barebox for an i586 board

barebox for an i586 board

[Giorgio Dal Molin]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a barebox image for an i586 (Vortex86) based board.

The config file I'm using was derived from the arch/x86/configs/generic_defconfig

The build error I see is:

...
  LD      defaultenv/built-in.o
  GEN     .version
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  UPD     include/generated/compile.h
  CC      common/version.o
  LD      common/built-in.o
  LD      barebox
ld: section .bootstrapping VMA [0000000000007e00,000000000000826b] overlaps section .bootsector VMA [0000000000007c00,0000000000007fff]
make[1]: *** [/tmp/barebox/Makefile:767: barebox] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:123: _all] Error 2

First of all: does barebox really support booting such a 'normal PC'
without EFI bios ?

If yes can someone suggest me a direction how to fix this ?

There is very interesting video at youtube:

Alas AFAIK Bach Nguyen has not shared his results with community.

Yes, but no. We started support for this scenario, but I haven't heard
of anyone using it for a long time. There is a lot missing and nobody is
working on it. Given that modern X86 hardware has EFI support I don't
think the generic X86 is going anywhere.
