* x86: Add binary blob checksums for Minnowboard MAXSimon Glass2015-07-14-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | To try to reduce the pain of confusion of binary blobs, add MD5 checksums for the current versions. This may worsen the situation as new versions appear, but it should still be possible to obtain these versions, and thus get a working setup.

* x86: Move VGA option rom macros to KconfigBin Meng2015-07-14-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Move X86_OPTION_ROM_FILE & X86_OPTION_ROM_ADDR to arch/x86/Kconfig and rename them to VGA_BIOS_FILE & VGA_BIOS_ADDR which depend on HAVE_VGA_BIOS. The new names are consistent with other x86 binary blob options like HAVE_FSP/FSP_FILE/FSP_ADDR. Signed-off-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

* x86: qemu: Create separate i440fx and q35 device treesBin Meng2015-06-04-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | Although the two qemu-x86 targets (i440fx and q35) share a lot in common, they still have something that cannot easily handled in one single device tree). Split to create two dedicated device tree files and make the i440fx be the default build target. Signed-off-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

* x86: Add queensbay fsp patch information in README.x86Bin Meng2015-03-24-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | The FSP release version 001 for Intel Queensbay 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. Describe this information in the x86 doc so that U-Boot Queensbay support is invulnerable.

* x86: Add support for Intel Minnowboard MaxSimon Glass2015-02-06-5/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a relatively low-cost x86 board in a small form factor. The main peripherals are uSD, USB, HDMI, Ethernet and SATA. It uses an Atom 3800 series CPU. So far only the dual core 2GB variant is supported. This uses the existing FSP support. Binary blobs are required to make this board work. The microcode update is included as a patch (all 3000 lines of it).

* x86: Add an option to enabling building a ROM fileSimon Glass2015-02-05-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | Rather than requiring the Makefile to be modified, provide a build option to enable the ROM to be built. We cannot do this by default since it requires binary blobs. Without these the build will fail. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com>
