Code Coverage
The wiki is being retired!
Documentation is now handled by the same processes we use for code: Add something to the Documentation/ directory in the coreboot repo, and it will be rendered to https://doc.coreboot.org/. Contributions welcome!
Prerequisites
You need
- The code coverage patch for coreboot: http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/2052/
- The latest version of lcov: http://ltp.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ltp/utils/analysis/lcov/?view=tar
Getting started
- Install lcov. You will need to patch geninfo to make it work with the coreboot toolchain:

Getting code coverage information
- Compile coreboot with CONFIG_COVERAGE enabled
- Flash and run coreboot on the target system
- Run cbmem on the target system to extract coverage data (see coreboot/util/cbmem/)
$ sudo ./cbmem -CV
- Transfer the files back to your host system
- Run lcov and genhtml on the host system
$ lcov --capture --directory $( pwd ) --output-file coreboot.info --gcov-tool i386-elf-gcov $ genhtml coreboot.info --output-directory coreboot-coverage
- Find your html files visualizing code coverage in coreboot-coverage
