2013-12-09documentation: Change the file name of document for building CorebootZheng Bao
I am planning to write a document for new man, helping them to build a working image from knowing nothing about Coreboot. The previous LinuxBIOS-AMD64.tex was a good script. LinuxBIOS was a out-of-date name. It needs to be changed it to Coreboot. And the new document is not specific to AMD, so we get rid of the AMD64 from the file name. This is a separate patch for the renaming. LinuxBIOS-AMD64.tex was still about SVN and buildtarget. Later patch will come up for updating those old thing. And this new document, CorebootBuildingGuide.tex, is planning to be only about building. Navigating the source code is moved to later advanced document.

2013-05-10Get rid of MAXIMUM_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL; compile all messages into the coreboot ↵Ronald G. Minnich
binary This option has never had much if any use. It solved a problem over 10 years ago that resulted from an argument over the value or lack thereof of including all the debug strings in a coreboot image. The answer is in: it's a good idea to maintain the capability to print all messages, for many reasons. This option is also misleading people, as in a recent discussion, to believe that log messges are controlled at build time in a way they are not. For the record, from this day forward, we can print messages at all log levels and the default log level is set at boot time, as directed by DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL. You can set the default to 0 at build time and if you are having trouble override it in CMOS and get more messages. Besides, a quick glance shows it's always set to max (9 in this case) in the very few cases (1) in which it is set. Change-Id: I60c4cdaf4dcd318b841a6d6c70546417c5626f21 Signed-off-by: Ronald G.

2010-08-03Drop the USE_PRINTK_IN_CAR option. It's a bogus decision to make for any user /Stefan Reinauer
board porter: printk should always be available in CAR mode. Also drop CONFIG_USE_INIT, it's only been selected on one ASROCK board but it's not been used there. Very odd. There is one usage of CONFIG_USE_INIT which was always off in src/cpu/intel/car/cache_as_ram.inc and we have to figure out what to do with those few lines.
