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>
2024-04-25hp820g2: allow building, but don't do release ROMsLeah Rowe
at present, the inject scripts compress refcode in a way that is not reproducible, so there's no way to verify that the firmware is correct, via checksum verification, when injecting vendor code on release images the lack of reproducibility in recompression will have to be addressed, but the issue is that lbmk does not provide its own sources for compression utilities, instead opting to use the system's own compression utility so the solution might be for lbmk not to use the host's utility, and compile its own, or insert the refcode uncompressed. for now, simply disable the hp 820 g2 target in libreboot releases this uses the same logic recently implemented for excluding mrc-based haswell images in libreboot releases Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2024-01-10NEW MAINBOARD: HP EliteBook 820 G2Leah Rowe
This is of Broadwell platform, one generation above Haswell. Of note: this uses HP Sure Start. Although the flash is 16MB, our CBFS section (and IFD configuration) assumes 12MB flash, so the final 4MB will be left unflashed on installation, after blanking the private flash. The coreboot documents have more information about this. Some minor design changes in lbmk were made, to accomodate this port: Support for extracting refcode binaries added (pulled from Google recovery images). The refcode file is an ELF that initialises the MRC and the PCH. It is also responsible for enabling or disabling the Intel GbE device, where Google does not enable it, but lbmk modifies it per the instructions on the coreboot documentation, so as to enable Intel GbE. Google's recovery image stores the refcode as a stage file, but coreboot changed the format (for CBFS files) after 4.13 so coreboot 4.13's cbfstool is used to extract refcode. This realisation made me also change the script logic to use a cbfstool and ifdtool version matching the coreboot tree, for all parts of lbmk, whereas lbmk previously used only the default tree for cbfstool/ifdtool, on insertion and deletion of vendor files - it was 81dc20e744 that broke extraction of refcode on google's recovery images, where google used an older version of cbfstool to insert the files in their coreboot ROMs. A further backported patch has been added, copying coreboot revision f22f408956 which is a build fix from Nico Huber. Iru Cai submitted an ACPI bugfix after the revision lbmk currently uses, for coreboot/default, and this fix is needed for rebooting to work on Linux 6.1 or higher. This patch has been backported to lbmk, while it still uses the same October 2023 revision of coreboot. Broadwell MRC is inserted at the same offset as Haswell, so I didn't need to tweak that.
