# Kconfig SeaBIOS configuration mainmenu "SeaBIOS Configuration" menu "General Features" choice prompt "Build Target" default QEMU config COREBOOT bool "Build for coreboot" help Configure as a coreboot payload. config QEMU bool "Build for QEMU/Xen/KVM/Bochs" select QEMU_HARDWARE help Configure for an emulated machine (QEMU, Xen, KVM, or Bochs). config CSM bool "Build as Compatibility Support Module for EFI BIOS" help Configure to be used by EFI firmware as Compatibility Support module (CSM) to provide legacy BIOS services. endchoice config QEMU_HARDWARE bool "Support hardware found on emulators (QEMU/Xen/KVM/Bochs)" if !QEMU default n help Support virtual hardware when the code detects it is running on an emulator. config XEN depends on QEMU bool "Support Xen HVM" default y help Configure to be used by xen hvmloader, for a HVM guest. config THREADS bool "Parallelize hardware init" default y help Support running hardware initialization in parallel. config RELOCATE_INIT bool "Copy init code to high memory" default y help Support relocating the one time initialization code to high memory. config BOOTMENU depends on BOOT bool "Bootmenu" default y help Support an interactive boot menu at end of post. config BOOTSPLASH depends on BOOTMENU bool "Graphical boot splash screen" default y help Support showing a graphical boot splash screen. config BOOTORDER depends on BOOT bool "Boot ordering" default y help Support controlling of the boot order via the fw_cfg/CBFS "bootorder" file. config HOST_BIOS_GEOMETRY depends on BOOT bool "Boot device bios geometry override" default y help Support overriding bios (logical) geometry of boot devices via the fw_cfg/CBFS "bios-geometry" file. config COREBOOT_FLASH depends on COREBOOT bool "coreboot CBFS support" default y help Support searching coreboot flash format. config LZMA depends on COREBOOT_FLASH bool "CBFS lzma support" default y help Support CBFS files compressed using the lzma decompression algorithm. config CBFS_LOCATION depends on COREBOOT_FLASH hex "CBFS memory end location" default 0 help Memory address of where the CBFS data ends. This should be zero for normal builds. It may be a non-zero value if the CBFS filesystem is at a non-standard location (eg, 0xffe00000 if CBFS ends 2Meg below the end of flash). config MULTIBOOT depends on COREBOOT bool "multiboot support" default y help Add multiboot header in bios.bin.raw and accept files supplied as multiboot modules. config ENTRY_EXTRASTACK bool "Use internal stack for 16bit interrupt entry points" default y help Utilize an internal stack for all the legacy 16bit interrupt entry points. This reduces the amount of space on the caller's stack that SeaBIOS uses. This may adversely impact any legacy operating systems that call the BIOS in 16bit protected mode. config MALLOC_UPPERMEMORY bool "Allocate memory that needs to be in first Meg above 0xc0000" default y help Use the "Upper Memory Block" area (0xc0000-0xf0000) for internal "low memory" allocations. If this is not selected, the memory is instead allocated from the "9-segment" (0x90000-0xa0000). config ROM_SIZE int "ROM size (in KB)" default 0 help Set the ROM size. Say '0' here to make seabios figure the needed size automatically. Currently SeaBIOS will easily fit into 256 KB.

This also enables int 17 parallel port calls. config RTC_TIMER bool "Real Time Clock (RTC) scheduling" depends on HARDWARE_IRQ default y help Support MC146818 Real Time Clock chip timer interrupts. This also enables int 1583 and int 1586 calls. Disabling this support does not disable access to the RTC cmos registers. config HARDWARE_IRQ bool "Hardware interrupts" default y help Program and support hardware interrupts using the i8259 programmable interrupt controller (PIC). This option must be enabled in order to support most boot loaders. Only disable this option if running on peculiar hardware known not to support irq routing. config USE_SMM depends on QEMU bool "System Management Mode (SMM)" default y help Support System Management Mode (on emulators). config CALL32_SMM bool depends on USE_SMM default y config MTRR_INIT depends on QEMU bool "Initialize MTRRs" default y help Initialize the Memory Type Range Registers (on emulators). config PMTIMER bool "Support ACPI timer" default y help Detect and use the ACPI timer for timekeeping. config TSC_TIMER bool "Support CPU timestamp counter as timer" default y help Support for using the CPU timestamp counter as an internal timing source. endmenu menu "BIOS interfaces" config DRIVES bool "Drive interface" default y help Support int13 disk/floppy drive functions. config CDROM_BOOT depends on DRIVES bool "DVD/CDROM booting" default y help Support for booting from a CD.

If unsure, say Y. config FW_ROMFILE_LOAD bool "Load BIOS tables from ROM files" depends on QEMU_HARDWARE default y help Support loading BIOS firmware tables from ROM files. At the moment, only ACPI tables can be loaded in this way. Required for QEMU 1.7 and newer. This option can be disabled for QEMU 1.6 and older to save some space in the ROM file. If unsure, say Y. config ACPI_PARSE bool "Include ACPI DSDT parser." default y help Support parsing ACPI DSDT for device probing. Needed to find virtio-mmio devices. If unsure, say Y. endmenu source vgasrc/Kconfig menu "Debugging" config DEBUG_LEVEL int "Debug level" default 1 help Control how verbose debug output is. The higher the number, the more verbose SeaBIOS will be. Set to zero to disable debugging. config DEBUG_SERIAL depends on DEBUG_LEVEL != 0 bool "Serial port debugging" default n help Send debugging information to serial port. config DEBUG_SERIAL_PORT depends on DEBUG_SERIAL hex "Serial port base address" default 0x3f8 help Base port for serial - generally 0x3f8, 0x2f8, 0x3e8, or 0x2e8. config DEBUG_SERIAL_MMIO depends on DEBUG_LEVEL != 0 && !DEBUG_SERIAL bool "Serial port debugging via memory mapped IO" default n help Send debugging information to serial port mapped in memory. config DEBUG_SERIAL_MEM_ADDRESS depends on DEBUG_SERIAL_MMIO hex "Serial port memory mapped IO address" help On some chipsets the serial port is memory mapped, in those cases provide the 32 bit address. E.g. 0xFEDC6000 for the AMD Kern (a.k.a Hudson UART). config DEBUG_IO depends on QEMU_HARDWARE && DEBUG_LEVEL != 0 bool "Special IO port debugging" default y help Some emulators or hypervisors provide with a way to output debug information by outputing strings in a special port present in the IO space. config DEBUG_COREBOOT depends on COREBOOT && DEBUG_LEVEL != 0 bool "coreboot cbmem debug logging" default y help Send debugging information to the coreboot cbmem console buffer. Needs CONFIG_CONSOLE_CBMEM in coreboot. You can read the log after boot using 'cbmem -c'. Only 32bit code (basically every- thing before booting the OS) writes to the log buffer. endmenu
