post-merge bonerfixes
mistakes made during osbwww->lbmk merge have been corrected mostly a few search/replace errors, and deleted pages that have since been restored, or pages that were incorrectly scrubbed are now full; for example, pages that said there are no releases yet (from osboot) have been replaced with the version from libreboot that links to release archives, which *do* exist in libreboot i generally fixed all other minor issues with paragraphs that i found, where the paragraphs made sense in osboot.org but did not so on libreboot.org this is all of my fixes, after auditing the recent merge. no point splitting them up. just patch it up and go!hslick-master

This guide was originally written for the Libreboot project, and later adapted

for the libreboot project. This fact is clearly stated, out of respect to the

Guix project; it is a GNU project, and therefore probably does not agree with

the policies of the libreboot project. Rather, they most likely agree with the
|

Libreboot policies instead. This paragraph is written simply to provide such
|

clarification, so that people do not think the GNU project (or FSF) endorse or
|
||||
condone libreboot in any way; they do not.
|
||||
|
||||
The libreboot project respects GNU, and it is itself a project that aims to bring
|
||||
as much free software as possible to everyone, on as much hardware as possible.
|
||||
Without the GNU project, it is unlikely that we would have much Free Software

today; there were others that started around the same time, but GNU was the

project that provided the most momentum in the very early days of the movement.

RSYNC mirrors {#rsync}
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Useful for mirroring Libreboot's entire set of release archives. You can put
|
||||
an rsync command into crontab and pull the files into a directory on your
|
||||
web server.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are going to mirror the entire set, it is recommended that you allocate
|
||||
at least 25GiB. Libreboot's rsync is currently about 12GiB, so allocating 25GiB
|
||||
will afford you plenty of space for the future. At minimum, you should ensure
|
||||
that at least 15-20GiB of space is available, for your Libreboot mirror.
|
||||
|
||||
*It is highly recommended that you use the libreboot.org mirror*, if you wish
|
||||
to host an official mirror. Otherwise, if you simply want to create your own
|
||||
local mirror, you should use one of the other mirrors, which sync from
|
||||
libreboot.org.
|
||||
|
||||
Before you create the mirror, make a directory on your web server. For
|
||||
example:
|
||||
|
||||
mkdir /var/www/html/libreboot/
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can run rsync, for instance:
|
||||
|
||||
rsync -avz --delete-after rsync://rsync.libreboot.org/mirrormirror/ /var/www/html/libreboot/
|
||||
|
||||
**It's extremely important to have the final forward slash (/) at the end of each path,
|
||||
in the above rsync command. Otherwise, rsync will behave very strangely.**
|
||||
|
||||
If you wish to regularly keep your rsync mirror updated, you can add it to a
|
||||
crontab. This page tells you how to use crontab:
|
||||
<https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/crontab.5.html>
|
||||

You can make your rsync mirror available via your web server, and also configure

your *own* mirror to be accessible via rsync. There are many resources online
|

that show you how to set up an rsync server.

Statically linked
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Libreboot includes statically linked executables in some releases, built from
|
||||
the available source code. Those executables have certain libraries built into
|
||||
them, so that the executables will work on many GNU+Linux distros.
|
||||
|
||||
Libreboot 20160907 was built in Trisquel GNU+Linux, version 7.0 64-bit.
|
||||
Some older Libreboot releases will have been built in Trisquel 6.0.1.
|
||||
|
||||
To comply with GNU GPL v2, Trisquel 6 and 7 source ISOs are supplied by the
|
||||
Libreboot project. You can find these source ISOs in the `ccsource` directory
|
||||
on the `rsync` mirrors.
|
||||
|
||||
Libreboot releases past version 20160907 do not distribute statically linked
|
||||
binaries. Instead, these releases are source-only, besides pre-compiled ROM
|
||||
images for which the regular Libreboot source code archives suffice. These newer
|
||||
releases instead automate the installation of build dependencies, with instructions
|
||||
in the documentation for building various utilities from source.
|
||||
|
||||
These executables are utilities such as `flashrom`.

