petitboot: Use linux terminal type

Switching from vt100 to the linux termtype appears to solve the problem
of incorrectly displaying ncurses extended characters used for parts of
the window border. This error can occur, for example, by opening a SOL
session when the Petitboot UI is already drawn:

 Petitboot (v1.5.0-p60e3423)                          8335-GCA 2108ECA

 Enter=accept, e=edit, n=new, x=exit, l=language, g=log, h=help

Switching to 'linux' correctly draws the line borders even when starting
a session late.

OpenPOWER Firmware Build Environment

The OpenPOWER firmware build process uses Buildroot to create a toolchain and build the various components of the PNOR firmware, including Hostboot, Skiboot, OCC, Petitboot etc.

Development

Issues, Milestones, pull requests and code hosting is on GitHub: https://github.com/open-power/op-build

Mailing list: openpower-firmware@lists.ozlabs.org
Info/Subscribe: https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/openpower-firmware

Building an image

To build an image for a Palmetto system:

git clone --recursive git@github.com:open-power/op-build.git
cd op-build
. op-build-env
op-build palmetto_defconfig && op-build

There are also default configurations for other platforms in openpower/configs/ such as Habanero and Firestone.

Buildroot/op-build supports both native and cross-compilation - it will automatically download and build an appropriate toolchain as part of the build process, so you don't need to worry about setting up a cross-compiler. Cross-compiling from a x86-64 host is officially supported.

Dependencies for 64-bit Ubuntu/Debian systems

  1. Install Ubuntu (>= 14.04) or Debian (>= 7.5) 64-bit.

  2. Enable Universe (Ubuntu only):

     sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
 sudo add-apt-repository universe

  3. Install the packages necessary for the build:

     sudo apt-get install cscope ctags libz-dev libexpat-dev \
   python language-pack-en texinfo \
   build-essential g++ git bison flex unzip \
   libssl-dev libxml-simple-perl libxml-sax-perl libxml2-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc \
   wget bc

Dependencies for 64-bit Fedora systems

  1. Install Fedora 25 64-bit (older Fedora should also work).

  2. Install the packages necessary for the build:

     sudo dnf install gcc-c++ flex bison git ctags cscope expat-devel patch \
