It is specifically a *coreboot distribution*, +in the same way that Debian is a Linux distribution. It provides an automated +build system to produce coreboot ROM images with a variety of payloads such as +GNU GRUB or SeaBIOS, with regular well-tested releases to make coreboot as easy +to use as possible for non-technical users. From a project management perspective, +this works in *exactly* the same way as a Linux distro, providing a source-based +package manager (called lbmk) which patches sources and compiles coreboot images. +It makes use of [coreboot](https://www.coreboot.org/) for hardware initialisation, +and then a payload such as [SeaBIOS](https://www.seabios.org/SeaBIOS) +or [GNU GRUB](https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/) to boot your operating +system; on ARM(chromebooks), we provide *U-Boot* (as a coreboot payload). + +For Libreboot 20241205, today's release, U-Boot is *also* provided as an +optional coreboot payload on x86 machines. This provides a sensible UEFI +implementation, useful for booting Linux/BSD systems more easily. More +information available on the [U-Boot x86 page](../docs/uboot/uboot-x86.md). + +This page lists all changes made since the *Libreboot 20241008* release. Since +it's a stable release, there has been a more conservative focus on fixing bugs +and in general polishing, though several interesting features have been added, +in addition to numerous new mainboards. + +Summarised list of changes +========================== + +Board support +------------- + +The following boards have been added since the Libreboot 20240612 release: + +* **[Lenovo ThinkPad T480](../docs/install/t480.md)** support, implemented by + Mate Kukri with testing and hardware logs provided by Leah Rowe. +* **[Lenovo ThinkPad T480S](../docs/install/t480.md)** support, implemented by + Mate Kukri with testing and hardware logs provided by Leah Rowe. +* **[Dell OptiPlex 780 USFF](../docs/install/dell780.md)** support, implemented + by Nicholas Chin with testing and hardware logs provided by Lorenzo Aloe. +* **[Dell OptiPlex 780 MT](../docs/install/dell780.md)** support, implemented by + Nicholas Chin with testing and hardware logs provided by Lorenzo Aloe. + +Revision updates +================ + +In descending order from latest changes to earliest changes: + +* Updated to Mate Kukri's rewritten release of `deguard`, which now works + generally for any MEv11-based board, whereas the previous version contained + hacky hardcoded logic for only the Dell OptiPlex 3050 Micro. In this Libreboot + release, deguard supports the 3050, but also the ThinkPad T480 and T480S, + providing machine-specific ME configurations for each mainboard. Mate's new + deguard implementation essentially does the same thing as Intel's FITC tool, + though with a much more terse and minimalist design. It could be expanded for + many other things in the future, related to Intel ME. +* Updated U-Boot to v2024.10 release on ARM64 - and also added this revision + for x86 coreboot payloads, to provide UEFI on 64-bit x86 machines. The ARM64 + coreboot payload is maintained by Alper Nebi Yasak, and the x86 coreboot + payload is principally maintained by Simon Glass. +* Updated the Dell OptiPlex 3050 Micro port to use a newer coreboot revision, + which includes a fix adding PWM fan control, among other things. NOTE: This + was later obsoleted, because OptiPlex 3050 Micro support was merged upstream + and Libreboot switched to the upstream revision instead of Gerrit. +* Updated SeaBIOS to latest revision as of 17 October 2024. +* Bumped flashrom to revision d128a0a, which includes a fix for Macronix flash + chips on ThinkPad W500 whereby it had previously used incorrect erase commands. + +Feature changes +--------------- + +In descending order from latest changes to earliest changes: + +* Implemented an auto-boot timeout on U-Boot payloads, for both ARM and x86. + This is implemented in the bootflow menu, so that the system will auto-boot + what is found after a few seconds. Previously, the user had to press enter, + making headless operation impractical. If the countdown is interrupted with + a keypress, it is disabled until the next reboot. The current countdown + delay is 8 seconds, though the U-Boot patch