title: проект libreboot
|
||||
x-toc-enable: true
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
Проект `libreboot` надає
|
||||
[поважаючу свободу](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) *прошивку*,
|
||||
яка виконує ініціалізацію апаратного забезпечення (такого як - контролер пам'яті, ЦП,
|
||||
периферія) на [деяких комп'ютерах Intel/AMD x86](docs/hardware/) та розпочинає
|
||||
завантажувач для вашої операційної системи. [GNU+Linux](docs/gnulinux/)
|
||||
та [BSD](docs/bsd/) добре підтримуються. Це заміняє невільну BIOS/UEFI
|
||||
прошивку. Допомога доступна
|
||||
через [\#libreboot](https://web.libera.chat/#libreboot)
|
||||
на IRC [Libera](https://libera.chat/).
|
||||
|
||||
Чому вам варто використовувати *libreboot*?
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
У вас є права. Право на конфіденційність, свобода думки, свобода мови,
|
||||
а також право читати. [Вільне
|
||||
програмне забезпечення](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.uk.html) надає вам ці права.
|
||||
Ваша свобода має значення.
|
||||
[Право на ремонт](https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=Npd_xDuNi9k) має значення.
|
||||
Багато людей використовує [невільну](https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/proprietary.html)
|
||||
прошивку, навіть якщо вони використовують [GNU+Linux](https://www.gnu.org/distros/).
|
||||
Невільна прошивка часто [містить](faq.html#intel) [лазівки](faq.html#amd),
|
||||
та може бути забагованою. Проект libreboot був заснований в грудні 2020 року, з
|
||||
чіткою метою зробити вільне програмне забезпечення доступним для нетехнічних користувачів на
|
||||
рівні прошивки. Це правда, що `libreboot` можна назвати з відкритим джерельним кодом, [але вам
|
||||
варто називати його вільне
|
||||
програмне забезпечення](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.uk.html).
|
||||
|
||||
Проект `libreboot` використовує [coreboot](https://www.coreboot.org/) для [апаратної
|
||||
ініціалізації](https://doc.coreboot.org/getting_started/architecture.html).
|
||||
Coreboot неординарно складно встановити для більшості нетехнічних користувачів; він
|
||||
виконує лише базову ініціалізацію та перестрибує до окремої програми
|
||||
[корисного навантаження](https://doc.coreboot.org/payloads.html) (такої як -
|
||||
[GRUB](https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/),
|
||||
[Tianocore](https://www.tianocore.org/)), які також потрібно налаштувати.
|
||||
*Програмне забезпечення libreboot вирішує цю проблему*; це *дистрибутив coreboot* з
|
||||
[автоматизованою системою побудови](docs/build/), який створює *ROM образи*, для
|
||||
більш міцної установки. Документація надається.
|
||||
|
||||
Чим відрізняється libreboot від звичайного coreboot?
|
||||
---------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Таким же самим чином, як *Debian* є дистрибутивом GNU+Linux, `libreboot` є
|
||||
*дистрибутивом coreboot*. Якщо ви хочете створити образ ROM з нуля, вам в
|
||||
інакшому випадку доведеться виконати експертну конфігурацію coreboot, GRUB та
|
||||
будь-якого іншого програмного забезпечення, яке вам потрібно, щоб підготувати образ ROM. З *libreboot*,
|
||||
ви можете завантажити з Git або архіву вихідного коду, та запустити `make`, і таким чином
|
||||
будуть побудовані всі образи ROM. Автоматизована система побудови libreboot, названа `lbmk`
|
||||
(OSBoot MaKe), будує ці ROM образи автоматично, без будь-якого введення
|
||||
або втручання користувача. Конфігурація вже була виконана заздалегідь.
|
||||
|
||||
Якщо складати звичайний coreboot, без використання автоматизованої
|
||||
системи побудови libreboot, це потребувало би набагато більше інтервенцій та пристойних технічних
|
||||
знань для створення працюючої конфігурації.
|
||||
|
||||
Регулярні двійкові випуски `libreboot` надають ці
|
||||
образи ROM попередньо зібраними, і ви можете просто встановити їх, не маючи спеціальних
|
||||
знань або навичок, крім можливості
|
||||
дотримуватися [спрощених інструкцій, написаних для нетехнічних користувачів](docs/install/).
|
||||
|
||||
Чим libreboot відрізняється від *Libreboot*?
|
||||
----------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Libreboot та libreboot обидва розроблюються паралельно. Обидва проекта були засновані
|
||||
Лією Роу, яка керує обома проектами.
|
||||
|
||||
**Проект libreboot є відгалудженням від Libreboot, але він позбавився від [Політики відсутності
|
||||
двійкових компонентів Libreboot](news/policy.md). Він іде з оновленням мікрокоду ЦП, увімкненим за
|
||||
замовченням, навіть на libreboot-сумісному обладнанні (на libreboot-сумісному
|
||||
обладнанні, це є єдиною різницею). Система побудови libreboot автоматично
|
||||
завантажує повний набір `3rdparty` підмодулей з coreboot. Програмне забезпечення coreboot
|
||||
номінально вільне, але потребує деяких двійкових компонентів на окремих
|
||||
машинах, які додаються в підмодулях `3rdparty`.**
|
||||
|
||||
[Оновлення мікрокодів ЦП не завдає шкоди вашій свободі, тому що ЦП вже має
|
||||
старіший, з більшою кількістю помилок мікрокод у вбудованій ROM. Вам варто вибирати libreboot, не
|
||||
Libreboot, навіть на Libreboot-сумісному обладнанні, тому що оновлення мікрокоду
|
||||
підвищує стабільність та надійність системи.](news/policy.md) Випливає з цього принципу те, що
|
||||
`libreboot` буде завжди включати оновлення мікрокоду. Libreboot нижчьої якості за libreboot,
|
||||
з будь-якого погляду, але його будуть продовжувати розробляти та полірувати, пліч-о-пліч з
|
||||
розробкою libreboot.
|
||||
|
||||
Метою `libreboot` є надати настільки
|
||||
багато свободи, скільки можливо, для тих, хто бажає кинути свою в іншому разі
|
||||
повністю невільну прошивку. Система побудови `libreboot` не видаляє двійкові
|
||||
компоненти, як робить Libreboot, тому що вона *хоче* надати допомогу всім
|
||||
тим, хто бажає мати деякі свободи зі своїм обладнанням, навіть якщо це обладнання
|
||||
не підтримується Libreboot наразі. Підтримка Libreboot є досі дуже сильно
|
||||
бажаною, на всьому обладнанні, і працювати до цієї мети дуже заохочується!
|
||||
|
||||
Ви можете дізнатись більше, прочитавши надихнувшу libreboot [політику двійкових
|
||||
компонентів](news/policy.md), що різко контрастує з політикою Libreboot.
|
||||
Проект libreboot видаляє усі обмеження в своєму відгалудженні системи побудови Libreboot,
|
||||
дозволяючи підтримувати будь-яку плату з coreboot (метою є
|
||||
буквально підтримка їх всіх).

|
||||
- Removed useless options:
|
||||
- options for booting sda 2/3/4
|
||||
- seabios boot option
|
||||
- Added new menu entries:
|
||||
- Parse ISOLINUX config (USB)
|
||||
- Parse ISOLINUX config (CD)
|
||||
- Added 'cat' module for use on GRUB command line.
|
||||
- "set pager=1" is set in grub.cfg, for less-like functionality
|
||||
|
||||
The "Parse" options read ./isolinux/isolinux.cfg on a CD or USB, and
|
||||
automatically converts it to a grub config and switches to the boot menu
|
||||
of that distro. This makes booting ISOs \*much\* easier than before.

Revision notes (9th March 2014):
|

--------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- recreated coreboot config from scratch
|
||||
- GRUB loads even faster now (less than 2 seconds).
|
||||
- Total boot time reduced by further \~5 seconds.
|
||||
- Added crypto and cryptodisk modules to GRUB
|
||||
- cbfstool now included in the binary archives
|
||||
|
||||
Development notes
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Binary archive now have 2 images:
|
||||
- With serial output enabled and memtest86+ included (debug level
|
||||
8 in coreboot)
|
||||
- With serial output disabled and memtest86+ excluded (faster boot
|
||||
speeds) (debugging disabled)
|
||||
- Reduced impact on battery life:
|
||||
- 'processor.max\_cstate=2' instead of 'idle=halt' for booting
|
||||
default kernel
|
||||
- coreboot.rom (faster boot speeds, debugging disabled):
|
||||
- Disabled coreboot serial output (Console-> in "make
|
||||
menuconfig")
|
||||
- Set coreboot debug level to 0 instead of 8 (Console-> in
|
||||
"make menuconfig")
|
||||
- Changed GRUB timeout to 1 second instead of 2 (in grub.cfg
|
||||
- Removed background image in GRUB.
|
||||
- Removed memtest86+ payload (since it relies on serial output)
|
||||
- coreboot\_serial.rom (slower boot speeds, debugging enabled):
|
||||
- Boot time still reduced, but only by \~2 seconds
|
||||
- has the memtest86+ payload included in the ROM
|
||||
- has serial port enabled. How this is achieved (from
|
||||
X60\_source): Turn on debugging level to 8, and enable serial
|
||||
output
|
||||
- (in Console-> in coreboot "make menuconfig")
|
||||
- (and build with grub\_serial.cfg and grub\_memdisk\_serial.cfg)

|
||||
running (on X60/T60)
|
||||
- Added 'flash' script (make sure to run builddeps-flashrom first)

||||
which (while libreboot is already running) can use flashrom to flash
|
||||
a ROM
|
||||
- eg: "sudo ./flash bin/x60/coreboot\_serial\_ukdvorak.rom"

requiring the entire coreboot source code.
|
||||
- Created patched version of the relevant source files and added
|
||||
it into resources/cbfstool/patch
|
||||
- see coreboot/util/cbfstool/rmodule.c and then the patched
|
||||
version in resources/cbfstool/patch/rmodule.c

