This is normal now. A lot of tool chains add padding to the elf file. When the seabios payload gets added to cbfs, this padding is removed. So, the elf size is just misleading. The real size of seabios is shown at the end of the seabios build. On my machine I'll get: Total size: 93744 Free space: 37328 Percent used: 71.5% (128KiB rom) $ ls -l out/bios.bin.elf -rwxr-xr-x 1 kevin 1048716 Sep 16 20:49 out/bios.bin.elf The real size in flash (even without lzma) is 93744 bytes. -Kevin -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
