Hi Simon,

I am building u-boot.rom for MinnowboardMax as per the steps mentioned
in the README.x86.

1. Downloading BAY_TRAIL_FSP_KIT_GOLD3.tgz

a) copying BAYTRAIL_FSP_GOLD_003_16-SEP-2014.fd  as
board/intel/minnowmax/fsp.bin

b) copying Vga.dat as board/intel/minnowmax/vga.bin

c) ./tools/ifdtool -x BayleyBay/SPI.bin

>From the generted files, copying flashregion_2_intel_me.bin as
board/intel/minnowmax/me.bin

Though the o/p files are generated, I get the following error  after
this command -
root at saket-HP-PC:# /u-boot-x86/tools/ifdtool -x BayleyBay/SPI.bin
  Flash Region 0 (Flash Descriptor): 00000000 - 00000fff
  Flash Region 1 (BIOS): 00500000 - 007fffff
  Flash Region 2 (Intel ME): 00001000 - 004fffff
  Flash Region 3 (GbE): 00fff000 - 00000fff (unused)
Error while writing: Bad address
  Flash Region 4 (Platform Data): 00fff000 - 00000fff (unused)
Error while writing: Bad address


2. Downloading 2014-WW42.4-MinnowBoardMax.73-64-bit.bin_Release.zip

a)./tools/ifdtool -x MNW2MAX1.X64.0073.R02.1409160934.bin
>From the generted files, copying flashregion_0_flashdescriptor.bin  as
board/intel/minnowmax/descriptor.bin

Though the o/p files are generated, I get the following error  after
this command -
root at saket-PC:# /u-boot-x86/tools/ifdtool -x
MNW2MAX1.X64.0073.R02.1409160934.bin
  Flash Region 0 (Flash Descriptor): 00000000 - 00000fff
  Flash Region 1 (BIOS): 00500000 - 007fffff
  Flash Region 2 (Intel ME): 00001000 - 004fffff
  Flash Region 3 (GbE): 00000000 - 00000fff
  Flash Region 4 (Platform Data): 00fff000 - 00000fff (unused)
Error while writing: Bad address

3. Building u-boot.rom
 export BUILD_ROM=y
 make minnowmax_defconfig
 make all

4. Flashing u-boot.rom to Minnowmax by desiprog sf100
 ./flashrom -p dediprog -w u-boot.rom

5. Now when I am powering Minnowmax and collecting the output on serial -
Nothing appears.

Kindly let me know, if I am missing something here.
