-In the most general case, the flash layout looks something like this:
-
- +---------------------+
- | Reserved for EC use |
- +---------------------+
-
- +---------------------+
- | Vblock B |
- +---------------------+
- | RW firmware B |
- +---------------------+
-
- +---------------------+
- | Vblock A |
- +---------------------+
- | RW firmware A |
- +---------------------+
-
- +---------------------+
- | FMAP |
- +---------------------+
- | Public root key |
- +---------------------+
- | Read-only firmware |
- +---------------------+

-BIOS firmware (and kernel) put the vblock info at the start of each image
-where it's easy to find. The Blizzard EC expects the firmware vector table
-to come first, so we have to put the vblock at the end. This means we have
-to know where to look for it, but that's built into the FMAP and the RO
-firmware anyway, so that's not an issue.
-
-The RO firmware doesn't need a vblock of course, but it does need some
-reserved space for vboot-related things.
-
-Using SHA256/RSA4096, the vblock is 2468 bytes (0x9a4), while the public
-root key is 1064 bytes (0x428) and the current FMAP is 644 bytes (0x284). If
-we reserve 4K at the top of each FW image, that should give us plenty of
-room for vboot-related stuff.
