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.
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.
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
courtesy of Angel Pons from the coreboot project
this uses the following patch set from gerrit, as yet
unmerged (in coreboot master) on this date:
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/64198/5
logic for downloading mrc blobs has been deleted from
lbmk, as this is now completely obsolete (for haswell
boards)
if other platforms are added later that need mrc.bin,
then logic will be re-added again for that
some checks check for specific utils, which are
then used to indicate the existence of other utils,
which means that building them singularly, as is
currently done, may result in errors later if another
tool doesn't exist compiled yet
this is an obscure bug, fixed by this patch. more of a
workaround really. a dirty hack. when checking for any
of the coreboot utilities required, build all coreboot
utilities that are possibly required
the utilities are small enough that this does not add
much extra time to build, and in most cases, all of them
will be needed anyway
By making lbmk fully POSIX-compliant, it will be easier to port lbmk to
other systems implementing POSIX such as Alpine Linux and FreeBSD.

Copy the resources/scripts/build/clean/crossgcc script and adapt it to
run "make distclean" on U-Boot build trees. Some build artifacts persist
after the run, so also run "git clean -fdx" if we can.

U-Boot build dependencies are listed on their online documentation [1],
but the listed Debian packages also include test-only dependencies.
While installing dependencies, install the packages necessary to build
U-Boot, except for the test-only ones I could identify.

U-Boot runtime configuration is done with a device-tree file, which is
built alongside the executable in the upstream build system, and must be
available to U-Boot at runtime.
This device-tree is normally not linked into the default "u-boot" ELF
file. So far we have been handling it by re-creating a "u-boot.elf" from
the raw binary parts by setting REMAKE_ELF, and using that as the
coreboot payload. Unfortunately, that fails to build for x86 boards,
more specificly the "coreboot" boards upstream.
It's also possible (but discouraged) to set OF_EMBED to embed the
device-tree file into the U-Boot itself, in which case we could use the
"u-boot" file as the payload on the "coreboot" boards. Add support for
using the "u-boot" file as the payload if "u-boot.elf" doesn't exist.

this is a hangover from pre-osboot-merge libreboot. the idea
was to distribute fsdg uboot archives
lbmk has uboot support, and releases will simply
include uboot in the main src archive like with everything else
the --nuke option in ifdtool will be used instead, to nuke
the ME regions in specific rom sets (and cbfstool will be
used to delete mrc.bin files from rom sets)
the new method being implemented is heavier on disk io, but
simplifies lbmk, and disk io could still be optimised in
the following ways:
* when copying roms from boards with ME in them, use
ifdtool --nuke to get filename.rom.new, and *move* (not copy)
filename.rom.new to the new destination (for use with tar)
* possibly modify ifdtool to make efficient use of mmap for
disk i/o; it currently loads entire roms into an allocated
buffer in memory
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
for users, that is
buggy, buggy, buggy, buggy, buggy, buggy, buggy
full of bugs, these boards never worked properly. i got ripped
off with these.
now i'm ripping off the band aid
use dasharo if you want d16 stuff. i'm done with it.
python2 is eol and the only thing that needed it was build scripts
inside tianocore, back in osbmk days when tianocore was supported
in the (osboot) build system. nothing else requires it, so chuck it
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.

The code that compiles coreboot crossgcc changes the working directory
to the coreboot directory, and the following code cannot find the lbmk
scripts that it needs to run. Compile ARMv7 and AArch64 cross compilers
in a subshell like in the x86 case so the rest of the script can work.

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.

Add a 'v2022.07' pseudo-board for the U-Boot download script with the
default blobs list, and mark the version as supported in u-boot-libre
release script.
Signed-off-by: Alper Nebi Yasak <alpernebiyasak@gmail.com>
The U-Boot download script is designed to help with releasing
u-boot-libre and it can only prepare a generic U-Boot v2021.07 tree.
However, we will need to build board-specific versions of U-Boot to be
able to use it as a coreboot payload effectively.
As a first step toward that, make the download script prepare per-board
copies of U-Boot v2021.07. Then, add a 'v2021.07' pseudo-board for the
u-boot-libre release script to work on.
The u-boot-libre deblob script hash ends up chaning due to copying my

The u-boot-libre tarball contents' mtimes are an unconventional value
due to timezone confusion. For reproducibility, timestamps like these
are usually set by a SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH which is respected by both
coreboot and U-Boot. Use it in the u-boot-libre release script as well,
and properly set the mtimes to the Unix epoch when it's not defined.

The u-boot-libre release script copies the blobs list into the release
