2023-09-03Less cat abuseRiku Viitanen
More than 90% of cats were thus terminated. read (shell built-in) is better at reading, and dogs are better pets. Signed-off-by: Riku Viitanen <riku.viitanen@protonmail.com>
2023-09-03build/release/*: use -T0 in xz, for multithreadingLeah Rowe
The -T option specifies how many threads xz shall use. The -T value of zero shall dictate that xz use so many threads as there are CPUs, on the host system. This will probably speed up the release process a bit. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
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.

2023-09-01handle project downloads in main lbmk scriptLeah Rowe
this means the unified /tmp handling is now provided for in both the former "fetch" and "fetch_trees" script, which are now (respectively): ./update project repo ./update project trees if the fetch scripts weren't cleaning /tmp before, they now are, because lbmk handles it Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2023-08-31only remove microcode in build/release/romsLeah Rowe
libreboot's build system, lbmk, *is* available to use in releases aswell (use the _src tarball), but it is mostly intended for development, in lbmk.git well, there's not much point wasting time / disk space generating no-microcode roms within lbmk they should be generated only at release time, alongside the default ones this patch implements that, thus speeding up the build process and saving disk usage during development the other alternative was to add a new option in build/boot/roms, -m, that would opt in to removing them, but this is extra complexity for something that is ill advised and only provided to appease certain people Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
