2024-05-29do not allow dashes in coreboot target namesLeah Rowe
Command: ./vendor download kcma-d8-rdimm_16mb Output was: include/lib.sh: line 115: kcma-d8-rdimm=config/vendor: No such file or directory That will have to be audited later on, but the recent more stringent error checking in vendor.sh triggered this previously untriggered error message. The error was in fact already occuring before, silently. Anyway, mitigate by renaming all coreboot targets so that they do not contain hyphens in the name. This should avoid triggering errors in that eval command, on line 115 in lib.sh Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>

2024-05-27coreboot: only run GRUB as a secondary payloadLeah Rowe
See: https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbmk/issues/216 Almost all users will be OK running GRUB, but a minority of users have experienced a fatal error pertaining to grub_free() or grub_realloc() (as my investigation of GRUB sources reveal when grepping the error reported in the link above). We don't yet know what the bug is, only that the error occurs, leading to an effective brick if the user has GRUB as their primary payload. So far, it has only been reported on some Intel SandyBridge-based Dell Latitudes in Libreboot, but we can't be too sure. The user reported that memtest86+ passes just fine, and SeaBIOS works; BIOS GRUB also works, which means that the bug is likely only in an area of GRUB that runs specifically on the coreboot payload, so it's probably a driver in GRUB when running on the metal rather than BIOS/UEFI. The build system supports a configuration whereby SeaBIOS is the primary payload, but GRUB is available in the SeaBIOS boot select menu, and an additional configuration is available where GRUB is what SeaBIOS executes first (while still providing boot select); both of these are now the *only* configurations available, on all x86 targets except QEMU. The QEMU target is fine because if the bug occurs there, you can just close QEMU and try a different image. Even after this bug is later identified and fixed, the GRUB source code is vastly over-engineered and there are likely many more such bugs. SeaBIOS is a reliable payload; the code is small and robust. Remember always: Code equals bugs Therefore, this configuration change is likely going to be permanent. This will apply in the next release. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2024-05-11remove all status checks. only handle release.Leah Rowe
the release variable is all we need, turning a target on or off for a given release. the status checks were prone to bugs, and unnecessary; it also broke certain benchmark scripts. it's better to keep the lbmk logic simpler. board status will be moved to the documentation instead.

2024-05-04mark 9020 sff/mt stable for releaseLeah Rowe
i initially decided to say unstable, but the default configuration is reliable; the only caveat is that if you enable IOMMU, you must only be using intel graphics. this is already documented in warn.txt files, and on the website, so it's more than ok to call this stable. i use one of these myself as my daily driver and it's rock solid. i haven't had any problems with it. i also sell these to people with libreboot. no problems. mark it as stable, ready for a full release.

2024-04-26build/roms: report status when building imagesLeah Rowe
export LBMK_VERSION_TYPE=x x can be: stable, unstable in target.cfg files, specify: status=x x can be: stable, unstable, broken, untested if unset, lbmk defaults to "unknown" if LBMK_VERSION_TYPE is set, no confirmation is asked if the given target matches what's set (but what's set in that environmental variable can only be stable or unstable) if LBMK_RELEASE="y", no confirmation is asked, unless the target is something other than stable/unstable "unstable" means it works, but has a few non-breaking bugs, e.g. broken s3 on dell e6400 whereas, if raminit regularly fails or it is so absolutely unreliable as to be unusable, then the board should be declared "broken" untested means: it has not been tested With this change, it should now be easier to track whether a given board is tested, in preparation for releases. When working on trees/boards, status can be set for targets. Also: in the board directory, you can add a "warn.txt" file which will display a message. For example, if a board has a particular quirk to watch out for, write that there. The message will be printed during the build process, to stdout. If status is anything *other* than stable, or it is unstable but LBMK_VERSION_TYPE is not set to "unstable", and not building a release, a confirmation is passed. If the board is not specified as stable or unstable, during a release build, the build is skipped and the ROM is not provided in that release; this is in *addition* to release="n" or release="y" that can be set in target.cfg, which will skip the release build for that target if "n" Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
