-Chromebook Samus (2015 Pixel) instructions for bare mode:
-
-First, you need the following binary blobs:
-
-* descriptor.bin - Intel flash descriptor
-* me.bin - Intel Management Engine
-* mrc.bin - Memory Reference Code, which sets up SDRAM
-* refcode.elf - Additional Reference code
-* vga.bin - video ROM, which sets up the display
-
-If you have a samus you can obtain them from your flash, for example, in
-developer mode on the Chromebook (use Ctrl-Alt-F2 to obtain a terminal and
-log in as 'root'):
-
- cd /tmp
- flashrom -w samus.bin
- scp samus.bin username@ip_address:/path/to/somewhere
-
-If not see the coreboot tree [4] where you can use:
-
- bash crosfirmware.sh samus
-
-to get the image. There is also an 'extract_blobs.sh' scripts that you can use
-on the 'coreboot-Google_Samus.*' file to short-circuit some of the below.
-
-Then 'ifdtool -x samus.bin' on your development machine will produce:
-
- flashregion_0_flashdescriptor.bin
- flashregion_1_bios.bin
- flashregion_2_intel_me.bin
-
-Rename flashregion_0_flashdescriptor.bin to descriptor.bin
-Rename flashregion_2_intel_me.bin to me.bin
-You can ignore flashregion_1_bios.bin - it is not used.
-
-To get the rest, use 'cbfstool samus.bin print':
-
-samus.bin: 8192 kB, bootblocksize 2864, romsize 8388608, offset 0x700000
-alignment: 64 bytes, architecture: x86

-mrc.bin 0x79ffc0 (unknown) 222876
-(empty) 0x7d66c0 null 167320

-You can extract what you need:
-
- cbfstool samus.bin extract -n pci8086,0406.rom -f vga.bin
- cbfstool samus.bin extract -n fallback/refcode -f refcode.rmod
- cbfstool samus.bin extract -n mrc.bin -f mrc.bin
- cbfstool samus.bin extract -n fallback/refcode -f refcode.bin -U
-
-Note that the -U flag is only supported by the latest cbfstool. It unpacks
-and decompresses the stage to produce a coreboot rmodule. This is a simple
-representation of an ELF file. You need the patch "Support decoding a stage
-with compression".
-
-Put all 5 files into board/google/chromebook_samus.
-
-Now you can build U-Boot and obtain u-boot.rom:
-
-$ make chromebook_link_defconfig
-$ make all
-
-If you are using em100, then this command will flash write -Boot:
-
- em100 -s -d filename.rom -c W25Q64CV -r
-
-Flash map for samus / broadwell:
-
- fffff800 SYS_X86_START16
- ffff0000 RESET_SEG_START
- fffd8000 TPL_TEXT_BASE
- fffa0000 X86_MRC_ADDR
- fff90000 VGA_BIOS_ADDR
- ffed0000 SYS_TEXT_BASE
- ffea0000 X86_REFCODE_ADDR
- ffe70000 SPL_TEXT_BASE
- ffbf8000 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET (environemnt offset)
- ffbe0000 rw-mrc-cache (Memory-reference-code cache)
- ffa00000 <spare>
- ff801000 intel-me (address set by descriptor.bin)
- ff800000 intel-descriptor
