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>
2024-04-269020 sff/mt: actually enable the TPM (by default)Leah Rowe
i added mkukri's patch but didn't enable it. this was intentional. this patch enables tpm by default, on all 9020 sff/mt targets. most users probably won't need it, but enabling it won't hurt. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>

2024-04-24haswell: only provide NRI-based ROMs in releasesLeah Rowe
release="n" is set in target.cfg on haswell build targets that use mrc.bin script/update/release exports LBMK_RELEASE="y" script/build/roms skips building a given target if release="n" in target.cfg *and* LBMK_RELEASE="y" you could also do the export yourself before running ./build roms, for example: export LBMK_RELEASE="y" ./build roms all This would skip these ROM images. The native haswell raminit is now stable enough in my testing, that I wish to delete the MRC-based targets. This is in line with Libreboot's Binary Blob Reduction Policy, which states: if a blob can be avoided, it should be avoided. The problem is that users often run the inject script in *lbmk* from Git, instead of from the src release archive. I forsee some users running this on modern lbmk with older release images. If the mrc-based target isn't there, the user may use an NRI-based target name, and think it works; they will insert without MRC. I foresaw this ages ago, which is why Caleb and I ensured that the script checks hashes, and hashes are included in releases. Therefore: for the time being, keep the MRC-based configs in lbmk but do not include images for them in releases. This can be done indefinitely, but I'll probably remove those configs entirely at some point. On the following boards, Libreboot now will *only* provide NRI-based ROM images for the following machines: * Dell OptiPlex 9020 SFF * Dell OptiPlex 9020 MT * Lenovo ThinkPad T440p * Lenovo ThinkPad W541/W540 I now recommend exclusive use of NRI-based images, on Haswell hardware. It's stable enough in my testing, and now supports S3. 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>
