% Libreboot 20221214 released!

The last Libreboot release, version 20220710, was released on 10 July
|
|
|
|
|
in 2021. *This* new release, Libreboot 20221214, is released today on December
|
|
|
|
|
14th, 2022. This is intended to be a *testing* release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release is based on the osboot merger that happened last month. Many
|
|
|
|
|
new boards are now supported!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many ARM-based chromebooks have also been added, and they were added just
|
|
|
|
|
before the osboot merge.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Both the osboot merge and ARM chromebooks (with u-boot payload) were
|
|
|
|
|
mentioned in the [osboot/libreboot merge news post](merge.md) back in
|
|
|
|
|
November 2022.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is marked as a *testing* release, but most/all boards should be fairly
|
|
|
|
|
stable. Prior to the osboot/libreboot merge, a separate osboot release was
|
|
|
|
|
planned, but the merger was decided upon instead. This release is essentially
|
|
|
|
|
what osboot would have been, had it gone for a separate release. New releases
|
|
|
|
|
conform to osboot standard, for all boards.
|
|
|

|
|
|
Build from source
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*This* release was build-tested on Debian 11. Your mileage may vary, with
|
|
|
|
|
other distros. Portability is very much a goal for a future release; in
|
|
|
|
|
particular, I want to port the Libreboot build system and everything it uses
|
|
|
|
|
to build properly on OpenBSD, but I'm also interested in non-GNU Linux distros
|
|
|
|
|
such as Alpine Linux.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Much of the Libreboot build system relies on GNU-specific features, in the
|
|
|
|
|
BASH implementation of `sh`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build-testing of x86 ROM images has been done on Arch Linux, latest version
|
|
|
|
|
as of November 2022, but ARM was not tested at that time; it should simply be
|
|
|
|
|
a matter of dependencies needed in pacman, so it should be possible to use it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Work done since last release

New boards, x86
|
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This list *may not be complete*, but it is as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ASUS p2b\_ls/p3b\_f added, for testing with [PCBox](https://pcbox-emu.xyz) -
|
|
|
|
|
these ROM images achieve perfect raminit and jump to payload in the emulator,
|
|
|
|
|
but VGA ROM initialisation does not yet work.
|
|
|
|
|
* QEMU (arm64 and x86\_64) images added, for testing payloads and so on.
|
|
|
|
|
* lenovo/t430 (thinkpad)
|
|
|
|
|
* lenovo/x230 (thinkpad)
|
|
|
|
|
* lenovo/x230edp (e.g. nitrocaster FHD mod kit)
|
|
|
|
|
* lenovo/t440p (thinkpad)
|
|
|
|
|
* lenovo/w541 (thinkpad)
|
|
|
|
|
* lenovo/x220 (thinkpad) (also works with x220 tablet)
|
|
|
|
|
* lenovo/t420 (thinkpad)
|
|
|
|
|
* lenovo/x230 tablet (thinkpad)

GA-G41M-ES2L ROMs
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GA-G41M-ES2L ROM images are back, but your mileage may vary. Only the
|
|
|
|
|
SeaBIOS payload is enabled, on this board.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No lbmk changes were done for this, because the ROMs were simply excluded
|
|
|
|
|
in the previous release, but this board was not deleted from lbmk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This board is known to be problematic in general, so don't expect flawless
|
|
|
|
|
operation. Issues like slow boot, unreliable raminit, video issues, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
Only ATA emulation is supported, on the SATA connectors (no AHCI) so don't
|
|
|
|
|
expect to make a nice RAID10 SSD virtual server host or something like that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New boards, ARM
|
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: These boards use u-boot payload, instead of depthcharge.
|
|
|
|
|
As of this release day, no documentation yet exists for these
|
|
|
|
|
boards in Libreboot, but they are as follows (list may not be
|
|
|
|
|
complete):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Samsung Chromebook 2 13" (peach-pi)
|
|
|
|
|
* Samsung Chromebook 2 11" (based on peach\_pit in coreboot)
|
|
|
|
|
* HP Chromebook 11 G1 (google/daisy)
|
|
|
|
|
* Samsung Chromebook XE303 (google/daisy)
|
|
|
|
|
* HP Chromebook 14 G3 (google/nyan\_blaze)
|
|
|
|
|
* Acer Chromebook 13 (CB5-311, C810) (google/nyan\_big)
|
|
|
|
|
* ASUS Chromebit CS10 (google/veyron\_mickey)
|
|
|
|
|
* ASUS Chromebook Flip C100PA (google/veyron)
|
|
|
|
|
* ASUS Chromebook C201PA (google/veyron\_speedy)
|
|
|
|
|
* ASUS Chromebook Flip C101 (google/gru)
|
|
|
|
|
* Samsung Chromebook Plus (v1) (google/gru)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These ARM boards are all Chromebooks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This work on the Chromebooks and u-boot integration is courtesy
|
|
|
|
|
of Alper Nebi Yasak (`alpernebbi` on libreboot IRC), who made
|
|
|
|
|
extensive changes to the u-boot source code to make this work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In these configurations, u-boot is a *payload of coreboot*.
|
|
|
|

Removed boards
|
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ASUS KGPE-D16, KCMA-D8 and KFSN4-DRE are removed, because raminit
|
|
|
|
|
never worked reliably on these boards to begin with and they were
|
|
|
|
|
barely maintained anymore. Use an older release of Libreboot, if
|
|
|
|
|
you still want to use these boards.

