don't download it. keep it in lbmk.
libreboot moved to codeberg for git hosting,
and i didn't want to keep lugging around an
extra git repo just for one tiny project.
word/setWord no longer mitigates endianness. instead,
all bytes are swapped after reading and before writing the
file, and only if the host is big endian
this improves performance on little endian hosts, which is
most machines, and the code is much simpler, so it's more
robust and less likely to break
mac address endianness made more clear in code, including
with a comment that explains it
(the nvm section contains little endian words, *except* the
mac address whose words are stored big endian)
Bruteforce it. Some executables are just using inno
archival but some are simple LZMA. This patch handles
both of them, and also the event where you have LZMA
compressed files (even LZMA compressed files within
LZMA compressed archives) within any inno/lzma compressed
executable.
It recursively scans inside a vendor update, to find
a me.bin files for neutering with me_cleaner.
This is in preparation for two new ports in Libreboot:
* HP EliteBook 8560w
* Apple MacBook Air 4,2 (2011)
This script can literally be used with multiple vendors now.
It is no longer specific just to Lenovo. I originally did
this and other recent commits to the file, as one big
commit, but I decided to split it all up into small commits.
Top-down order is easier to read, for greater understanding.
What's moved is initialisation. The glue that calls Build_deps
and Download_needed still need to be at the bottom.
When using e.g. -p grub in build/boot/roms, it will
error out. This patch fixes that.
E.g.
./build boot roms t440pmrc_12mb -p grub
Seldom used feature and it was overlooked. Most people
won't use the option that triggered the error.
these boards are almost impossible to find, and have always been
buggy, it doesn't look like there will be any viable testing or
development on it
it's currently broken in master, on coreboot. if someone wants to
fix and re-add to lbmk, they can do that
use older libreboot releases to flash this board, if you wish
(i *am* adding te the issue tracker, a note about this commit,
with a view to re-adding it one day)
MRC caches in a certain way, that Heads was able to work
around in their build system, for this board.
I've adapted the relevant config differences, from their project
as of heads revision 96440b928acb06de5b925ea12014c9c280b23165
The downside is that CBFS now has to be 8MB in size. The upside
is that the machine also boots much faster
See:
f0792117efhttps://github.com/osresearch/heads/pull/1282#issuecomment-1400634600
I have not adapted their IFD changes, versus Libreboot, because theirs
simply has a different version string, and uses different read/write
permission bits for regions as defined in the IFD.
This affects:
t440p_12mb_mrc
w541_12mb_mrc
S3 suspend/resume still broken on these targets which use the libre
MRC init (replacement code by Angel Pons, recently merged in lbmk):
t440p_12mb
w541_12mb
With clever use of FMAP, the rest of the BIOS region might still be
used. However, for our purposes, 8MB CBFS will do just fine.
Heads's changes configure MRC so that caching is handled properly,
for when the machine returns from sleep. Setting CBFS to be any
higher will result in slower boot times, and broken S3 resume, due
to MRC cache misalignment (this is based on my understanding, reading
through the Heads project looking at their research on this).
At some point in the future, Angel's libre MRC code will probably
be finished, and merged, with more fine tuning possible to allow
bigger CBFS sizes.
libre mrc on haswell is quite buggy for now, but works in
a limited fashion
this patch re-adds the old configs, but as _mrc for example
t440p_12mb_mrc instead of t440p_12mb
and t440p_12mb (without _mrc) still uses the libre mrc code
i found that with libre mrc, usb was broken in grub
however, it worked nicely in seabios
for our purposes, doing seabios-only roms in text mode
is best for now
i'm going to re-add mrc.bin, but for t440p_12mb_mrc
and w541_12mb_mrc, as new config names. the regular
t440p_12mb and w541_12mb will continue to use libre
mrc, but the _mrc ones will use mrc.bin and retain the
grub payload in board.cfg
