Using the same ME image as the 3050 Micro.  This fixes the lack of a
backup download URL for the ME and speeds up boot time, since MRC
caching is working with ME (unlike SPS).

Unfortunately, since the MFS partition must be preserved, this does
mean we need a larger ME region than with me_cleaned SPS.

i don't like hyphens in file names, because of how lbmk
has historically handled directories and files in the past;
i've removed a lot of eval statements, to the extent that
it's no longer likely to be a problem (it's barely used now),
but i previously had a problem with using hyphens in config
names.

this design flaw (in lbmk) was fixed ages ago, but i still
maintain this policy. since that time, i use hyphens only.

<title>Add Supermicro X11SSH-F/LN4F port</title>

Surprisingly, SeaBIOS VGA output works (coreboot documentation says it
doesn't).

I'm using a static CMOS option table currently (like most other boards
supported in libreboot), but maybe it would be better to switch to the
CBFS file option table.  The default option table enables
hyperthreading, overriding the compile-time setting.

I'm also using a ME/SPS image extracted from the official BIOS update
for this board.  Unfortunately, https://www.supermicro.com/Bios/* is
excluded from crawlers in robots.txt so it's not in archive.org, so I
haven't been able to find a backup download URL.  I also needed to set
the user-agent for fetching the update to "curl/8.6.0" because the
default user-agent override used by lbmk resulted in a 403 error.
deguard is not required (there's no bootguard on this board).

SPS does not implement CPU replacement detection which means that the
MRC cache does not work and RAM training needs to happen on every
boot.  To avoid this it may be possible to run ME instead of SPS on
this board, but I tried both the ME image used on the OptiPlex 3050
Micro in libreboot and one from the ASRock C236 WSI and they both hung
at "[INFO ] POST: 0x92" (POSTCODE_FSP_MEMORY_INIT).

The memtest86+ build included with libreboot doesn't work with USB
keyboards and this board doesn't have a PS/2 port, which is annoying.

Patch in Gerrit: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/89281
Not working: USB3 ports only work at USB2 speeds.

IFD:
Modified the original by:
- Removing Device Exp2 region (empty anyway)
- Enlarging the BIOS region to use this freed space
- Setting the HAP bit in PCHSTRP55 using a fork of
  me_cleaner: https://github.com/XutaxKamay/me_cleaner

<title>vendor.sh: Properly verify SHA512SUM on extraction</title>
<updated>2025-05-16T04:39:18+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://browse.libreboot.org/lbmk.git/commit/?id=d668f3a35296f0bc7884b18d49f523d7bb331c30'/>
<id>d668f3a35296f0bc7884b18d49f523d7bb331c30</id>
<content type='text'>
I currently check the downloaded files e.g. .exe file, but
then I don't check - or even define - sha512sums for the
files extracted from them e.g. me.bin

This patch fixes that. It also caches the hashed files, so
that extraction is faster on a re-run - this makes release
builds go faster, when running ./mk release

If a checksum is not defined, i.e. blank, then a warning is
given, telling you to check a specific directory. This way,
when adding new vendor files, you can add it first without
specifying the checksum, e.g. me.bin checksum. Then you can
manually inspect the files that were extracted, and define it,
then test again.

In a given pkg.cfg for config/vendor, the following variables
are now available for use:

FSPM_bin_hash for fsp m module
FSPS_bin_hash for fsp s module
EC_FW1_hash for KBC1126 EC firmware (1st file)
EC_FW2_hash for KBC1126 EC firmware (2nd file)
ME_bin_hash for me.bin
MRC_bin_hash for mrc.bin (broadwell boards)
REF_bin_hash for refcode (broadwell boards)
SCH5545EC_bin_hash for sch5545 firmware (Dell Precision T1650)
TBFW_bin_hash for Lenovo ThunderBolt firmware (e.g. T480/T480s)
E6400_VGA_bin_hash for Dell E6400 Nvidia VGA ROM

In practise, most people use release archives, and the
inject script, so I knew those were reliable, because the ROM
images were hashed prior to removing files. This patch benefits
people using lbmk.git directly, without using release files,
because now they know they have a valid file e.g. me.bin

Previously, only the download was checked, not the extracted
files, which meant that the only thing preventing a brick was
the code not being buggy. Any number of bugs could pop up in
the future, so this new level of integrity will protect against
such a scenario, and provide early warning prompting bug fixes.
