This reverts commit 2099545078d5a5586743d32b2470a296b66cb5c7. Wasn't this config's fault, the problem happens elsewhere too. I'm going to revert build/boot/roms to an older version and backport a few recent changes, to see if that fixes the problem. If it does, then I know that the recent linker issues happen due to recent changes in build/boot/roms The linker errors typically appear in util/kconfig/ but can happen elsewhere, seemingly random, which means I'm not handling distclean properly. Something isn't getting cleaned properly. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
This reverts commit 0f7a5386b9219111418a8de8637039c8533d99ea. Random linker errors, must investigate after release. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
I don't know why, but removing this BL31 make argument lets gru-kevin power off properly when shut down from Linux. Needs investigation. Do it as a cros-only HACK patch so people don't have to hold the power button after every shutdown. Signed-off-by: Alper Nebi Yasak <alpernebiyasak@gmail.com>
turns out it's just picky ram. errant reports of "no boot" (users did not have debug dongles) were likely "bad" ram notes will be written on libreboot.org about this Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
not well-tested, and existing testing has revealed video issues on some of them (or just no boot) for now, retain only qemu and gru-* on arm Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
t440pmrc_12mb is the blob one. t440p_12mb is the libre one, but this isn't clear. rename accordingly. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
From now on, the following rules are available for all mainboards, in resources/coreboot/boardname/board.cfg: * blobs_required="n" or "y" * microcode_required="n" or "y" The blobs setting, if set to "n", simply renames filename.rom to filename_noblobs.rom. The microcode setting, if set to "n", copies the ROM (with or without _noblobs) to filename_nomicrocode.rom (if blobs="n", it would be filename_noblobs_nomicrocode.rom). Where "nomicrocode" is set, ROMs with microcode will still be provided by lbmk and in relesase, but ROMs will also be provided alongside it that lacks any microcode updates. If the *original* ROM already lacks microcode updates, then the original ROM will be *renamed* to include "nomicrocode" in the name. This is done on images for ARM platforms, for instance, where microcode is never used whatsoever. Example filenames now generated: seabios_e6400_4mb_libgfxinit_corebootfb_noblobs_nomicrocode.rom seabios_e6400_4mb_libgfxinit_corebootfb_noblobs.rom seabios_withgrub_hp8300usdt_16mb_libgfxinit_corebootfb_colemak_nomicrocode.rom seabios_withgrub_hp8300usdt_16mb_libgfxinit_corebootfb_colemak.rom uboot_payload_gru_kevin_libgfxinit_corebootfb_noblobs_nomicrocode.rom A vocal minority of people were not happy with some of the changes made in Libreboot last year, including on existing supported hardware from before those changes were made. I did this before the last release, out of respect: https://libreboot.org/news/gm45microcode.html (re-add mitigations for no-microcode setup on GM45) This new change is done as an further, extended courtesy. Tested and works fine. (testing using cbfstool-print) Actual Libreboot policy about binary blobs is nuanced. See: https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html (reduction policy) and: https://libreboot.org/freedom-status.html (implementation) Well, the status page talks about descriptor vs non-descriptor on Intel platforms, and where me_cleaner is used (on platforms that need Intel ME firmware), it regards the descriptored setups to be blob-free if coreboot does not require binary blobs. In this paradigm, microcode updates are not considered to be binary blobs, because they aren't technically software, they're more like config files that just turn certain features on or off within the CPU. However, for lbmk purposes, "noblobs" means that, after the ROM is fully ready to flash on the chip, there will be no blobs in it (except microcode). So for example, an X200 that does not require ME firmware is considered blob-free under this paradigm, even though Libreboot policy regards X230 as equally libre when me_cleaner is used; in this setup, ROMs will not contain "blobfree" in the filename, for X230 (as one example).

Still on Gerrit. ME downloader failed with HP update file, so let's just use Lenovo's instead. Both contain identical ME8_5M_Production.bin files. Tested and working: * Native raminit with both DIMMs * Libgfxinit textmode and framebuffer on both DisplayPorts and VGA * External USB2 and USB3 ports: they all work * USB 3.0 SuperSpeed (rear, 4 ports) * Ethernet * Mini-PCIe WLAN * SATA: 2.5" SSD and optical drive bay * SeaBIOS and GRUB (boot to linux) * PS/2 keyboard and mouse * S3 suspend and resume, wake using USB keyboard * Headphone output, line out, internal speaker * Wake on LAN * Rebooting * CMOS options & nvramcui Untested: * Line in, mic input * MXM graphics card * EHCI debug Not working: * Mini-PCIe USB: I couldn't get it working on vendor BIOS either, so maybe it just isn't present * PS/2 keyboard wake from S3 * mSATA (I have no mSATA drives)
Tested with Johan Ehnberg (johan@molnix.com) The following is tested and confirmed working: - backlight control - touchpad - USB (external, smart card, fingerprint, bluetooth, webcam, WWAN) - touchpad - Wi-Fi - 2,5" SATA - USB 3.0 - SD card - Memory: 2+2 (matched or unmatched), 8+2, 8+8 - internal flashing from libreboot - SeaBIOS and GRUB payloads - Boots Devuan and Ubuntu Untested: - ExpressCard - DVD - dock - external displays - eSATA - trackpoint (not present on this aftermarket keyboard)
This fixes the PCI interrupt routing tables for the E6400 so that the SD card works. It is already merged in upstream but libreboot has not yet updated coreboot.