|
||||
to the cbfstool\_standalone source in libreboot\_bin
|
||||
- Added instructions to 'build' script for then re-compiling
|
||||
cbfstool\_standalone in libreboot\_bin after applying the patch
|
||||
- Added a 'builddeps-cbfstool' script (in src, but only used in
|
||||
bin and put in bin by 'build') that compiles
|
||||
cbfstool\_standalone in libreboot\_bin (make), moves the
|
||||
cbfstool and rmodtool binaries into libreboot\_bin/ and then
|
||||
does 'make clean' in libreboot\_bin/cbfstool\_standalone
|
||||
- Updated the 'build' script to put 'builddeps-cbfstool' in

|
||||
put in the coreboot configs
|
||||

- it's FRU P/N 41W1478 (on T60 14.1") so this was added to the
|
||||
docs.
|
||||
- it's P/N 42T0078 FRU 42T0079 or P/N 41W1338 (on T60 15.1") so

|
||||
- made 'build' script put resources/ directory in libreboot\_bin, to
|
||||
make builddeps-flashrom work in libreboot\_bin
|
||||
- Removed instructions for building source code in the 'get' script
|
||||
(they don't really belong there)
|
||||
- Added libfuse-dev and liblzma-dev to the list of GRUB dependencies
|
||||
in 'builddeb' script.

Revisions for r20140729 (4th beta) (29th July 2014)
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Documentation: improved (more explanations, background info) in
|
||||
docs/security/x60\_security.html (courtesy of Denis Carikli)
|
||||
- MacBook2,1 tested (confirmed)
|
||||
- macbook21: Added script 'macbook21\_firstflash' for flashing
|
||||
libreboot while Apple EFI firmware is running.
|
||||
- Documentation: macbook21: added software-based flashing instructions
|
||||
for flashing libreboot while Apple EFI firmware is running.
|
||||
- Reduced size of libreboot\_src.tar.gz:
|
||||
- Removed .git and .gitignore from grub directory
|
||||
(libreboot\_src); not needed. Removing them reduces the size of
|
||||
the archive (by a lot). GRUB development should be upstream.
|
||||
- Removed .git and .gitignore from bucts directory
|
||||
(libreboot\_src); not needed. Removing them reduces the size of
|
||||
the archive. bucts development should be upstream.
|
||||
- Removed .svn from flashrom directory (libreboot\_src); not
|
||||
needed. Removing it reduces the size of the archive. flashrom
|
||||
development should be upstream.
|
||||
- Added ROMs with Qwerty (Italian) layout in GRUB
|
||||
(libreboot\*itqwerty.rom)
|
||||
- Added resources/utilities/i945gpu/intel-regs.py for debugging issues
|
||||
related to LCD panel compatibility on X60 Tablet and T60. (courtesy
|

Corrections to r20140811 (5th beta) (11th August 2014)
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Fixed typo where revision list for 5th beta was listed as March 11th
|
||||
2014, when in fact it was August 11th 2014
|
||||
- Fixed incorrect grub.cfg that was actually placed in
|
||||
resources/grub/config/x60/grub\_usqwerty.cfg which broke the default
|
||||
GRUB menu entry on X60
|
||||
|
||||
Revisions for r20140811 (5th beta) (11th August 2014)
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- build: added 'luks', 'lvm', 'cmosdump' and 'cmostest' to the
|
||||
list of modules for grub.elf
|
||||
- Documentation: added pics showing T60 unbricking (still need to
|
||||
write a tutorial)
|
||||
- build: include cmos.layout
|
||||
(coreboot/src/mainboard/manufacturer/model/cmos.layout) files in
|
||||
libreboot\_bin
|
||||
- Documentation: added **install/x60tablet\_unbrick.html**
|
||||
- Documentation: added **install/t60\_unbrick.html**
|
||||
- Documentation: added **install/t60\_lcd\_15.html**
|
||||
- Documentation: added **install/t60\_security.html**
|
||||
- Documentation: added **install/t60\_heatsink.html**
|
||||
- Documentation: Renamed RELEASE.html to release.html
|
||||
- Documentation: removed pcmcia reference in x60\_security.html (it's
|
||||
cardbus)
|
||||
- Documentation: added preliminary information about randomized seal
|
||||
(for physical intrusion detection) in x60\_security.html and
|
||||
t60\_security.html
|
||||
- Documentation: added preliminary information about
|
||||
preventing/mitigating cold-boot attack in x60\_security.html and
|
||||
t60\_security.html
|
||||
- Documentation: added info to \#macbook21 warning about issues with
|
||||
macbook21
|
||||
- Documentation: X60/T60: added information about checking custom ROMs
|
||||
using dd to see whether or not the top 64K region is duplicated
|
||||
below top or not. Advise caution about this in the tutorial that
|
||||
deals with flashing on top of Lenovo BIOS, citing the correct dd
|
||||
commands necessary if it is confirmed that the ROM has not been
|
||||
applied with dd yet. (in the case that the user compiled their own
|
||||
ROMs from libreboot, without using the build scripts, or if they
|
||||
forgot to use dd, etc).
|
||||
- Split resources/libreboot/patch/gitdiff into separate patch files
|
||||
(getcb script updated to accomodate this change).
|
||||
- Re-added .git files to bucts
|
||||
- Fixed the oversight where macbook21\_firstflash wasn't included in
|
||||
binary archives
|
||||
- Release archives are now compressed using .tar.xz for better
|
||||
compression

|
||||
backgrounds/fonts (not useful anymore, now that GRUB is in
|
||||
text-mode).

- Added instructions for it in builddeps, builddeps-i945pwm,
|
||||

|
||||
manifests (not needed, since release tarballs are GPG-signed)

|
||||
directory (not needed anymore, since \_meta will be hosted in git)
|
||||

|
||||
accomodate this change.
|
||||
- Documentation: simplified (refactored) the notes in \#rom

||||
and added them to a new script: 'build-release'

|
||||
modules above), cryptomount should be working now.
|
||||
- Removed builddeb-bucts and builddeb-flashrom, merged them with
|
||||
builddeb ( updated accordingly)

|
||||
need to re-build bucts and/or flashrom before flashing a ROM image.
|
||||
- build-release: flashrom, nvramtool, cbfstool and bucts are no longer
|
||||
provided pre-compiled in binary archives, and are now in source form
|
||||
only. (to maximize distro compatibility).
|
||||
- 'build' script: replaced grub.elf assembly instructons, it is now
|
||||
handled by a utility added under resources/utilities/grub-assemble
|
||||
- Moved resources/grub/keymap to
|
||||
resources/utilities/grub-assemble/keymap, and updated that utility

||||
to use it

|
||||
and unmodified layouts.
|
||||
- Removed all unused fonts from dejavu-fonts-ttf-2.34/ directory

