| .SH NAME |
| abuild \- build coreboot images for all available targets |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B abuild |
| \fR[\fB\-abrvxsTVh\fR] [\fB\-c\fR numcpus|max] [\fB\-t\fR vendor/board] [\fB\-p\fR dir] |
| [LBROOT] |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .B abuild |
| is a utility used to easily build coreboot images for all available targets. |
| .SH OPTIONS |
| The |
| .B "[LBROOT]" |
| parameter tells |
| .B abuild |
| where the root directory of the coreboot build tree resides. Per default |
| this is |
| .B "../.." |
| as the |
| .B abuild |
| script resides in |
| .BR "[CBROOT]/utils/abuild" . |
| .TP |
| .B "\-a, \-\-all" |
| Build previously succeeded ports as well. |
| .TP |
| .B "\-b, \-\-broken" |
| Attempt to build ports that are known to be broken. |
| .TP |
| .B "\-p, \-\-payloads <dir>" |
| Use payloads in |
| .B "<dir>" |
| to build images. This will run payload.sh in that directory to find out the |
| path of the payload. |
| .TP |
| .B "\-t, \-\-target <vendor/board>" |
| Attempt to build target vendor/board only. |
| .TP |
| .B "\-r, \-\-remove" |
| Remove mainboard build directory after the respective target has been |
| built. This is mainly used for development purposes, when you don't need |
| the actual build output, but rather only want to know if a build failed |
| or not. |
| .TP |
| .B "\-x, \-\-xml" |
| Write an XML log file instead of a plain-text one. |
| The file will be called |
| .B abuild.xml |
| and will be created in the current directory. |
| .TP |
| .B "\-T, \-\-test" |
| Submit generated image(s) to the automated test system. |
| The results of the tests will be made available at |
| .B http://qa.coreboot.org/log_manual.php |
| .TP |
| .B "\-c, \-\-cpus [<numcpus>|max]" |
| Build on |
| .B numcpus |
| cpus at the same time, or on all available with |
| .B max\fR. |
| .TP |
| .B "\-s, \-\-silent" |
| Don't print any compiler calls in the log files. In coreboot v2 compiler |
| calls are quite long, so it is hard to find the warnings between them. |
| .TP |
| .B "\-v, \-\-verbose" |
| More verbose output. |
| .TP |
| .B "\-h, \-\-help" |
| Show a help text and exit. |
| .TP |
| .B "\-V, \-\-version" |
| Show version information and exit. |
