Add auto-boot timeout for U-Boot's bootflow menu 2024-12-04T07:23:51+00:00 Leah Rowe leah@libreboot.org 2024-12-04T06:55:48+00:00 c038b653ac1fed329c8577df3b19bad8d594c98a Otherwise, you have to press enter to boot your distro. With this, a timeout is created. After a number of seconds, which can be reconfigured, the first option selected will be booted, when generating a bootflow menu. The timeout is disabled when you navigate the menu; it only kicks in if you don't input anything on the keyboard. More information about how this works is in the U-Boot patches, within this patch. I've set the timeout to 8 seconds. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>

U-Boot x86: Avoid clearing the VESA display 2024-11-20T15:44:35+00:00 Leah Rowe leah@libreboot.org 2024-11-20T15:44:35+00:00 02e66ae01ae7bb9ae0dbab2903a2080f575151e1 This is a patch from Simon Glass. U-Boot clears the display when it starts up, but was asking the VESA driver to do the same, needlessly; this patch avoids the latter. A further patch is also included, which provides a better message when jumping into long mode on the SPL (64-bit) target, dumping it on the serial console instead of using printf.

u-boot x86 serial/ns16550: disable UART as needed 2024-11-19T22:46:29+00:00 Leah Rowe leah@libreboot.org 2024-11-19T22:45:43+00:00 b549d1e5f3838575d3ff1f9c6c6fd595b49b1b3a U-Boot was hanging on hardware, but not Qemu. This is because on the machines tested, namely the X200 and E6230 laptops supported in Libreboot, the UART was disabled from coreboot. This U-Boot patch from Simon Glass works around the issue by silently disabling the UART when it isn't there. Instead, output is sent to the display and U-Boot no longer hangs.