|
||||
- Documentation: updated \#rom to reflect the above
|
||||
- Deleted unused README and COPYING file from main directory
|
||||
- Removed some rm -Rf .git\* instructions from the get\* scripts and
|
||||
moved them to build-release script
|
||||
- Split up default grub.cfg into 6 parts:
|
||||
extra/{common.cfg,txtmode.cfg,vesafb.cfg} and
|
||||
menuentries/{common.cfg,txtmode.cfg,vesafb.cfg}
|
||||
- buildrom-withgrub script uses these to generate the correct
|
||||
grub.cfg for each type of configuration.
|
||||
- grub\_memdisk.cfg (used inside grub.elf) now only loads grub.cfg
|
||||
from cbfs. It no longer enables serial output or sets prefix.
|
||||
(menuentries/common.cfg does instead)
|
||||
- resources/grub/config/extra/common.cfg, added:
|
||||
- insmod instructions to load those modules: nativedisk, ehci,
|
||||
ohci, uhci, usb, usbserial\_pl2303, usbserial\_ftdi,
|
||||
usbserial\_usbdebug
|
||||
- set prefix=(memdisk)/boot/grub
|
||||
- For native graphics (recommended by coreboot wiki):\
|
||||
gfxpayload=keep\
|
||||
terminal\_output \--append gfxterm
|
||||
- Play a beep on startup:\
|
||||
play 480 440 1
|
||||
- Documentation: updated gnulinux/grub\_cbfs.html to make it safer
|
||||
(and easier) to follow.

Changes for this release (latest changes first, earliest changes last)
|

----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Updated coreboot (git commit
|
||||
8ffc085e1affaabbe3dca8ac6a89346b71dfc02e), the latest at the time of
|
||||
writing.
|
||||
- Updated SeaBIOS (git commit
|
||||
67d1fbef0f630e1e823f137d1bae7fa5790bcf4e), the latest at the time of
|
||||
writing.
|
||||
- Updated Flashrom (svn revision 1850), the latest at the time of
|
||||
writing.
|
||||
- Updated GRUB (git commit 9a67e1ac8e92cd0b7521c75a734fcaf2e58523ad),
|
||||
the latest at the time of writing.
|
||||
- Cleaned up the documentation, removed unneeded files.
|
||||
- ec/lenovo/h8 (x60/x60s/x60t/t60): Enable
|
||||
wifi/bluetooth/wwan/touchpad/trackpoint by default.
|
||||
- Documentation: Updated list of T60 LCDs (Samsung LTN150XG 15" XGA
|
||||
listed as non-working).
|
||||
- builddeps-coreboot: Don't build libpayload (not needed. This was
|
||||
leftover by mistake, when trying out the TINT payload).
|
||||
- Replaced most diff files (patches) for coreboot with gerrit
|
||||
checkouts (cherry-pick).
|
||||
- Documentation: x60\_security.html and t60\_security.html: added
|
||||
links to info about the ethernet controller (Intel 82573).
|
||||
- Documentation: x60\_security.html and t60\_security.html: added
|
||||
notes about DMA and the docking station.
|
||||
- Documentation: configuring\_parabola.html: basic post-install steps
|
||||
for Parabola GNU+Linux (helpful, since libreboot development is
|
||||
being moved to Parabola at the time of writing).
|
||||
- builddeps-coreboot: use 'make crossgcc-i386' instead of 'make
|
||||
crossgcc'. Libreboot only targets x86 at the time of writing.
|
||||
- ROM images no longer include SeaBIOS. Instead, the user adds it

Changes for this release (latest changes first, earliest changes last)
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- grub.cfg: Added (ahci1) to list of devices for ISOLINUX parser
|
||||
(CD/DVD) (this is needed for the X200 docking station).
|
||||
- grub.cfg: ISOLINUX parsing is now done on all USB partitions.
|
||||
- grub.cfg: Automatically switched to /boot/grub/libreboot\_grub.cfg
|
||||
on a partition, if it exists.
|
||||
- libreboot\_bin: added static ARM binaries for flashrom, cbfstool,
|
||||
ich9gen and ich9deblob (tested on beaglebone black).

|
||||
owners).
|
||||
- Flashrom: added whitelist for ThinkPad X200.
|
||||
- X200: fixed uneven backlight (at low levels)
|
||||
- ich9macchange (new script, uses ich9gen): for changing the default

||||
MAC address on X200 ROM images.
|
||||
- ich9gen: added capability to change the default MAC address (and
|
||||
update the checksum)
|
||||
- ich9deblob: added new utility ich9gen: this can generate a
|
||||
descriptor+gbe image without a factory.rom dump present.
|
||||
- Modified ich9deblob to use a struct for Gbe, documenting everything.
|
||||
- Massively updated the ich9deblob utility: re-factored everything
|
||||
completely.

||||
- Enabled cstates 1 and 2 on macbook21. This reduces idle heat / power
|
||||
consumption.

|
||||
- Update flashrom
|
||||
- Update GRUB
|
||||
- Updated coreboot-libre
|
||||
- i945: permanently set tft\_brightness to 0xff (fixes bug on X60
|
||||
where turning up brightness at max would make it loop back to
|
||||
low brightness)
|
||||
- getcb: Revert X60/T60 to legacy backlight controls
|
||||
- The ACPI brightness patches were abandoned and obsolete.
|
||||

||||
- docs/release.html Add DMP vortex86ex to list of candidates.
|
||||
- docs/release.html Add ThinkPad X201 to list of candidates.
|
||||
- New links added to docs/security/x60\_security and
|
||||
docs/security/t60\_security
|
||||
- lenovobios\_secondflash: Warn if BUCTS is not present. (not a
|
||||
dealbreaker. Can just pull out nvram battery/coin).
|
||||
- lenovobios\_firstflash: Fail if BUCTS fails. (anti-bricking
|
||||
precaution)
|
||||
- Removed obnoxious warnings from flashing scripts, improved
|
||||
documentation instead.
|
||||
- scripts (all): add proper error checking (fail fast, fail early. Do
|
||||
not continue if there are errors)
|
||||
- buildrom-withgrub: rename image to boardname\_layout\_romtype.rom
|
||||
- buildrom-withgrub: don't move cbfstool, execute directly

||||
replace keyboard on X60/X60T)
|
||||
- Documentation: major cleanup (better structure, easier to find
|
||||
things)
|
||||
- docs/release.html: Remove Acer CB5 from list of future candidates.
|
||||
- Too many issues. Chromebooks are crippled (soldered
|
||||
RAM/storage/wifi) and have too many usability issues for the
|
||||
libreboot project.
|
||||
- docs/gnulinux/grub\_cbfs.html Major cleanup. Usability improvements.
|
||||
- flash (flashrom script): remove boardmismatch=force
|
||||
- This was put there before for users upgrading from libreboot r5
|
||||
to r6, but also allows the user to flash the wrong image. For
|
||||
example, the user could flash a T60 image on an X60, thus
|
||||
bricking the system. It's almost certain that most people have
|
||||
upgraded by now, so remove this potentially dangerous option.
|
||||
- Documentation: update compatibility list for X60T LCD panels.
|
||||
- docs/release.html: add note about X60 Tablet board in X60/X60s
|
||||
- docs/howtos/grub\_boot\_installer.html: small corrections
|
||||
- docs/howtos/grub\_boot\_installer.html: improved readability, fixed
|
||||
html errors
|
||||
- Documentation (macbook21 related): clean up

Revisions for r20150126 (relative to r20150124)
|

-----------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This is a bug fix release based on r20150124. It contains a few small
|
||||
changes:
|
||||
|
||||
- grub.cfg: hardcode the list of partitions to search (speeds up
|
||||
booting considerably. GRUB regexp isn't very well optimized)
|
||||
- Docs (x200.html hcl): Remove incorrect information
|
||||
- Documentation (bbb\_setup.md): Fix typos
|
||||
- build-release: delete ich9fdgbe\_{4m,8m}.bin files from ich9gen
|
||||
- These were accidentically included in the r20150124 release.
|
||||
They are generated from ich9gen so it's ok, but they don't
|
||||
need to be in the archive.
|
||||
- Documentation (grub\_cbfs.md): Looping in libreboot\_grub.cfg (Add
|
||||
notes about it if the user copied from grub.cfg in CBFS.)

