There's a repository on coreboot.org for binary blobs that can be used with coreboot.

Or should we have a top-level "blob" directory in v3 that includes the vsa file, and then build it in to LAR?Please don't store any blobs in the v3 tree directly. That's where buildrom comes into play. Buildrom can always wget/curl these blobs from http://coreboot.org. Then it stores them in the LAR below the "blob/" directory. If you are absolutely desparate to include the VSA in a non-buildrom build of v3, you still can download the VSA manually.
svn://coreboot.org/optionroms/I suggest that one should be used for storing VSA too. We can also rename it, if you dont like the name. We can also pull it into the main coreboot v3 tree with svn:external if that's what people want.
I think that problem has been solved already in v2. We should do it the same way in v3, with the difference that the file is stored in a lar.I am thinking it is now time to solve the VSA problem, and LAR is the key piece.Yes, but we need a way to specify the entry point of the VSA blob for that to work reliably.
We can also put a stage between stage1 and stage2 for VSA. I guess the concern is that VSA needs RAM set up, and it is needed by the PCI scan code to work correctly?Also, it looks like we need to actually run the lar code in stage 2 phase 2, i.e. the setup for pci scan stage. I had not anticipated this at all. Any ideas here?Why should that be a problem?
