2023-09-02coreboot/e6400: support nvidia modelsLeah Rowe
The same ROM images that you flash on Intel GPU variants, are now flashed on Nvidia models. The same ROM will work on both. If an Intel GPU variant is present, libgfxinit is used, and the VGA ROM is used if an Nvidia GPU variant; however, release ROMs will scrub the nvidia option ROM, so release ROMs will only work on Intel GPUs unless you run the blobutil inject command. I decided to no longer have this under WIP, but to put it in master. The issue with it pertains to video drivers, which is not Libreboot's problem. Nouveau crashes under Linux, so use "nomodeset" if it does. The "nv" drivers in BSD systems work very well. The nvidia model of E6400 isn't recommended for other reasons, namely: poor thermal cooling (thermal pad on the GPU) and that Nvidia GPU doesn't get very good performance on any libre drivers anyway. The Intel GPU variant is better, in terms of power efficiency and software support; the intel variant also works with native graphics initialisation in coreboot. This board port already only enables SeaBIOS, which will simply execute the VGA ROM. Blobutil already supports reading the config, detecting that a VGA ROM is needed, because that part of the WIP E6400 branch was already merged in lbmk master.

Intel GPU! The AMD ones will be tested, but assume Intel-only for now. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>

Very nice ivybridge board that supports ECC RAM. NOTE: I couldn't get onboard graphics working yet, but this was confirmed working with a graphics card (in my case nvidia quadra k420) booted in text mode on the SeaBIOS payload. The GRUB payload also works, when loaded from SeaBIOS. Therefore, this is a SeaBIOS-only board (as far as first payload is concerned), but you can pick GRUB from the menu. You could make it "GRUB-only" in practise by setting SeaBIOS boot order to only load GRUB, and disable the SeaBIOS menu. We refer to this as "SeaGRUB". I've made lbmk use biosutilities and uefiextract, to get at the SMSC SCH5545 Environmental Control (EC) firmware. This firmware is needed for fan control. This is automatically downloaded and extracted, from Dell UEFI firmware updates. As with other blobs such as Intel ME, this firmware is then scrubbed by the release build scripts. The blobutil "inject" script can be used to re-insert it. Of note: there is no fixed offset, but no other blobs to be inserted in CBFS either, so the offset when re-inserting on release ROMs should still be the same, and thus the ROM checksums should match, when running blobutil inject.

Still on Gerrit. ME downloader failed with HP update file, so let's just use Lenovo's instead. Both contain identical ME8_5M_Production.bin files. Tested and working: * Native raminit with both DIMMs * Libgfxinit textmode and framebuffer on both DisplayPorts and VGA * External USB2 and USB3 ports: they all work * USB 3.0 SuperSpeed (rear, 4 ports) * Ethernet * Mini-PCIe WLAN * SATA: 2.5" SSD and optical drive bay * SeaBIOS and GRUB (boot to linux) * PS/2 keyboard and mouse * S3 suspend and resume, wake using USB keyboard * Headphone output, line out, internal speaker * Wake on LAN * Rebooting * CMOS options & nvramcui Untested: * Line in, mic input * MXM graphics card * EHCI debug Not working: * Mini-PCIe USB: I couldn't get it working on vendor BIOS either, so maybe it just isn't present * PS/2 keyboard wake from S3 * mSATA (I have no mSATA drives)

for example, files being downloaded have nothing to do with the ME; they are merely compressed, and contain many files in addition to it

rename board configs, and add to sources file the t530/w530 boards in some situations, the files weren't being downloaded

2022-11-28coreboot: add x230edp_12mb, remove x230fhd_12mbAlexei Sorokin
New x230edp_12mb target uses the https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/28950 patchset to add an X230_EDP target to the default coreboot branch. Consequently the "fhd" coreboot branch is no longer needed and has been safely removed.

osboot is now part of libreboot, and will soon shut down. libreboot now conforms to osboot policy.
