit.html +.. _`FSP`: http://www.intel.com/fsp +.. _`here`: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/secure/intelligent-systems/privileged/e6xx-35-b1-cmc22211.html +.. _`MMTool`: http://www.ami.com/products/bios-uefi-tools-and-utilities/bios-uefi-utilities/ |