osbmk Git changes
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Osboot merged with the Libreboot project in November 2022, and the osboot
|
|
|
|
|
website shut down, redirecting to the Libreboot one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's important to show the osboot changes aswell. Osboot only became part of
|
|
|
|
|
Libreboot last month, but the "reboot" of the osboot project happened around
|
|
|
|
|
the start of 2022, when it was put back in sync with Libreboot at the time,
|
|
|
|
|
so changes from then to now will be showed. The *last* change in osboot as
|
|
|
|
|
shown below is the revision that got merged with lbmk:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To be more clear: on 19 December 2021, osboot got nuked and re-forked from
|
|
|
|
|
scratch, relative to Libreboot, so the earliest revisions in the log below
|
|
|
|
|
are Libreboot from that time (forked from lbmk
|
|
|
|
|
revision `c3a66c32750fa4a9a90ddb6383b09fdfb6ff77f5`), so this is actually
|
|
|
|
|
a full list of all osboot-related changes that became part of Libreboot
|
|
|
|
|
in the osboot/libreboot merge last month:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(some of them are identical changes to lbmk, because efforts *were* made at
|
|
|
|
|
the time to keep osboot/libreboot in sync, before it was decided that they
|
|
|
|
|
would simply merge)

Known issues
|
|
|
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Intel ME firmware missing in ROMs that need it
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you compile ROM images with lbmk directly, the build system
|
|
|
|
|
automatically fetches ME images from the internet and neuters
|
|
|
|
|
plus truncated them, using `me_cleaner`. This downloading is done
|
|
|
|
|
to avoid distributing them directly in Libreboot, and they get
|
|
|
|
|
scrubbed by the release build scripts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To re-insert neutered/truncated ME into your image, look at
|
|
|
|
|
the [guide](../docs/install/ivy_has_common.md).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This applies to sandybridge, ivybridge and haswell Intel platforms,
|
|
|
|
|
e.g. X220, T420, X230, T430, T440p. On *older* Intel platforms such
|
|
|
|
|
as GM45+ICH9M (X200, T400, etc) the Intel ME image isn't needed and
|
|
|
|
|
Libreboot ships with ME-disabled configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MRC image missing in Haswell ROMs
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ditto ME images. To re-insert, follow
|
|
|
|
|
the [guide](../docs/install/ivy_has_common.md).
|
|
|

|
Internal flashing on 16MB X230 images
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The X230 has two ways of upgrading the default 12MB (8MB and 4MB chips)
|
|
|
|
|
flash to 16MB: remove a bunch of resistors and capacitors on the board
|
|
|
|
|
(a guide is yet to be written for this) and both flash ICs, and replace
|
|
|
|
|
SPI1 with a 16MB chip e.g. Winbond W25Q128FVSIG.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The other method: replace just SPI2 which is a 4MB flash, with an 8MB
|
|
|
|
|
flash e.g. Winbond W25Q64FVSIG. This latter method was tested, and it
|
|
|
|
|
is made to boot by changing component2density in the IFD to 8MB, but
|
|
|
|
|
this is non-standard per Intel specifications.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It boots, but then internal flashing still only lets you flash the first
|
|
|
|
|
12MB, even though the bootblock is at the end of that 16MB flash and
|
|
|
|
|
does boot perfectly!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, 16MB images on X230 are experimental. When these ROM images are built,
|
|
|

the required IFD modification is already done in Libreboot's IFD for this

|

setup.

S3 suspend/resume on Haswell (T440p/W541)
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Totally broken. The suspected cause is component2density setting in IFD
|
|
|
|
|
being wrong: ifdtool reports it as being too big for what's actually
|
|
|
|
|
flashed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No fix has been found yet that doesn't brick the machine, so this bug
|
|
|
|
|
is still present in the Libreboot 20221214 release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The issue is that the MRC cache is in the wrong place in memory, because
|
|
|
|
|
of that bug in the IFD, but when ifdtool is used to correct component2density,
|
|
|
|
|
it bricks, which leads to wonder: is ifdtool's knowledge of these bits on
|
|
|
|
|
haswell faulty?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When X230 16MB was experimented with, Haswell was also looked at, and what
|
|
|
|
|
seemed to be the same component density bits were set, also resulting in
|
|
|
|
|
a brick (it's why only 12MB images are available for haswell in libreboot).

Alper has tested the `gru_kevin` ROM images produced by lbmk, but
|
|
|
|
|
the other images are untested as of this day.

In general, you should also check the issue tracker to find other notes.
|
|
|
|
|
There is always more work to do, to improve Libreboot.

Linux distro in flash
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
STILL ON TODO SINCE LAST RELEASE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is another project that has been on hold for a while. The issue
|
|
|
|
|
has been that I need a decent userland project. I've looked at many
|
|
|
|
|
different userlands and recently (as of late June) decided to make
|
|
|
|
|
my own. I want a BusyBox-like solution, but based on code from OpenBSD,
|
|
|
|
|
ported to run under Linux with musl libc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I want this distro to provide a kexec bootloader in flash, similar to Heads,
|
|
|
|
|
and I also want it to use apk-tools, pointing at Alpine Linux repositories
|
|
|
|
|
so as to allow any number of packages to be downloaded. It could also provide
|
|
|
|
|
lots of utils in general, to be a live *rescue system* of sorts. Linux system
|
|
|
|
|
in flash, that can bootstrap other systems.
|
|
|

|
|
|
Re-factor and optimize GRUB
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
STILL ON TODO SINCE LAST RELEASE.

|
GRUB is full of unused bloat that almost nobody uses, yet is in the current
|
|
|
|
|
Libreboot builds. It's been on TODO for some time, but work has not yet
|
|
|
|
|
begun on this project. My efforts are currently focused on the Linux distro.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What I want is a fork of GRUB, optimized to run on bare metal as a coreboot
|
|
|
|
|
payload, on x86 and ARM platforms.
