Until a while ago, coreboot was using a custom, "home-made" config system. For some time you can look at the [[Coreboot Options(old)|old list of options]].
{{#externalredirect: https://coreboot.org/status/kconfig-options.html }}
 
The new config system is kconfig (a.k.a. "[[Build HOWTO|make menuconfig]]"), the well-known system as also used by the Linux kernel, busybox and a various other projects.
 
This is an automatically generated list of '''coreboot compile-time options'''.

Append an extra string to the end of the coreboot version.

respective board's hostname or some other identifying string to
the coreboot version number, so that you can easily distinguish
boot logs of different boards from each other.

||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| MMX || cpu || bool ||  ||

code if it can spill to MMX registers.
 
||

| None || northbridge/amd || None || HyperTransport frequency ||
This option sets the maximum permissible HyperTransport link
frequency.
 
Use of this option will only limit the autodetected HT frequency.
It will not (and cannot) increase the frequency beyond the
autodetected limits.
 
This is primarily used to work around poorly designed or laid out
HT traces on certain motherboards.
 
||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| LIMIT_HT_SPEED_AUTO || northbridge/amd || bool || HyperTransport downlink width ||
This option sets the maximum permissible HyperTransport
downlink width.
 
Use of this option will only limit the autodetected HT width.
It will not (and cannot) increase the width beyond the autodetected
limits.
 
This is primarily used to work around poorly designed or laid out HT
traces on certain motherboards.
 
||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| LIMIT_HT_DOWN_WIDTH_16 || northbridge/amd || bool || HyperTransport uplink width ||
This option sets the maximum permissible HyperTransport
uplink width.
 
Use of this option will only limit the autodetected HT width.
It will not (and cannot) increase the width beyond the autodetected
limits.
 
This is primarily used to work around poorly designed or laid out HT
traces on certain motherboards.
 
||
 
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| SDRAMPWR_4DIMM || northbridge/intel/i440bx || bool ||  ||
This option affects how the SDRAMC register is programmed.
Memory clock signals will not be routed properly if this option
is set wrong.
 
If your board has 4 DIMM slots, you must use select this option, in
your Kconfig file of the board. On boards with 3 DIMM slots,
do _not_ select this option.

|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| || || (comment) || || Devices ||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| VGA_BRIDGE_SETUP || devices || bool || Setup bridges on path to VGA adapter ||
Allow bridges to set up legacy decoding ranges for VGA. Don't disable
this unless you're sure you don't want the briges setup for VGA.
 
||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| VGA_ROM_RUN || devices || bool || Run VGA option ROMs ||
Execute VGA option ROMs, if found. This is required to enable
PCI/AGP/PCI-E video cards.
 
||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| PCI_ROM_RUN || devices || bool || Run non-VGA option ROMs ||
Execute non-VGA PCI option ROMs, if found.
 
Examples include IDE/SATA controller option ROMs and option ROMs
for network cards (NICs).
 
||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| PCI_OPTION_ROM_RUN_REALMODE || devices || bool || Native mode ||
If you select this option, PCI option ROMs will be executed
natively on the CPU in real mode. No CPU emulation is involved,
so this is the fastest, but also the least secure option.
(only works on x86/x64 systems)
 
||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| PCI_OPTION_ROM_RUN_YABEL || devices || bool || Secure mode ||
If you select this option, the x86emu CPU emulator will be used to
execute PCI option ROMs.
 
This option prevents option ROMs from doing dirty tricks with the
system (such as installing SMM modules or hypervisors), but it is
also significantly slower than the native option ROM initialization
method.
 
This is the default choice for non-x86 systems.
 
||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| YABEL_PCI_ACCESS_OTHER_DEVICES || devices || bool || Allow option ROMs to access other devices ||
Per default, YABEL only allows option ROMs to access the PCI device
that they are associated with. However, this causes trouble for some
onboard graphics chips whose option ROM needs to reconfigure the
north bridge.
 
||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| YABEL_VIRTMEM_LOCATION || devices || hex || Location of YABEL's virtual memory ||
YABEL requires 1MB memory for its CPU emulation. This memory is
normally located at 16MB.
 
||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| YABEL_DIRECTHW || devices || bool || Direct hardware access ||
YABEL consists of two parts: It uses x86emu for the CPU emulation and
additionally provides a PC system emulation that filters bad device
and memory access (such as PCI config space access to other devices
than the initialized one).
 
When choosing this option, x86emu will pass through all hardware
accesses to memory and I/O devices to the underlying memory and I/O
addresses. While this option prevents option ROMs from doing dirty
tricks with the CPU (such as installing SMM modules or hypervisors),
they can still access all devices in the system.
Enable this option for a good compromise between security and speed.

some day make this a "choice".
 
||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| COREBOOT_KEEP_FRAMEBUFFER || toplevel || bool || Keep VESA framebuffer ||
This option keeps the framebuffer mode set after coreboot finishes
execution. If this option is enabled, coreboot will pass a
framebuffer entry in its coreboot table and the payload will need a
framebuffer driver. If this option is disabled, coreboot will switch
back to text mode before handing control to a payload.

file containing a hard_reset() function.
 
||
|- bgcolor="#eeeeee"
| BOARD_HAS_FADT || toplevel.deprecated_options || bool ||  ||
This variable specifies whether a given board has a board-local

| DRIVERS_PS2_KEYBOARD || toplevel.deprecated_options || bool || PS2 Keyboard init ||
Enable this option to initialize PS2 keyboards found connected
to the PS2 port.  Some payloads (eg, filo) require this
option.  Other payloads (eg, SeaBIOS, Linux) do not require
it.  Initializing a PS2 keyboard can take several hundred
milliseconds.
If you know you will only use a payload which does not require
this option, then you can say "n" here to speed up boot time.
Otherwise say "y".
