- COREBOOT firmware information
- The device tree node to communicate the location of coreboot's memory-resident
- bookkeeping structures to the kernel. Since coreboot itself cannot boot a
- device-tree-based kernel (yet), this node needs to be inserted by a
- second-stage bootloader (a coreboot "payload").
- Required properties:
- - compatible: Should be "coreboot"
- - reg: Address and length of the following two memory regions, in order:
- 1.) The coreboot table. This is a list of variable-sized descriptors
- that contain various compile- and run-time generated firmware
- parameters. It is identified by the magic string "LBIO" in its first
- four bytes.
- See coreboot's src/commonlib/include/commonlib/coreboot_tables.h for
- details.
- 2.) The CBMEM area. This is a downward-growing memory region used by
- coreboot to dynamically allocate data structures that remain resident.
- It may or may not include the coreboot table as one of its members. It
- is identified by a root node descriptor with the magic number
- 0xc0389481 that resides in the topmost 8 bytes of the area.
- See coreboot's src/include/imd.h for details.
- Example:
- firmware {
- ranges;
- coreboot {
- compatible = "coreboot";
- reg = <0xfdfea000 0x264>,
- <0xfdfea000 0x16000>;
- }
- };
