Introduction
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
*This* new release, Canoeboot 20231107, released today 7 November 2023, is
|
||||
based on the recent
|
||||
[Libreboot 20231106](https://libreboot.org/news/libreboot20231106.html) release.
|
||||
The previous release was [Canoeboot 20231103](canoeboot20231103.md), released
|
||||
on 3 November 2023. Today's release has focused
|
||||
on minor bug fixes, plus tweaks to the GRUB payload. It imports certain fixes
|
||||
from the Libreboot 20231106 release, relative to Libreboot 20231101.
|
||||
|
||||
Canoeboot provides boot firmware for supported x86/ARM machines, starting a
|
||||
bootloader that then loads your operating system. It replaces proprietary
|
||||
BIOS/UEFI firmware on x86 machines, and provides an *improved* configuration
|
||||
on [ARM-based chromebooks](../docs/install/chromebooks.html) supported
|
||||
(U-Boot bootloader, instead of Google's depthcharge bootloader). On x86
|
||||
machines, the GRUB and SeaBIOS coreboot
|
||||
payloads are officially supported, provided in varying configurations per
|
||||
machine. It provides an [automated build system](../docs/maintain/) for the
|
||||
[configuration](../docs/build/) and [installation](../docs/install/) of coreboot
|
||||
ROM images, making coreboot easier to use for non-technical people. You can find
|
||||
the [list of supported hardware](../docs/hardware/) in Canoeboot documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
Canoeboot's main benefit is *higher boot speed*,
|
||||
[better](../docs/gnulinux/encryption.md)
|
||||
[security](../docs/gnulinux/grub_hardening.md) and more
|
||||
customisation options compared to most proprietary firmware. As a
|
||||
[libre](https://writefreesoftware.org/) software project, the code can be
|
||||
audited, and coreboot does regularly audit code. The other main benefit
|
||||
is [*freedom* to study, adapt and
|
||||
share the code](https://writefreesoftware.org/), a freedom denied by most boot
|
||||
firmware, but not Canoeboot! Booting Linux/BSD is also [well](../docs/gnulinux/)
|
||||
[supported](../docs/bsd/).
|
||||
|
||||
Work done since last release
|
||||
============================
|
||||
|
||||
This is largely a bugfix release. Most notably, boot issues on GM45 thinkpads
|
||||
present in the 20231103 release have been resolved.
|
||||
|
||||
Dell E6400 on its own tree
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Canoeboot contains a DDR2 raminit patch for Dell Latitude E6400, that increases
|
||||
reliability on coldboot, but it negatively affects other GM45 machines that use
|
||||
DDR3 RAM instead.
|
||||
|
||||
This board is no longer provided by `coreboot/default`. Instead, it is provided
|
||||
by `coreboot/dell`, and the offending patch has been moved there, along with
|
||||
other required patches.
|
||||
|
||||
This means that the Dell Latitude E6400 still works, and quite reliably, but
|
||||
the patch for it will not impact other boards. In some special circumstances,
|
||||
Canoeboot 20231103 randomly crashed or rebooted with certain memory modules,
|
||||
when using on GM45 ThinkPads (ROM images for those machines were then deleted
|
||||
from those release archives). Today's Canoeboot release solves that problem,
|
||||
so these machines can be used reliably once again (and ROM images are provided,
|
||||
in this Canoeboot 20231107 release).
|
||||
|
||||
Coreboot, GRUB, U-Boot and SeaBIOS revisions
|
||||
------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Canoeboot 20231107 and 20231103 are both based on these revisions:
|
||||
|
||||
* Coreboot (default): commit ID `d862695f5f432b5c78dada5f16c293a4c3f9fce6`, 12 October 2023
|
||||
* Coreboot (dell): commit ID `d862695f5f432b5c78dada5f16c293a4c3f9fce6`, 12 October 2023
|
||||
(the `dell` tree does not exist in Canoeboot 20231103, only 20231107)
|
||||
* Coreboot (fam15h\_udimm): commit ID `1c13f8d85c7306213cd525308ee8973e5663a3f8`, 16 June 2021
|
||||
* GRUB: commit ID `e58b870ff926415e23fc386af41ff81b2f588763`, 3 October 2023
|
||||
* SeaBIOS: commit ID `1e1da7a963007d03a4e0e9a9e0ff17990bb1608d`, 24 August 2023
|
||||
* U-Boot: commit ID `4459ed60cb1e0562bc5b40405e2b4b9bbf766d57`, 2 October 2023
|
||||
|
||||
Several other fixes and tweaks have been made, in addition to this and the
|
||||
E6400 patch mentioned above.
|
||||
|
||||
Build system tweaks
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
These changes were made:
|
||||
|
||||
* Documentation now included under `docs/`, not `src/docs/`, in releases,
|
||||
including this one.
|
||||
* nvmutil: Support `make install`, so now nvmutil can be *installed* to the host.
|
||||
Patch courtesy of Riku Viitanen.
|
||||
* Use the UK Mirror Service (University of Kent) mirror for GCC downloads and
|
||||
other GNU toolchain components, when building coreboot. The GNU HTTP server
|
||||
returns 302 status, redirecting to mirrors, but this 302 redirect often fails.
|
||||
* Dell Latitude E6400: Set VRAM to maximum (256MB), rather than 32MB.
|
||||
* GRUB: Don't print an error message about missing modules. We remove a lot of
|
||||
modules in GRUB, because we only need a few, but many GRUB configuration files
|
||||
provided by distros will just load GRUB modules frivilously, that we don't
|
||||
have. In almost all cases, the user can still boot even in such situations.
|
||||
* GRUB: Don't print the missing prefix error on screen (normally seen when
|
||||
running GRUB in text mode). The prefix is actually being set, and these
|
||||
messages are benign. The message just annoys/confuses some people, so it has
|
||||
been hidden by modifying GRUB not to display it at all.
|
||||
* GM45 and i945 coreboot configurations were re-made from scratch. In testing,
|
||||
certain defaults set by upstream were being overridden unnecessarily by cbmk,
|
||||
so they were re-made from scratch. When Canoeboot updates the coreboot
|
||||
revision, `make oldconfig` is used on each configuration file, which is
|
||||
usually OK, but every now and then we re-do them again. (the alternative is
|
||||
to use defconfigs, not full configs, but that has other drawbacks)
|
||||
* Untitled static site generator *documentation* also included in the release.
|
||||
* Untitled static site generator now included in releases, alongside the
|
||||
included Canoeboot documentation (website files, and images).

The following additional commits were picked, which are present in Libreboot's
|
||||
Git repository *after* the Libreboot 20231106 release upon which
|
||||
Canoeboot 20231107 is based:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
c4d90087 add grub mods: diskfilter,hashsum,loadenv,setjmp
|
||||
d0d6decb re-add grub modules: f2fs, json, read, scsi, sleep
|
||||
86608721 nvmutil: print usage
|
||||
f12f5c3a nvmutil: fix makefile
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is a very conservative changelog, because this is largely a bugfix release.
