== Building as Nix Derivation == | |||
There is a commented example of building Coreboot as Nix derivation at [https://github.com/blitz/nix-coreboot blitz/nix-coreboot] on Github. | |||

Coreboot as of 24.02 comes with a Nix shell expression for x86 at <code>util/nixshell//devshell-i386.nix</code>. | |||

== Skip building toolchain == | |||
We can use our system toolchain to build coreboot firmware, but this is not recommended per [https://doc.coreboot.org/tutorial/part1.html coreboot docs]: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
you can possibly use your system toolchain, but the results are not reproducible, and may have issues, so this is not recommended | |||
</blockquote> | |||
To use the system toolchain, in <code>make menuconfig</code>, enable <code>General Setup > Allow building with any toolchain</code> | |||

coreboot is pretty picky about the toolchain it is built with and thus using the toolchain it comes with is the easiest path to success. There are commented Nix expressions that build coreboot [https://github.com/blitz/nix-coreboot here]. | coreboot is pretty picky about the toolchain it is built with and thus using the toolchain it comes with is the easiest path to success.
