That's a helper for qemu. Basically, qemu expects bios.bin, and the copy operation reduces the amount of stuff you have to do before you can boot Qemu with the new ROM. I have to admit it does not make sense for anything besides Qemu. Making bios.bin a separate target would have the Qemu target diverge from all other targets. And "make bios.bin" is really not much an improvement over "make; cp build/coreboot.rom build/bios.bin". I'm open to removing it completely, but I don't feel strongly for either removal or unchanged keeping as long as invoking the build process for Qemu doesn't diverge. Tell me what you want and I'll cook up a patch. Regards, Carl-Daniel -- http://www.hailfinger.org/ -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