Changes for this release of Libreboot, relative to Libreboot version 20150518 (earliest changes are shown last and the most recent changes are shown first first)
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- NEW BOARDS ADDED:
|
||||
- ASUS Chromebook C201 (ARM laptop) (thanks to Paul Kocialkowski)
|
||||
- Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L motherboard (desktop) (thanks to Damien
|
||||
Zammit)
|
||||
- Intel D510MO motherboard (desktop) (thanks to Damien Zammit)
|

- ASUS KFSN4-DRE motherboard (server) (thanks to Timothy Pearson)
|
||||
- ASUS KGPE-D16 motherboard (server) (thanks to Timothy Pearson)
|
||||
|
||||
For details development history on these boards, refer to the git log
|
||||
and documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
For boards previously supported, many fixes from upstream have been
|
||||
merged.
|
||||
|
||||
Other changes (compared to libreboot 20150518), for libreboot in general
|
||||
or for previously supported systems: (this is a summary. For more
|
||||
detailed change list, refer to the git log)
|
||||
|
||||
256MiB VRAM allocated on GM45 (X200, T400, T500, R400) instead of 32MiB.
|
||||
This is an improvement over both Lenovo BIOS and Libreboot 20150518,
|
||||
allowing video decoding at 1080p to be smoother. (thanks Arthur Heymans)
|
||||
To clarify, GM45 video performance in libreboot 20160818 is better than
|
||||
on the original BIOS and the previous libreboot release.
|
||||
|
||||
64MiB VRAM on i945 (X60, T60, MacBook2,1) now supported in
|
||||
coreboot-libre, and used by default (in the previous release, it was
|
||||
8MiB allocated). Thanks to Arthur Heymans.
|
||||
|
||||
Higher battery life on GM45 (X200, T400, T500, R400) due to higher
|
||||
cstates now being supported (thanks Arthur Heymans). C4 power states
|
||||
also supported.
|
||||
|
||||
Higher battery life on i945 (X60, T60, MacBook2,1) due to better CPU
|
||||
C-state settings. (Deep C4, Dynamic L2 shrinking, C2E).
|
||||
|
||||
Text mode on GM45 (X200, T400, T500, R400) now works, making it possible
|
||||
to use MemTest86+ comfortably. (thanks to Nick High from coreboot)
|
||||
|
||||
Dual channel LVDS displays on GM45 (T400, T500) are now automatically
|
||||
detected in coreboot-libre. (thanks Vladimir Serbinenko from coreboot)
|
||||
|
||||
Partial fix in coreboot-libre for GRUB display on GM45, for dual channel
|
||||
LVDS higher resolution LCD panels (T400, T500). (thanks Arthur Heymans)
|
||||
|
||||
Massively improved GRUB configuration, making it easier to boot more
|
||||
encrypted systems automatically, and generally a more useful menu for
|
||||
booting the system (thanks go to Klemens Nanni of the autoboot project).
|
||||
Libreboot now uses the grub.cfg provided by the installed GNU+Linux
|
||||
distribution automatically, if present, switching to that configuration.
|
||||
This is done across many partitions, where libreboot actively searches
|
||||
for a configuration file (also on LVM volumes and encrypted volumes).
|
||||
This should make libreboot more easy to use for non-technical users,
|
||||
without having to modify the GRUB configuration used in libreboot.
|
||||
|
||||
Utilities archives is now source only. You will need to compile the
|
||||
packages in there (build scripts included, and a script for installing
|
||||
build dependencies). (binary utility archives are planned again in the
|
||||
next release, when the new build system is merged)
|
||||
|
||||
SeaGRUB is now the default payload on all x86 boards. (SeaBIOS
|
||||
configured to load a compressed GRUB payload from CBFS immediately,
|
||||
without providing an interface in SeaBIOS. This way, GRUB is still used
|
||||
but now BIOS services are available, so you get the best of both
|
||||
worlds). Thanks go to Timothy Pearson of coreboot for this idea.
|
||||
|
||||
crossgcc is now downloaded and built as a separate module to
|
||||
coreboot-libre, with a universal revision used to build all boards.
|
||||
|
||||
Individual boards now have their own coreboot revision and patches,
|
||||
independently of each other board. This makes maintenance easier.
|
||||
|
||||
Updated all utilities, and modules (coreboot, GRUB, etc) to newer
|
||||
versions, with various bugfixes and improvements upstream.
|
||||
|
||||
RTC century byte issue now fixed on GM45 in coreboot-libre, so the date
|
||||
should now be correctly displayed when running the latest linux kernel,
|
||||
instead of seeing 1970-01-01 when you boot (thanks to Alexander Couzens
|
||||
from coreboot)
|
||||
|
||||
Build system now uses multiple CPU cores when building, speeding up
|
||||
building for some people. Manually specifying how many cores are needed
|
||||
is also possible, for those using the build system in a chroot
|
||||
environment. (thanks go to Timothy Pearson from coreboot)
|
||||
|
||||
In the build system (git repository), https:// is now used when cloning
|
||||
coreboot. http:// is used as a fallback for GRUB, if git:// fails.
|
||||
|
||||
New payload, the depthcharge bootloader (free bootloader maintained by
|
||||
Google) for use on the ASUS Chromebook C201. (thanks go to Paul
|
||||
Kocialkowski)
|
||||
|
||||
Various fixes to the ich9gen utility (e.g. flash component density is
|
||||
now set correctly in the descriptor, gbe-less descriptors now supported)

