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.

<title>HP 820 G2: Use fam15h cbfstool tree for refcode</title>
<updated>2025-05-08T19:46:05+00:00</updated>

<id>021e7615c84ddf91edcd13a6385fe1bd6ca51ebb</id>
<content type='text'>
We used cbfstool from coreboot 4.13, because it was the
last version to work with the particular format used
for stage files, before the CBFS standard changed in newer
releases of cbfstool.

When I added this board to Libreboot, it was source-only at
first so it didn't matter. I didn't want to do a standalone
cbfstool binary, in case some people decided to use that one
on newer boards, which would cause all sorts of issues.

So I bodged it and just included an import of coreboot 4.13.

Well, the cbfstool from coreboot 4.11, as used for FAM15H
AMD boards, is compatible. I checked the code diff between
the two, and there is no meaningful difference.

I've tested this, and it works, since the last release or
two now includes 820 G2 images, so I  was able to use those
with ./mk inject, to verify whether the refcode file is
still grabbed properly. We need the refcode to handle MRC
on Broadwell platform, but we extract it from an old Google
Chromebook image, that uses the old CBFS stage file layout.

This change solves my problem: the problem was that releases
are bloated further, due to including this extra coreboot
version. This should reduce the size of the next release
considerably, especially after decompressing the tarball.

<title>NEW MAINBOARD: Dell Precision T1700 SFF and MT</title>

This is similar to the 9020SFF, but this board has ECC support.
However, the native raminit isn't used here, even though it is
otherwise compatible, because the native init doesn't do ECC yet.

The broadwell mrc.bin has ECC support, which is also used on the
HP EliteBook 820 G2. The MRC for broadwell can be used on haswell
boards such as the T1700.

Add both the SFF and MT variants. Since these are identical to the
9020 variants, except for slightly different PCH enabling ECC, we
can just re-use the 9020 port without issue.

We *could* add a variant to coreboot, for T1700, but there is not
really any pressing need. It is simply the 9020sff/mt with mrc.bin
