.SH SYNOPSIS
.B abuild
\fR[\fB\-abvxsTVh\fR] [\fB\-c\fR numcpus|max] [\fB\-t\fR vendor/board] [\fB\-p\fR dir]
[LBROOT]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B abuild
is a utility used to easily build coreboot images for all available targets.
.SH OPTIONS
The
.B "[LBROOT]"
parameter tells
.B abuild
where the root directory of the coreboot build tree resides. Per default
this is
.B "../.."
as the
.B abuild
script resides in
.BR "[CBROOT]/utils/abuild" .
.TP
.B "\-a, \-\-all"
Build previously succeeded ports as well.
.TP
.B "\-b, \-\-broken"
Attempt to build ports that are known to be broken.
.TP
.B "\-p, \-\-payloads <dir>"
Use payloads in
.B "<dir>"
to build images. This will run payload.sh in that directory to find out the
path of the payload.
.TP
.B "\-t, \-\-target <vendor/board>"
Attempt to build target vendor/board only.
.TP
.B "\-x, \-\-xml"
Write an XML log file instead of a plain-text one.
The file will be called
.B abuild.xml
and will be created in the current directory.
.TP
.B "\-T, \-\-test"
Submit generated image(s) to the automated test system.
The results of the tests will be made available at 
.B http://qa.coreboot.org/log_manual.php
.TP
.B "\-c, \-\-cpus [<numcpus>|max]"
Build on 
.B numcpus
cpus at the same time, or on all available with 
.B max\fR.
.TP
.B "\-s, \-\-silent"
Don't print any compiler calls in the log files. In coreboot v2 compiler
calls are quite long, so it is hard to find the warnings between them.
.TP
.B "\-v, \-\-verbose"
More verbose output.
.TP
.B "\-h, \-\-help"
Show a help text and exit.
.TP
.B "\-V, \-\-version"
Show version information and exit.
