2023-09-04move ifd/gbe configs into config/ifd/Leah Rowe
it doesn't really make sense for them to be under blobs/ - nominally, they are blobs, but they are well-understood data files containing config data, that is easily parsed by tools like ich9show or ifdtool (and tools like bincfg or nvmutil) blobs/ has been re-purposed: this directory no longer exists in lbmk, but it is created (and on .gitignore) when needed, by blobutil thus, the blobs/ directory shall only contain vendor files, and only those files that libreboot scrubs from releases. therefore, build/release/src can (and has been) simplified; it currently copies just the ifd and gbe files from blobs/, selectively, and this logic is quite error prone, requiring maintenance. now, the build/release/src script simply copies config/ (which only ever contains distributable files) and entirely ignores the blobs/ directory the blob download script already creates the required directory, except for the sch5545 download; this is now fixed lbmk code size is slightly smaller, due to this patch 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>
2023-08-31re-add /dev/null redirect on . ${1}Leah Rowe
the error messages that it shows are benign, but users see them and worry that something went wrong this patch reduces the number of people asking pointless questions on irc Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
