2024-04-20update coreboot/haswell (NRI)Leah Rowe
the t440p/w541 configs were re-done from scratch, because the coreboot revisions are nearly two years apart. i also added corebootfb configs. hell updated their patchset. this patchset uses the following patch: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/81948/1 it uses this, along with parent patches in the haswell nri patch series Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2024-04-07add mate's patch for 9020 sff/mt fan controlsLeah Rowe
see: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/81529 what i've merged is patchset 4. i had to rebase it slightly, because the libreboot version has the iommu toggle on cmos configs, which are files that mate's patch also changes, leading to merge conflict.

2024-04-06enable grub payload on libremrc w541/t440pLeah Rowe
the grub payload was previously disabled, because the libre mrc code sets up xhci rather than ehci, and grub did not have xhci support (not natively). libreboot now has xhci support in the grub payload, so enable grub on these configurations. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2024-04-06add t440p/w541 configs using broadwell mrcLeah Rowe
broadwell mrc enables both igpu and dgpu to be enabled at any given time. if the onboard (intel) gpu is set as primary, the logic to disable it is not executed within coreboot; instead, the igpu is used for vga decode. on some t440p/w541 thinkpads, both an intel and nvidia gpu are present. in this setup, the intel gpu must be used for vga, and all output, but rendering can be offloaded to the nvidia gpu (nvidia optimus). optimus would never work on haswell mrc.bin, because it always disables the igpu when a dgpu is present, so a hack exists in coreboot that hides the dgpu from mrc, so that the igpu remains enabled. broadwell mrc doesn't do this, so the option to hide PEG devices has been disabled in these configs. the broadwell mrc has better peg device handling, and can support 16gb modules on broadwell hardware; it may well support these modules on haswell hardware too, though ddr3 sodimms are very hard to find (and expensive). (and currently untested, with this patch) Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2024-04-06add 9020 sff/mt targets that use broadwell mrcLeah Rowe
broadwell mrc has better peg handling and can support 16gb modules on broadwell machines - the blob can be used on haswell machines too, instead of haswell mrc, and it might support 16gb modules on these machines (not yet tested, but using broadwell mrc does at least boot as reliably as haswell mrc anyway) one little quirk with haswell mrc is that it actually handles vga decode, disabling the igpu entirely, when a dgpu is used. the broadwell mrc enables both GPUs and does not handle vga decoding, so we must handle this the usual way; my patch for this was merged upstream and i'm also adding it to libreboot, which currently uses an older coreboot revision. this is needed for dgpu to work. see patch: 0040-nb-haswell-Disable-iGPU-when-dGPU-is-used.patch broadwell mrc may also make dealing with nvidia optimus setups more reliable, on laptops that have nvidia GPUs, but this patch does not add bmrc configs for t440p/w541 NOTE: on t440p/w541 laptops with nvidia graphics, the video output is wired to intel but rendering can be offloaded to nvidia. in this setup, we want vga decode to be done on intel, so i've set these configs to enable CONFIG_ONBOARD_VGA_IS_PRIMARY (set it to y) Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2024-04-05grub xhci supportLeah Rowe
see: https://github.com/9elements/grub/commits/xhci-module-upstreaming-squash_v4/ grub only supports xhci on bios/uefi targets, but not coreboot. some newer machines don't have ps/2 controllers, and boot in a way where ehci isn't available at startup; the controller can't be used by ehci code, there must be xhci support. the code is from Patrick Rudolph working on behalf of 9elements. the code was also sent here for review: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2020-12/msg00111.html however, upstream never merged these patches. libreboot will have to maintain these from now on. the patches have been rebased for use with grub 2.12.

2024-03-27allow users to specify number of build threadsLeah Rowe
lbmk otherwise uses nproc to set the number of build threads, in these places: * generic make commands in script/update/trees * crossgcc make command in script/update/trees the -T0 option is also used in script/update/release, when running tar. with this change, you can do: export LBMK_THREADS=x where x is the number of threads. when you then run lbmk, your chosen number of threads will override the default. this may be useful on a host that does not have a lot of memory.

