 4  .SH SYNOPSIS

 8  .SH DESCRIPTION
 9  .B abuild
10  is a utility used to easily build coreboot images for all available targets.
11  .SH OPTIONS
12  The
13  .B "[CBROOT]"
14  parameter tells
15  .B abuild
16  where the root directory of the coreboot build tree resides. Per default
17  this is
18  .B "../.."
19  as the
20  .B abuild
21  script resides in
22  .BR "[CBROOT]/utils/abuild" .
23  .TP
24  .B "\-a, \-\-all"
25  Build previously succeeded ports as well.
26  .TP
27  .B "\-b, \-\-broken"
28  Attempt to build ports that are known to be broken.
29  .TP
30  .B "\-p, \-\-payloads <dir>"
31  Use payloads in
32  .B "<dir>"
33  to build images. This will run payload.sh in that directory to find out the
34  path of the payload.
35  .TP
36  .B "\-t, \-\-target <vendor/board>"
37  Attempt to build target vendor/board only.
38  .TP
39  .B "\-r, \-\-remove"
40  Remove mainboard build directory after the respective target has been
41  built. This is mainly used for development purposes, when you don't need
42  the actual build output, but rather only want to know if a build failed
43  or not.
44  .TP
45  .B "\-x, \-\-xml"
46  Write an XML log file instead of a plain-text one.
47  The file will be called
48  .B abuild.xml
49  and will be created in the current directory.
50  .TP
51  .B "\-T, \-\-test"
52  Submit generated image(s) to the automated test system.
53  The results of the tests will be made available at
54  .B https://qa.coreboot.org/log_manual.php
55  .TP
56  .B "\-c, \-\-cpus [<numcpus>|max]"
57  Build on
58  .B numcpus
59  cpus at the same time, or on all available with
60  .B max\fR.
61  .TP
62  .B "\-s, \-\-silent"
63  Don't print any compiler calls in the log files. In coreboot v2 compiler
64  calls are quite long, so it is hard to find the warnings between them.
65  .TP
66  .B "\-v, \-\-verbose"
67  More verbose output.
68  .TP
69  .B "\-h, \-\-help"
70  Show a help text and exit.
71  .TP
72  .B "\-V, \-\-version"
73  Show version information and exit.