sets a default of 30, which + Libreboot then overrides via defconfig option. +* `rom.sh`: Support creating SeaUBoot payload setups. This is where SeaBIOS + loads U-Boot from SeaBIOS first, unless interrupted by the ESC menu, whereby + the user can select an alternative option, such as direct device booting from + SeaBIOS, or the GRUB payload instead. This was done, to mitigate potential + instability in U-Boot, since U-Boot is much more heavily tested so it provides + a sensible fallback just in case. This could also be regarded as a preventative + bug fix, from the perspective of a user. +* Experimental U-Boot payload on both 32- and 64-bit x86 setups. The 64-bit + payload is chainloaded from SeaBIOS and the 32-bit one from GRUB. This is + useful for booting BSD systems; for example, GPT partitioned OpenBSD can be + booted with U-Boot, whereas the SeaBIOS payload would require MBR partitioning. +* Imported Riku Viitanen's `int` tool, which was used for debugging MXM + handling on the HP EliteBook 8560w port; the MXM is a data section provided + by the system BIOS on mobile systems that use MXM graphics cards. The data + describes ports, power management and so on. This was needed to make MXM cards + work reliably. +* Imported Riku Viitanen's `gpio-scripts` fork, which parses inteltool output + for providing GPIO configuration on new coreboot ports; note that from Skylake + onward, `intelp2m` is used instead, but Libreboot does not directly import + the `intelp2m` utility (it is included via coreboot instead). +* Imported Riku Viitanen's `mxmdump` utility, for extracting MXM configuration + on mobile graphics cards. This was used when implementing MXM support on + the HP EliteBook 8560w. + +Configuration changes +--------------------- + +In descending order from the latest changes to the earliest changes: + +* Disabled U-Boot on ThinkPad T480, because it's currently buggy there; more + boards will have U-Boot tweaks made to them, in subsequent hotfixes to + the Libreboot 20241205 release, and hotfixes to U-Boot itself are also likely, + since U-Boot still requires a lot more testing. U-Boot does work quite well + on a number of tested mainboards; if yours works, or doesn't work, please get + in touch with the Libreboot project, so that a tally can be kept. +* Added Libreboot branding/versioning to the U-Boot bootflow menu, showing + the Libreboot logo instead of the U-Boot one, and with a purple background + colour in the console, matching the style used by Libreboot. +* U-Boot (ARM): Alper Nebi Yasak enabled USE with a preboot command at startup. + This is so that USB keyboards and external disks can be used during the + boot process; this would have been previously enabled much later in the boot + process. +* Enabled the coreboot serial console on these targets: Thinkpad X60, HP + Elite 8200 SFF, HP EliteBook 8460p, HP EliteBook 8560w. +* Enabled U-Boot x86 payload on almost every coreboot board; basically, all + of the ones with a native coreboot framebuffer (libgfxinit). +* Removed `coreboot/dell7` (for 3050 Micro) and merged it into a new + tree, `coreboot/next` instead, which was (for this release) later updated to + the latest coreboot revision from a few days prior to the release. The `next` + branch contains OptiPlex 780 ports and the Kaby Lake machines such as + OptiPlex 3050 Micro or ThinkPad T480/T480S. +* Removed the FSP submodule from `coreboot/default`, because it's currently + used in `coreboot/next` instead (for Kaby Lake machines). +* Enabled support in coreboot, on Dell OptiPlex 3050 Micro, for Coffee Lake CPUs. + With a special pin mod (currently untested as of 5 December 2024), Kaby Lake + machines can make use of 8th-gen Coffee Lake CPUs, which offer greater + performance and power efficiency. + +Bug fixes +--------- + +The following bug fixes have been merged (in descending order from the latest +changes to the earliest changes): + +* `script/trees`: Reset the PATH environmental variable per target, to what it + was when the script was first called. This is because PATH is manipulated + when dealing with crossgcc, exporting it prior to running a given build + process, if the current project/target enables cross compilation. This bug + didn't cause any issues in practise, so