google/urara: retrieve board ID from a CBFS file
Concerto board does not have the means of detecting the identity of the device it is controlling. But it is very beneficial to be able to use the same firmware image on Concerto boards running different devices. The suggested solution is to keep the device identity as a string in a raw CBFS file called 'board_id'. With this patch coreboot maintains a table of possible board name strings and their matching board IDs. BRANCH=none BUG=chrome-os-partner:37593 TEST=verified that without the board id file addition the default Board ID of zero is used. Adding the file as follows: echo -n 'concerto' > /tmp/bid cbfstool /build/urara/firmware/image.serial.bin add -f /tmp/bid \ -t raw -n 'board_id' results in firmware reporting board ID setting of 1. board_id: failed to locate CBFS file board_id board_id: name urara, ID 0 Change-Id: I5a02192740dc94b1ea8090092cc325fe0ac42aa6 Signed-off-by: Patrick Georgi <pgeorgi@chromium.org> Original-Commit-Id: f41f9b07f155f0c719c36e0cd93081205624557e Original-Change-Id: I8341782005b101be78f5c9a6b375c8f73179c1ad Original-Signed-off-by: Vadim Bendebury <vbendeb@chromium.org> Original-Reviewed-on: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/257170 Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/9856 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Stefan Reinauer <stefan.reinauer@coreboot.org>