% Libreboot 20211122 released!
|

% Leah Rowe
|

% 22 November 2021
|
||||
|
||||
Free your BIOS today!
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
Libreboot is free (as in freedom) boot firmware, which initializes the hardware
|
||||
(e.g. memory controller, CPU, peripherals) in your computer so that software
|
||||
can run. Libreboot then starts a bootloader to load your operating system. It
|
||||
replaces the proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmware typically found on a computer.
|
||||
Libreboot is compatible with specifical computer models that use the Intel/AMD
|
||||
x86 architecture. Libreboot works well with GNU+Linux and BSD operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
The last Libreboot release, version 20210522, was released on May 22nd
|
||||
in 2021. *This* new release, Libreboot 20211122, is released today on November
|
||||
22nd, 2021. This is yet another *testing* release, so expect there to be some
|
||||
bugs. Every effort has been made to ensure reliability on all boards, however.
|
||||
|
||||
You can find this release in the `testing` directory on Libreboot release
|
||||
mirrors. If you check in the `stable` directory, you'll still only find
|
||||
the 20160907 release in there, so please ensure that you check the `testing`
|
||||
directory!
|
||||
|
||||
This is a *bug fix* release, relative to 20210522. No new boards or major
|
||||
features have been added, but several problems that existed in the previous
|
||||
release have now been fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
Work done since the 20210522 release:
|
||||
-------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Updated to newer coreboot, SeaBIOS and GRUB versions. The 20210522
|
||||
release was using coreboot 4.14, on most boards, from May 2021. This release
|
||||
is using a coreboot revision from November 2021.
|
||||
* Tianocore dropped from the build system. It was planned that this would be
|
||||
provided in ROM images, but Tianocore is very bloated and buggy, and not
|
||||
worth maintaining. It was supported in the build system, but not actually
|
||||
enabled on any boards. Instead, a future release of Libreboot will include
|
||||
a busybox+linux payload with the u-root bootloader:
|
||||
<https://github.com/u-root/u-root>
|
||||
* New upstream used for SeaBIOS: <https://review.coreboot.org/seabios>
|
||||
* Dummy PIKE2008 option ROM now automatically inserted into ASUS KGPE-D16 and
|
||||
KCMA-D8 ROM images. It is literally an empty file. This disables the option
|
||||
ROM from being loaded, which is known to hang SeaBIOS on these boards.
|
||||
* 16MB configs now available, for more boards. For instance, ThinkPad X60 and
|
||||
T60, ASUS KGPE-D16, etc. It's always possible to upgrade the flash, and
|
||||
information about this is provided in the documentation.
|
||||
* `memtest86+` included on more ROMs by default (where text mode startup is used)
|
||||
* `memtest86+`: Now coreboot's own fork is used, instead of upstream. This fork
|
||||
works much more reliably on coreboot targets, when running on bare metal.
|
||||
* More 16MB configs added, for more boards. This will be finished by the time
|
||||
of the next release. Already, several older laptops such as the ThinkPad X60
|
||||
or T60, have these configs in the latest `lbmk.git`. If you upgrade the
|
||||
default SPI flash to 16MByte / 128MBit (maximum size possible), you can then
|
||||
easily put an entire busybox+linux system in the flash.
|
||||
* `coreboot`: Added persmule's 2016 patch to enable more SATA/eSATA ports on
|
||||
ThinkPad T400. This change benefits T400S users.
|
||||
* `grub.cfg`: LUKS setups are now detected on mdraid setups.
|
||||
* `grub.cfg`: Default timeout changed to 10 seconds, instead of 1. This benefit
|
||||
desktop users, who previously complained about not having time to respond if
|
||||
they wanted to interact with the boot menu.
|
||||
* `grub.cfg`: Performance optimization when scanning for encrypted LUKS volumes.
|
||||
GRUB will stall a lot less often, and feel more responsive, when dealing with
|
||||
LUKS-encrypted setups.
|
||||
* `coreboot`: cstate 3 now supported on MacBook2,1 and Macbook1,1. This results
|
||||
in lower CPU temperatures and higher battery life on idle. Thanks go to
|
||||
vitali64 on IRC for this fix
|
||||
* Reset bug fixed, on GM45 platforms (ThinkPad X200/T400/T500 and so on). These
|
||||
laptops did not reliably reboot, on the Libreboot 20210522 testing release.
|
||||
They now reboot reliably, with this fix. See:
|
||||
<https://notabug.org/libreboot/lbmk/issues/3>
|
||||
* `lbmk`: Use `env` instead of hardcoding the bash path, in bash scripts. This
|
||||
should make the build system slightly more portable between distros.
|
||||
* Turkish keyboard layout added on GRUB payloads
|
||||
|
||||
New release schedule under consideration
|
||||
========================================
|
||||
|
||||
The 20210522 release happened to coincide with coreboot 4.14's release, more
|
||||
or less.
|
||||
|
||||
This release also coincides roughly with the coreboot 4.15 release, which came
|
||||
out on November 5th. See:
|
||||
<https://doc.coreboot.org/releases/coreboot-4.15-relnotes.html>
|
||||
|
||||
Coreboot has, since the 4.15 release, decided to release every 3 months instead
|
||||
of every 6. That means the coreboot 4.16 release is planned for February 2022.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm considering this: 2 releases every 3 months, of Libreboot. A testing release
|
||||
and then a fork of that is created, to fix bugs ready for a stable release 3
|
||||
months later, while simultaneously working (in the lbmk master branch) towards
|
||||
another testing release. *If no stable release is available at the same time as
|
||||
a testing release, then delay it if the delay will be minimal, otherwise
|
||||
cancel and abandon that particular stable branch.*
|
||||
|
||||
So: if I do this, the next stable release of Libreboot could be in February
|
||||
2022 based on bug fixes of this November 2021 release, using coreboot 4.15.
|
||||
A testing release could be simultaneously made, with perhaps extra features,
|
||||
and based on coreboot 4.16.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm considering it. In general, I do want Libreboot to be in sync with the
|
||||
coreboot project, but coreboot does not guarantee stability in their releases.
|
||||
Rather, releases are regarded as *milestones* for the coreboot developers to
|
||||
reflect on current developments, and plan the next few months.
|
||||
|
||||
When Libreboot first started, coreboot did not have a fixed release scheduled.
|
||||
It was purely rolling release. Coreboot however has been quite reliable with
|
||||
its own release schedules in the past few years, making it viable for Libreboot
|
||||
to also have a fixed schedule.

% Libreboot 20220710 released!
|
||||
% Leah Rowe
|
||||
% 10 July 2022
|
||||
|
||||
Free your BIOS today!
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
Libreboot is free (as in freedom) boot firmware, which initializes the hardware
|
||||
(e.g. memory controller, CPU, peripherals) in your computer so that software
|
||||
can run. Libreboot then starts a bootloader to load your operating system. It
|
||||
replaces the proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmware typically found on a computer.
|
||||
Libreboot is compatible with specifical computer models that use the Intel/AMD
|
||||
x86 architecture. Libreboot works well with GNU+Linux and BSD operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
The last Libreboot release, version 20211122, was released on November 22nd
|
||||
in 2021. *This* new release, Libreboot 20220710, is released today on July
|
||||
10th, 2022. This is intended to be a *stable* release, with some caveats.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a *bug fix* release, relative to 20211122. No new boards or major
|
||||
features have been added, but several problems that existed in the previous
|
||||
release have now been fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
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`.
|
||||
|
||||
Work done since the 20211122 release:
|
||||
-------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Lots and lots of improvements to the documentation. Previous 2021 testing
|
||||
releases did not include snapshots of the documentation (which is actually
|
||||
the Markdown source files for the website), but this release *does* include
|
||||
now a snapshot of the current Libreboot documentation, as per the time of
|
||||
release.
|
||||
* grub.cfg: Many performance improvements, improving the boot speeds
|
||||
when using the GNU GRUB payload (courtesy Ferass 'Vitali64' EL HAFIDI with
|
||||
additional improvements made by Leah Rowe)
|
||||
* GM45/ICH9M laptops: Disable PECI in coreboot, to work around a microcode bug
|
||||
causing SpeedStep (and possibly other CPU features) to fail.
|
||||
* Do not treat warnings as errors when building flashrom (fixes building on
|
||||
newer versions of GCC).
|
||||
* Macbook2,1: 16MB configurations now available (you must first upgrade the
|
||||
SPI flash)
|
||||
* Build system improvement: automated scripts for modifying coreboot configs.
|
||||
* Disable (by default) serial output on all boards, to prevent boot speed
|
||||
issues.
|
||||
* grub.cfg: Actually enable USB keyboards, explicitly (works around bug seen
|
||||
on some laptops, when using the GRUB payload).
|
||||
* Coreboot configs: Do not enable wifi during early init (security liability)
|
||||
* Preliminary u-boot integration; not used in any boards yet, but future
|
||||
full integration is planned, for several ARM platforms. U-boot is not
|
||||
included in the release archives, but logic does exist in the build system.
|
||||