2024-03-27safer, simpler error handling in lbmkLeah Rowe
in shell scripts, a function named the same as a program included in the $PATH will override that program. for example, you could make a function called ls() and this would override the standand "ls". in lbmk, a part of it was first trying to run the "fail" command, deferring to "err", because some scripts call fail() which does some minor cleanup before calling err. in most cases, fail() is not defined, and it's possible that the user could have a program called "fail" in their $PATH, the behaviour of which we could not determine, and it could have disastrous effects. lbmk error handling has been re-engineered in such a way that the err function is defined in a variable, which defaults to err_ which calls err_, so defined under include/err.sh. in functions that require cleanup prior to error handling, a fail() function is still defined, and err is overridden, thus: err="fail" this change has made xx_() obsolete, so now only x_ is used. the x_ function is a wrapper that can be used to run a command and exit with non-zero status (from lbmk) if the command fails. the xx_ command did the same thing, but called fail() which would have called err(); now everything is $err example: rm -f "$filename" || err "could not delete file" this would now be: rm -f "$filename" || $err "could not delete file" overriding of err= must be done *after* including err.sh. for example: err="fail" . "include/err.sh" ^ this is wrong. instead, one must do: . "include/err.sh" err="fail" this is because err is set as a global variable under err.sh the new error handling is much cleaner, and safer. it also reduces the chance of mistakes such as: calling err when you meant to call fail. this is because the standard way is now to call $err, so you set err="fail" at the top of the script and all is well.

2024-03-02coreboot/dell9020*_12mb: Disable IOMMU by defaultLeah Rowe
Needed to make graphics cards work. Turn it on if you're using only the Intel GPU. With IOMMU *enabled*, graphics cards do not work reliably at all. The cause still needs to be investigated, but the symptoms are graphical corruption on the screen, and Xorg usually crashes. In some cases (on some cards), TTYs can still be used; the payload can still be used reliably, on a graphics card, but Xorg fails to work properly. This could be a bug in Linux drivers, instead of anything that coreboot does (not yet tested in factory BIOS). Leaving it off by default will ensure reliable operation on all setups, whether an iGPU or dGPU is used. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2024-03-02coreboot/haswell: make IOMMU a runtime optionLeah Rowe
It is now possible to disable the IOMMU on Haswell boards, by doing this on your ROM image: ./nvramtool -C libreboot.rom -w iommu=Disable To enable it again, do this: ./nvramtool -C libreboot.rom -w iommu=Enable If not specified, the default behaviour is *on*. A follow-up patch will turn IOMMU *off* by default, on Dell OptiPlex 9020 SFF/MT, by setting it as such in cmos.default. This is to make graphics cards work properly to work around a bug when it's turned on. Leaving the IOMMU enabled is recommended, if it works. It works in most cases, including on 9020 SFF/MT when using the Intel GPU without a graphics card inserted. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>

Specifically the MT versions. The SFF versions will be added separately, in a later commit. See: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/55232 This patch has been added, from patchset 31. It still has some unresolved issues, on that patchset, but it should boot. See commit message there. Of note: I've enabled PCI REBAR, though it's unknown whether it will work (some comments there about it though, on that gerrit page). I've also set CBFS size to 8MB, not the full size of the BIOS region; this is required on the T440p which uses the same mrc.bin file, to get S3 working. TSEG stage cache disabled, as on other Haswell boards. The setup: SeaBIOS-only as first payload, but with GRUB enabled as secondary payload. The _grubonly setup has been enabled here. This way, the config will work on iGPU and dGPU setups without issue. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <info@minifree.org>

2024-01-28update pico-serprog to Riku's new revisionLeah Rowe
Riku introduced three new patches: * Add support for multiple chip selects. This allows you to control multiple chips from the same clip, on systems with dual flash setups, at least theoretically. * Enable pull-up on unused chip selects - pull them high so that chips you connect that to are deactivated while flashing the target chip. This could be used on thinkpad W541 for instance, where miso/mosi have 0ohm between them via the two flash ICs. You could pull the other chip select high. * Documentation for the above, in the pico-serprog readme. This goes in tandem with a patch from Riku, present in the recently integrated flashprog project, namely: commit ddb6d926783d4f9cbee04c7392718ed8f89daa0e Author: Riku Viitanen <riku.viitanen@protonmail.com> Date: Mon Jan 15 19:15:49 2024 +0200 serprog: Add support for multiple SPI chip selects This functionality will therefore be present in the next release of Libreboot.