this is a preventative bug fix, + because projects that use the crossgcc compiler all set `xarch` properly, + and none of the projects that aren't cross compiled use special prefixes + in their toolchain references, at least as of 5 December 2024. +* Add U-Boot first, on x86 coreboot targets, even though it doesn't execute + first, because U-Boot has to be inserted at a specific offset. This avoids + potential overlap errors in cbfstool, if it were to be added later on. This + bug didn't cause any issues in practise, so it is theoretical in nature and + therefore a preventative bug fix. +* `rom.sh`: Removed redundant shebang, which didn't technically cause any + problems, but it's technically a bug since this is not provided as a main + script, and must never be executed directly, instead only to be executed by + other scripts. +* Added missing `openssl-devel-engine` to Fedora 41 build dependencies. +* U-Boot: Merged an x86 patch from Simon Glass, that makes U-Boot skip clearing + the VESA display an startup, since this is already done by the VESA driver. + In some cases, you may want to keep what was previously on the screen, like + for logos and such. We currently do not use U-Boot on VESA setups in Libreboot, + as of 5 December 2024. +* U-Boot: Merged an x86 patch from Simon Glass, that makes U-Boot silently + disable serial console output, where one is not available; previously, it + would crash if one wasn't available, on x86 machines. +* `script/trees`: Unset the `CROSS_COMPILE` environmental variable, to fix an + issue whereby projects that honour it might be wrongly cross compiled where + a previous export of that variable was made; for example, setting it on + arm64 U-Boot and then compiling x86 U-Boot, where the latter currently relies + on the host's x86\_64 toolchain, on an x86\_64 host. +* Enabled the legacy 8254 timer on Dell OptiPlex 3050 Micro, to work around a + hanging bug in SeaBIOS. This board was previously GRUB only, but now once again + uses a more flexible SeaGRUB setup like other mainboards do. The static option + table was also disabled. +* Merged a patch from Nicholas Chin, that tells the MEC5035 EC to send a correct + shutdown signal to the operating system when the power button is pressed. + Prior to this fix, pressing the power button on Dell Latitude laptops would + result in the system turning off, but the OS would be unaware of this fact + so file systems (for example) would not be cleanly unmounted. +* Merged a patch from Mate Kukri, fixing PWM fan controls on the Dell OptiPlex + 3050 Micro. Previously, the fans always ran at a very low speed even under + stress conditions, leading to over-heating; the system now runs reliably. +* Removed end slashes in repository links within `config/git`, because of + how caching works in Libreboot; fewer projects now fail to cache, making + the download process more redundant and fault tolerant at build time when + downloading upstream sources. +* `vendor.sh`: Don't use the `x_` wrapper for handling errors while changing + GbE MAC addresses, because a file path is provided as argument, and the `x_` + wrapper currently does not handle globbing; instead, the `$err` function is + used for returning error status. +* `vendor.sh`: Properly handle error status when returning from deguard's + RUNME script (**This change was later obsoleted when deguard was rewritten, + and Libreboot imported the newly rewritten version - the new code and handling + of it is much more robust**) +* Added missing `python3-devel` to Fedora 40 build dependencies. + +General code cleanup +-------------------- + +In descending order from the latest changes to the earliest changes: + +* Removed unnecessary coreboot submodule configs, for trees that no + longer exist such as `coreboot/haswell` or `coreboot/dell7`. +* Removed the following unnecessary coreboot patches in the default tree: + VRAM patches (VRAM allocation is dynamic in modern OSes, so the fixed higher + size merely wastes system RAM needlessly on Intel GPUs when not a lot of VRAM + is needed). Removed redundancy patches for coreboot's buildgcc download logic, + because lbmk now handles this outside of coreboot. + +Git log +======= + +This log is relative to Libreboot 20241008: + +``` +*