|

* Scripts in lbmk: improved help output, courtesy of Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli.
|
||||
* scripts: process git versions when lbmk is a worktree or submodule. Courtesy
|
||||
John Doe (cool guy)
|
||||
* Updated to newer flashrom, in the build system
|
||||
* Perform silentoldconfig in seabios before full make. This fixes a race
|
||||
condition when rebuilding SeaBIOS with a high CPU count, resulting in failure
|
||||
with the error message (fix courtesy of John Doe):
|
||||
|
||||
cc1: fatal error: can't open 'out/src/asm-offsets.s' for writing: No such file or directory
|
||||
|
||||
* lbmk: Specifically call python3, when python3 is to be used instead of 2.
|
||||
* lbmk: Preliminary fix for git credentials check. Set a placeholder name/email
|
||||
if one is not set.
|
||||
|
||||
Caveats
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Due to reported issues by users, these boards do not have ROM images
|
||||
available in the Libreboot 20220710 release:
|
||||
|
||||
* KGPE-D16 ROM images not included
|
||||
* ditto KCMA-D8
|
||||
* ditto GA-G41M-ES2L
|
||||
|
||||
GA-G41M-ES2L works *for me* but jxself on FSF IRC reported video init issues.
|
||||
If you have this board, and the 2021 releases don't work either, you might
|
||||
consider using upstream coreboot or the September 2016 Libreboot release.
|
||||
I will investigate this, and re-include ROMs for this board on the next
|
||||
release of Libreboot.
|
||||
|
||||
The boards listed above can still be compiled, from the source code archive
|
||||
in this release and from the Libreboot git repository; additionally, ROM images
|
||||
are provided for these in the previous release. D8/D16 continue to have raminit
|
||||
issues; for now, use the 2021 releases. The next Libreboot release will
|
||||
merge newer patches that are available for this board, improving raminit
|
||||
reliability (among other things); that new release will, when available, have
|
||||
D16 ROMs included.
|
||||
|
||||
All other boards are reasonably stable, and shouldn't provide any issues (no
|
||||
major issues reported, and/or non-blocking issues only).
|
||||
|
||||
Planned future work
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
In general, you should also check the issue tracker to find other notes.
|
||||
There is always more work to do, to improve Libreboot.
|
||||
|
||||
Support for non-x86 platforms
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This is still on hold, but will be done as part of a future release.
|
||||
The coreboot firmware does support other platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
Linux distro in flash
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Planned osboot/Libreboot merger
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
*The plans below are a guiding principle, but the details may change, when
|
||||
or if (most likely when) this decision is implemented.*
|
||||
|
||||
In general, more hardware support is always a focus of the Libreboot project.
|
||||
With this in mind, a fundamental policy change in planned in the next release.
|
||||
|
||||
Read the policies of Libreboot and osboot. They differ, but the guiding
|
||||
philosophy behind them is exactly the same:
|
||||
|
||||
* <https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html>
|
||||
* <https://osboot.org/news/policy.html> (this will redirect to _newpolicy.html_
|
||||
on libreboot.org, and the current _policy.html_ will redirect
|
||||
to _oldpolicy.html_, on the libreboot site, when the decision is implemented)
|
||||
|
||||
The differences are clear, but they are not entirely irreconcilable. I had
|
||||
initially started *osboot* to be its own project, but I have concluded for some
|
||||
time now that this level of separation is inefficient. I've thought of a better
|
||||
way to run both projects. I initially planned to do an osboot release at the
|
||||
same time as a new Libreboot release, but this will no longer be done.
|
||||
|
||||
*This is the last Libreboot release*, under the current policy. The next
|
||||
Libreboot release will be conducted under a new policy, that accomodates both
|
||||
the current Libreboot policy and current osboot policy.
|
||||
|
||||
Basically, the differences between lbmk and osbmk are quite minor and osboot
|
||||
merely adds a few new features for platforms it supports that Libreboot does
|
||||
(can)not under current policy. This is not to say that the differences are
|
||||
not substantial, for those parts of osboot that do differ, but the overall
|
||||
structure and design of both build systems (libreboot and osboot) is exactly
|
||||
the same, and they're both easily adaptable.
|
||||
|
||||
What I want to do is refactor parts of the osboot build system so that you
|
||||
can pass an option (e.g. environmental variable) at build-time, which will
|
||||
dictate that any modules downloaded/built, and any ROMs built, will be created
|
||||
under current Libreboot policy.
|
||||
|
||||
Example, Libreboot-style, blobless:
|
||||
|
||||
FSDG= ./build boot roms all
|
||||
|
||||
Example, Osboot-style:
|
||||
|
||||
./build boot roms all
|
||||
|
||||
An option in `board.cfg` for each board would specify whether the given board
|
||||
can actually be built and booted this way, per current Libreboot policy.
|
||||
Therefore, a version of the current guidelines will still be made available.
|
||||
The *new* osboot-derived guidelines would be a separate document.
|
||||
|
||||
Where `board.cfg` does specify that FSDG is possible, non-FSDG configs can
|
||||
still be made available (for example: include microcode updates and don't
|
||||
provide microcode-related mitigations), while also providing FSDG compliant
|
||||
configs (no microcode updates, and related issues mitigated via patches if
|
||||
possible, e.g. PECI disable patch to fix SpeedStep on GM45/ICH9M machines).
|
||||
|
||||
This would then become the Libreboot build system, and the documentation on
|
||||
libreboot would integrate everything from osboot too, accomodating this new
|
||||
policy change. The Libreboot project would therefore have two policies:
|
||||
|
||||
* Current one, if building with FSDG option
|
||||
* Osboot one, if building without FSDG option
|
||||
|
||||
FSDG is the FSF guideline that Libreboot currently complies with, and which
|
||||
this release (Libreboot 20220710) adheres to.
|
||||
|
||||
Under this planned change, *two* sets of ROM images would be provided in
|
||||
the next Libreboot release:
|
||||
|
||||
* Limited subset, built based on current Libreboot policy. These sets would
|
||||
be similar to what you currently see in Libreboot releases.
|
||||
* Expanded set, based on current osboot policy
|
||||
|
||||
Under that next release, with the change made, both sets of ROM images would
|
||||
be built from the same source archive.
|
||||
|
||||
When this merger is conducted, the <https://osboot.org/> site will shut down
|
||||
and redirect (HTTP 301) to <https://libreboot.org/>. A new fusion of Libreboot
|
||||
and osboot will be born, continuing on *libreboot.org*.
|
||||
|
||||
This would then open up the Libreboot project to support more hardware, far
|
||||
more than it currently supports. The documentation would also be greatly
|
||||
improved, to more thoroughly specify what issues exist (if any) on a given
|
||||
board, as per *current Libreboot blob policy* and from an OSHW perspective.
|
||||
|
||||
The reason for this planned merger is pragmatic: I want to help more people
|
||||
to increase the amount of freedom they have, and most hardware currently
|
||||
supported by Libreboot is nearly impossible to find these days. In other words,
|
||||
it's a choice between abandoning Libreboot and focusing only on osboot, which
|
||||
itself is a new project that has to completely establish itself again, or to
|
||||
instead continue using the Libreboot name, and implementing this newly
|
||||
pragmatic decision as a means of *continuity*.
|
||||
|
||||
Even if more hardware is added to Libreboot under the current policy, I think
|
||||
this new change of direction is fundamentally *good*, because Libreboot is
|
||||
mainly about making coreboot as easy to use as possible. My feelings about
|
||||
this are already written in the current osboot policy.
|
||||
|
||||
I believe the Libreboot project is in a position to help people regardless, by
|
||||
focusing on the wider set of supported coreboot hardware while still catering
|
||||
to the existing Libreboot users (precisely the reason why the merger is
|
||||
planned, in exactly the manner as described above).

