I cant build firmware for serw13

[rezaAdinepour]

Hi everybody,

I can't build a coreboot firmware using the firmware-open repository.

I cloned the repository and installed all dependencies according to the installation docs.

However, when I run the ./scripts/build.sh serw13 command, the following error appears. How can I fix it?

    DD         Adding Intel Firmware Descriptor
    IFDTOOL    validate IFD against FMAP
File build/coreboot.pre is 33554432 bytes
No Flash Descriptor found in this image
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
make: *** [src/southbridge/intel/common/firmware/Makefile.mk:51: add_intel_firmware] Error 139

I find error here in build log as bellow but why?

@crawfxrd I saw that you removed some parameters on january related to fan noise, i dont know you if thre is anything related to that on build the serw13

thanks

No, I haven't changed the default configuration. I was building it as it was, but I was encountering issues. This problem was resolved by rebooting the system :)))

[bdmstyle]

for me rebooting still the same error.

[crawfxrd]

This is not reproducible. Do you have LFS objects pulled?

[bdmstyle]

I just donwload a brand new pop iso, install and follow the https://github.com/system76/firmware-open/blob/master/docs/building.md

After everything run I got

    DD         Adding Intel Firmware Descriptor
    IFDTOOL    validate IFD against FMAP
File build/coreboot.pre is 33554432 bytes
No Flash Descriptor found in this image

I have the same exact error building darp7, darp8 and darp9. Darp10 and darp11 are ok.

[bdmstyle]

Solved!

@crawfxrd Thanks! The lfs pull command resolved the build issue this is missing in the doc.

I suggest adding this step to the build documentation.
