All images consist ROMCC images are so-called because C code for the ROM part is compiled with romcc. romcc is an optimizing C compiler which compiles one, and only one file; to get more than one file, one must include the C code via include statements. The main ROM code .c file is usually called auto.c. \subsubsection{How it is built} -Romcc compiles auto.c to produce auto.inc. auto.inc is included in the main crt0.S, which is then preprocessed to produce crt0.s.

We can see As we mentioned, the ROM file consists of multiple images. In the basic file, there are two full coreboot rom images. The build sequence for each is the same, and in fact the ldscript.ld files are almost identical. The only difference is in a few makefile variables, generated by the config tool. \begin{itemize} -\item PAYLOAD\_SIZE. Each image may have a different payload size. -\item \CONFIG_ROMBASE Each image must have a different base in rom. -\item \CONFIG_RESET Unclear what this is used for. -\item \_EXCEPTION\_VECTORS where an optional IDT might go. -\item USE\_OPTION\_TABLE if set, an option table section will be linked in. +\item CONFIG\_PAYLOAD\_SIZE.

They are assembled into one ROM image by the (soon to be deprecated) buildrom tool, or by the cbfs tool. |
