coreboot 4.11 + U-boot master

[Jay Talbott]

Hi Simon,

I had openssl installed, but apparently not libssl-dev. But when I added that, it still failed in the same spot. So then I just installed all the prerequisites (cut/paste from [1]), even though many of them were already installed, and then it finally built. So at least I have something building at this point.

We will need the 64-bit build. Not sure if it was the right thing to do, but I did put coreboot64_defconfig in make menuconfig for the U-boot config file.

If you have a patch for making the 64-bit build an option, I'll need to apply that to the 4.11 branch for this build.

Thanks for your help!

- Jay
