NRI is libre raminit
MRC is binary blob raminit
the libre raminit is stable enough now that it's default
the MRC-based targets will be removed in a future release

i initially decided to say unstable, but the default
configuration is reliable; the only caveat is that if
you enable IOMMU, you must only be using intel graphics.
this is already documented in warn.txt files, and on
the website, so it's more than ok to call this stable.
i use one of these myself as my daily driver and it's
rock solid. i haven't had any problems with it. i also
sell these to people with libreboot. no problems.
mark it as stable, ready for a full release.

nitrocaster boards are hard to find nowadays and i'm not
comfortable supporting the knockoff chinese gear; quality
varies greatly, and i can't know how reliable they are.
nitrocaster has been out of business so it's just not
viable to support this mod anymore. in fact, keeping the
eDP-based targets is a liability to libreboot.
regular x220/x230 (non-eDP-modded) are retained. the eDP
modkit from nitrocaster let you use eDP screens instead
of lvds, on thinkpad x220 and x230, letting you use
higher resolution screens.
older lbmk revs can still be used, if you happen to come
across one of these boards. i only recommend using the
official nitrocaster board, if youcan find one unused.
ymmv with the chinese gear. better just use an unmodded
x230 or get a different machine.

angel pons said how to fix it. more info in the patch.
works perfectly. i still see that scancode in dmesg and i guess
i have to assign it to some function that sets software rfkill
hw rfkill is no longer set. it's unblocked, and i can use wifi.
just in time for the libreboot release.

was reported broken on canoeboot 0.1, which uses 2021
coreboot. we use much newer coreboot now in libreboot, but
still, better be cautious. set to release=n.
i'll set status and remove release=n if it works on testing

Use shell scripting in the recipe instead of GNU make's
conditional syntax. This allows the Makefile to work with
the default implementations of make on the BSDs.

Add FreeBSD to the README as it is now supported. Make a note about
using gmake instead of make as the makefile currently uses GNU
extensions to determine build flags based on the OS.

it should be marked unstable, though these machines
are basically reliable; they have certain missing features
and quirky behaviour so it's important not to over-sell it
mark it as unstable, on all of the dell latitudes

The pio.h header, although present on NetBSD, is not necessary, as it
only declares x86 port IO inx()/outx() functions which are not actually
implemented.

This is useful on desktops, where you want GRUB to
automatically start, but you still want access to the
GRUB menu, in the case where you rely on SeaBIOS to
execute the VGA ROM inside your graphics card.

export LBMK_THREADS=x
where x is an integer. this is already supported for
setting the number of build threads, but if not set
it uses nproc.
openbsd doesn't have nproc. default to 1 thread.
now you MUST set threads. e.g. in linux do:
export LBMK_THREADS=$(nproc)
preliminary work is being done to make lbmk run
on openbsd!

set to release="n" for now until the eDP targets
are fixed.
the regular non-eDP targets are stable, and will be
released.

some latitudes still used the old style for variables
in target.cfg, specifically arch="x86_64" - lbmk used to
then check that on a big if/else and translate it to the
correct target name for crossgcc, e.g. i386-elf, arm-eabi
now it just puts the arch directly, in a new variable:
xarch
change arch="x86_64" to xarch="i386-elf" in these files.
also remove a few obsolete variables. should build now.

github is unreliable. i host these files myself.
coreboot uses intel.com again now in the latest revisions, and
intel broke it before. i'm going to start backing up the acpica
releases onto my rsync server from now on, and keep patching
coreboot to use my files.

just to ensure that nothing goes wrong. we don't rely on
the status variable for releases, because there is another
variable, release, that target.cfg files declare, e.g.
release="n"
release="y"
you can just omit the variable, because it defaults to y, so
you only need declare it when it needs to be "n"