workload, and maintenance. It is expected that the project will *grow* in the

future, to accomodate *board maintainers*, just like you have *package
|
||||
maintainers* in Debian; the analogy is highly appropriate, given the nature
|
||||
of the libreboot build system, which you can learn more about on the [lbmk maintenance manual](../docs/maintain/).
|
||||
|
||||
This policy change was implemented, by *merging* osboot with Libreboot. The
|

osboot project was a fork of Libreboot lead by the same founder, Leah Rowe, and

initially maintained in parallel with Libreboot. *On November 15th, 2022, the

two projects merged into a single project, continuing under the Libreboot

banner. The osboot project existed between December 2020 (as retroboot, months
|

later renamed to osboot) and November 2022; osboot has been assimilated by

to the presence of microcode updates in the firmware, and with zero practical

This shift in project policy does not affect your freedom at all, because you

still otherwise have older, buggier microcode anyway. However, it does improve

system reliability by including the updates!
|
||||
|
||||
However:
|
||||
|
||||
**I will continue to develop Libreboot and libreboot, in parallel.**
|
||||
|
||||
There are some people who still want Libreboot, who believe in FSF principles
|
||||
on this subject, and I believe it would ultimately be damaging if I were to
|
||||
just *shut down* the Libreboot project. I do not agree with the policies of
|
||||
the Libreboot project; I was only following the FSF's instructions when I made
|
||||
it, all those years ago.
|
||||
|
||||
If I were to cancel Libreboot, my fear is that such people would be stubborn
|
||||
and end up, ironically, being less likely to use coreboot-based firmware. This
|
||||
is for a very human reason: such people might try (fail) to make their *own*
|
||||
Libreboot instead. I believe I'm in the best position to run such a project, to
|
||||
ensure that a good job is being performed. I *want* to help people, even those
|
||||
people, *because I want everyone to have freedom*. I also believe in freedom of
|
||||
choice, and Libreboot is an excellent choice for those who wish to use something
|
||||
that complies with FSF criteria.
|
||||
|
||||
Thus, I continue developing Libreboot in parallel with libreboot, even though
|
||||
Libreboot is technically *inferior* to libreboot. The *osboot* project is where
|
||||
my heart truly lies. I'm completely in it, whereas Libreboot is something I
|
||||
also maintain on the side. I try to do my best, when working on both projects.
|
||||
I really don't mind maintaining both of them, because they are actually very
|
||||
similar anyway, on relevant hardware.
|
||||
Such pragmatic policy is *superior* to the *dogma* that Libreboot users once
|
||||
had to endure. Simply put, the Libreboot project aims to give users as much
|
||||
freedom as is possible for their hardware; this was always the case, but this
|
||||
mentality is now applied to [a lot] more hardware.

============

|

This event of such global importance to [Free

Software](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) projects, and the Free

events in question, covered by this article, will occur on 11 January 2022.
|
||||
This is just three days away from today, 8 January 2022 when this article was
|
||||
written, so if you make a decision, you should make it now, today, and prepare.
|
||||
Please continue reading.**
|
||||
|
||||
If you live in New Hampshire or in one of the neighbouring states, especially
|
||||
Massachusetts, please listen up! If you are further away and unable to reach
|
||||
New Hampshire all that easily, please spread the following news anyway. It's
|
||||
important. As alien as it may seem to many of my readers, I'm actually writing
|
||||
parts of this article as though someone who has never heard of Free Software is
|
||||
reading it, because I expect precisely that such people *will* read this
|
||||
particular article.
|
||||
|
||||
You will see the term *Free Software* used in this article, but some people
|
||||
call it Open Source Software. [However, you should call it Free
|
||||
Software.](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html)
|
||||
The word "free" refers to freedom, not price, though the software is usually
|
||||
also free as in gratis / zero price.
|
||||
|
||||
The opposite of Free Software is called *proprietary software*, or *non-free
|
||||
software*. Proponents of Open Source sometimes call non-free software *Closed
|
||||
Source*, but you should call it *non-free* or proprietary, to highlight the
|
||||
fact that it isn't free.
|
||||
|
||||
What's happening in New Hampshire?
|
||||
==================================
|
||||
|
||||
An important bill is being proposed in New Hampshire, which would enshrine
|
||||
much of what we know as Free Software *into law*. Here is the proposed bill,
|
||||
technically named "HB1273":\
|
||||
<https://gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/billText.aspx?sy=2022&id=1363&txtFormat=html>
|
||||
|
||||
You can read it for yourself, but here is a paraphrasing of what it proposes:
|
||||
|
||||
* *Specifically* bans state-run websites from serving non-free javascript to
|
||||
clients
|
||||
* Creates a commission to provide oversight, watching the use of Free Software by state agencies
|
||||
* Bans state agencies from using proprietary software - maybe this could include schools, in the future!
|
||||
* If a person is tried in a criminal case, they have the right to audit the source code of any proprietary software that collects evidence against them
|
||||
* Encourages data portability (able to transfer data from one program to another)
|
||||
* Bans certain non-compete clauses and NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) pertaining to Free Software projects
|
||||
* