2023-12-23don't delete microcode updates in rom imagesLeah Rowe
at present, lbmk can remove microcode updates on images for a given target, if the target specifies microcode_required="n" in target.cfg lbmk then provides images with microcode, and images without, in a given release. although the user can also remove them manually, this just makes it a bit more convenient, for those users who do wish to run without the updates. this functionality is provided only on those platforms where no-microcode is tested. well, this behaviour implements a compromise on libreboot policy, which is to always include microcode updates by default. see: Binary Blob Reduction Policy the *canoeboot* project now exists, developed in parallel with libreboot, and it ships without microcode updates, on the same targets where lbmk also handled this. running without microcode updates is foolish, and should not be encouraged. clean up lbmk by not providing this kludge. the libreboot documentation will be updated, telling such users to try canoeboot instead, or to remove the update from a given libreboot rom - this is still possible, and mitigations such as PECI disablement on GM45 are still in place (and will be kept), so that this continues to work well.

2023-12-21build/roms: remove modify_coreboot_rom()Leah Rowe
don't handle "romtype" at all, in board target.cfg files add /dev/null as pike2008 rom on amd boards. this serves the same purpose, adding them as empty vga roms, to add an empty rom in cbfs. pike2008 cards cause seabios to hang, when their oproms are executed, so we insert a fake rom on i945 thinkpads, use the coreboot config option: CONFIG_INTEL_ADD_TOP_SWAP_BOOTBLOCK when set, this enables the same bootblock copy, for use with bucts. these two cases, namely pike2008 roms and i945 bootblock copies, no longer need to be handled in code Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2023-12-21update/trees: simplified crossgcc handlingLeah Rowe
only call crossgcc for coreboot and u-boot, but use hostcc for everything else. simplify the checking of which architecture to compile for. "arch" in target.cfg files has been modified, to allow further simplification. without this patch, the logic currently only *barely* avoids using crossgcc on things like utils, and only works in practise because, in practise, lbmk only works on x86_64 anyway. the new logic, as per this patch, is simpler and more robust.

2023-11-05coreboot/dell: move e6400 to new tree, dellLeah Rowe
the ddr2 fix broke *ddr3* on gm45 thinkpads in testing, depending on memory modules. this was established by removing patches, re-doing configs etc, on a user's X200 (testing gentoo and freebsd). the X200 kept randomly rebooting or having random glitches. the configs themselves (gm45 thinkpads) will also be re-done, because i found minor issues unrelated, but this patch moves dell e6400 to its own tree. the ddr2 fix is no longer present in coreboot/default, only coreboot/dell. i noticed minor differences in gm45 thinkpad configs, when re-doing the configs, versus what are currently in lbmk master; for instance, vbt was not enabled anymore, on thinkpad x200. modifications to these will be done separately.

2023-11-01build/roms: re-add SeaGRUB build supportLeah Rowe
it didn't work in the past, but it does work nowadays; specifically, it only worked with libgfxinit in the past, but not on VGA ROMs. now it does work on VGA ROMs, tested on e6400 and t1650 so it was enabled there. in this setup, a special image is provided where SeaBIOS is the main payload, but it only loads GRUB; nothing else, every. this is called SeaGRUB. this setup is useful in cases where the user only has a GPU that lacks libgfxinit support.

2023-10-31fix grub keyboard init on dell e6400 and e6430Leah Rowe
also, enable seabios_withgrub on e6400, but not grubfirst; right now, we also support dgpu which would brick on grubfirst. on my tested nvidia model, loading grub from seabios worked, so i'm going to re-add seabios_grubfirst functionality like in older libreboot revisions, enabled selectively on a given target. e6430 currently only has igpu support anyway, but i've done the same thing there, in anticipation of future dgpu support. e6400 and e6430 ec report scancode set 2 with translation by default, but only actually output scancode set 1 grub is trying to use scancode set 2 without scancode translation, so the key inputs get messed up fix it by forcing scancode set 2 with translation, but only on coreboot; other build targets on GRUB will retain the same behaviour as before courtesy goes to Nicholas Chin who inspired me, and helped me to fix this. tested on Nicholas's E6400 and E6430, and my E6400; Riku also tested it on non-Dell, as did I (some thinkpads), and all seems OK. The new behaviour in coreboot GRUB is essentially no different to that of SeaBIOS, which does the same. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
