|
|
- Add a whitelist entry to board\_enable.c in flashprog, for the
|
2022-11-15 19:59:42 +00:00
|
|
|
ThinkPad R400, T400 and T500
|
2024-01-27 22:35:38 +00:00
|
|
|
- Updated flashprog (to SVN revision 1889)
|
2022-11-15 19:59:42 +00:00
|
|
|
- X200 whitelist patch removed (merged upstream)
|
|
|
|
|
- X200 whitelist modified to include X200S and X200 Tablet
|
|
|
|
|
- libreboot\_util: don't include cmos layout files (not needed
|
|
|
|
|
anymore)
|
|
|
|
|
- **coreboot-libre: backport patches for X200 Tablet digitizer
|
|
|
|
|
support**
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
release archives
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
- disabled generation of txtmode ROM images for now (they will be back
|
|
|
|
|
again in the next release)
|
|
|
|
|
- coreboot-libre: delete unused code (reduce size of src archive)
|
|
|
|

|
length - it was arbitrary and pointless.
|
|
|
|
|
- docs/maintain/: Finish the guide
|
|
|
|
|
- scripts/download/coreboot: use diffs included in libreboot, not
|
|
|
|
|
external gerrit cherry-picks - review.coreboot.org (gerrit) being
|
|
|
|
|
down no longer kills libreboot (backup mirrors of the master
|
|
|
|
|
repository exist)
|

- Update coreboot(again) + merge GM45 hybrid GPU patches - means that
|
|
|
|
|
T400/T500 with the ATI+Intel hybrid GPU setup will work (ATI
|
|
|
|
|
disabled, Intel permanently enabled). power\_on\_after\_fail nvram
|
|
|
|
|
option added to all GM45 boards, defaulting to No, so that plugging
|
|
|
|
|
it AC doesn't boot up the system against the users will. Net20DC is
