2024-05-20Fix E6400 display issue with 1440 x 900 panelNicholas Chin
The E6400 uses a 100 MHz reference clock on DPLL_REF_SSCLK, whereas libgfxinit assumed that the reference was always 96 MHz. The frequency difference caused by a 100 MHz reference with PLL config values calculated assuming a 96 MHz reference were not significant enough to cause noticable issues with the more common 1280 x 800 panels, but are enough to matter for the 1440 x 900 panels which use a higher pixel clock. This only affected the pre-OS graphics environment provided by libgfxinit, as Linux drivers would determine the reference clock frequency based on data in the VBT. Fix this by making the reference clock frequency in libgfxinit configurable for GM45 based on a new coreboot Kconfig, which is set to 100 MHz for the E6400.

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.

2024-04-26build/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>
2024-01-25update coreboot/dell to same rev as defaultLeah Rowe
re-use the same patches, and drop the same patches. this tree uses hell's special ddr2 fix, which we apply for the dell latitude e6400. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2023-12-27update/trees: further simplify crossgcc handlingLeah Rowe
arch no longer needs to be set, on multi-tree projects, and it has been renamed to xarch the new behaviour is: if xarch is set, treat it as a list of crossgcc targets and go through the list. set the first one as the target, for what lbmk builds, but build all of the defined crossgccc targets crossgcc_ada is now xlang, and defines which languages to build, rather than whether to build gcc-gnat Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2023-12-23dell/e6400nvidia_4mb: new configuration (nvidia)Leah Rowe
the e6400_4mb target has libgfxinit and (if seabios) vgarom initialisation, but has issues on the nvidia model, even when using nomodeset. with this target, e6400nvidia_4mb, only the vgarom initialisation is used, libgfxinit is disabled. on nvidia models, this one should work a little bit better. specifically: nouveau crashes on this machine, with libreboot installed, but you can use nomodeset. however, when libgfxinit is also enabled, nomodeset no longer works properly. so this target disables all video initialisation in coreboot. only seabios will initialise anything video-related, by executing the vga option rom.
