New x230edp_12mb target uses the
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/28950 patchset to add an

Consequently the "fhd" coreboot branch is no longer needed and has
been safely removed.
the intended use-case scenario was one in which vga rom initialisation
would be used, on desktop configurations, but without coreboot itself
handling vga rom initialisation, instead leaving that task to seabios
it was assumed that grub, when running on the bare metal with
build option "--with-platform=coreboot" would be able to display
like this, but it is not so when tested
in such setups (add-on gpu with grub payload), it is necessary to
extract the video bios and insert it into the coreboot rom, having
coreboot handle such execution. this is beyond the scope of lbmk,
in context of automated building, because we cannot reliably predict
things such as PCI IDs
do away with this build option entirely, for it does not serve the
intended purpose. it will be necessary to run PC GRUB instead (build
option --with-platform=i386-pc). PC GRUB can still read from CBFS,
and you could provide it as a floppy image file inside CBFS for
SeaBIOS to execute. in this setup, GRUB would function as originally
intended by the seabios_withgrub option; such a configuration is
referred to as "SeaGRUB" by the libreboot project, and experimentation
was done with it in the past, to no avail
it's better to keep things simple, in the libreboot project. simpler

In recent coreboot versions, running distclean started to erase the
cbfstool binary we built earlier in the util/cbfstool dir via the
cbutils build script call. The coreboot build puts it in a different
directory, and the roms build script can't find it when trying to add
payloads to the roms. This doesn't make the script fail (because set -e
is stupid like that), and the build appears to succeed if you don't look
close enough to see the "cbfsutil not found" error.
Build the coreboot utils we want at the places we want them after
calling distclean, so that we can actually use cbfsutil and avoid
silently-broken roms with newer coreboot versions.

This enables embedding U-Boot into the coreboot roms as the payload. For
now, the ELF file generated by enabling CONFIG_REMAKE_ELF is used, which
includes the U-Boot binary and the board-specific device-tree file. It
might be better to use the FIT payload support for U-Boot, but that was
reportedly broken and is not tested yet.
Coreboot boards can specify payload_uboot="y" in their board.cfg to
enable building a rom with U-Boot as the payload, which is built from
the U-Boot board with the same name. Boards can further specify a
uboot_config option, to choose which board-specific config file U-Boot
should be built with.

This enables building U-Boot for boards which have config files in
resources/u-boot, and copying built files that could be usable to make
coreboot payloads. Right now, there is no such board in this repo.
The most important file here is "u-boot.elf", which is a combination of
the U-Boot binary and the appropriate device-tree file for the board.
Building this needs CONFIG_REMAKE_ELF=y on the U-Boot part, and using
this with CONFIG_PAYLOAD_ELF=y on the coreboot build works fine.
Note that this isn't enough to make U-Boot-only releases, since
low-level prerequisites like arm-trusted-firmware aren't passed in to
the U-Boot build system. Coreboot builds its own copy of TF-A and sets
it up on the board, so using these U-Boot builds as payloads should
still work.

The U-Boot download script is designed to help with releasing

However, we will need to build board-specific versions of U-Boot to be

for.
Here we added the '--help' and '--list-boards' arguments, so it
should not be an issue as it is extremely unlikely that a board
would be called '--help' or '--list-boards'.
- All the other scripts don't use any arguments so passing --help
should not conflict with the existing usage.

If the script is named u-boot-stable-src-release and that users see an
u-boot-libre tarball they will not make the link between both unless
we rename the script.

Many people using FSDG compliant distributions or wanting to use one
are already familiar with linux-libre. This change renames the
resulting tarball to u-boot-libre to make it easier for people to
understand the goal of this tarball.
In addition we also rename the version from v2021.07 (which is the git
tag corresponding to the release) to 2021.07 as u-boot upstream
tarballs use that.
The revision wasn't bumped as we didn't have any releases of
u-boot-libre yet.

Once the tarball are released, it will enable distributions to use
these tarballs to produce deblobbed u-boot packages.
Note that the produced tarball is not reproducible yet. Because of
that it has to be trusted.
During a release, it's a good idea to sign the uncompressed tarball as
the various compression formats and associated tools make different
tradeoffs.
For instance with xz, xz -9e tends to compress really well with the
the most used xz[1] implementation, and most GNU/Linux users probably
already have it installed, but and the drawbacks is that the format is
very fragile[2].
The lzip format is more suited for long term archiving but its most
packaged implementation[3] is less likely to be already installed by
users than more well known formats like xz, bzip2 or gzip.
Being able to add more compression formats after the release is also
useful, for instance to accommodate different build systems or use
cases (like being able to build u-boot with less dependencies in
distributions like Guix, or building u-boot directly on devices which
don't have enough RAM for xz for instance).

hardcode everything. in practise, the new logic will work just the same in
almost all cases, for most people, but it works around performance issues in
grub. cleanup of grub.cfg will be done in the next commit
On many boards, grub takes a very long time to
search for a grub.cfg file on the disk.
The problem is the search_grub function which
takes a long time to complete.
I (vitali64) studied the grub.cfg from 2016 and
the grub.cfg from 2021 and optimized the
grub.cfg. It should be faster now.
Coreboot is enabling PECI on these CPUs which, according to Intel erratum, must
only be done after loading microcode updates, otherwise the CPUID feature set
becomes corrupted. That's my understanding, and I think this is why SpeedStep
is broken. To be specific, it could but but operating systems no longer detect
that the feature is supported. In any case, belgin on IRC found the commit in
coreboot, after a bisect, enabling PECI. This commit in Libreboot adds a patch,
reverting coreboot's PECI patch.
tianocore is a liability for the libreboot project. it's a bloated mess, and
unreliable, broken on many boards, and basically impossible to audit.
i don't trust tianocore, so i'm removing it.
4mb and 8mb users can just pad their roms to 16mb, using the instructions on
<https://libreboot.org/faq.html#how-do-i-pad-a-rom-before-flashing>
maintaining them in lbmk is a waste of time, and also a hazard because it's a
lot of duplicated labour when making any changes, which could result in awful
mistakes being made
There is already a separate menuentry for USB, and most people don't boot their
installed system from USB anyway. This will result in faster boot speeds.
mitigate missing characters in unifont for border/arrow characters. this saves
space because now it is no longer necessary to add a custom font
the background added has the libreboot logo on it, and it's 10kb in size unlike
the old gnulove background that was hundreds of KB
These option ROMs are known to cause a system hang. If you insert an empty
option ROM into CBFS, it disables any option ROM loading for those devices
when using SeaBIOS.
this is a compromise. i was going to do 30 for desktops, 1 for laptops.
however, some laptop users complain about the 1 second timeout being too fast.
10 seconds should just about please everyone.
This fixes issue 3:
https://notabug.org/libreboot/lbmk/issues/3
In this issue, GM45 laptops such as X200/T400 will hang on reboot (normal boot
works, and shutting down works too).
2MiB and 16MiB were the only flash sizes supported. 4 and 8MiB have been
added.
Now there are only libgfxinit_txtmode configs.
Use seabios_withgrub or seabios_grubfirst ROMs if you wish to use an add-on
GPU.
this is forked from the "libre" branch in osboot, which is itself a libre,
deblobbed fork of osboot, a blobbed up fork of libreboot
libreboot needed to be purged clean. this is the new libreboot development
repository. the old one has been abandoned
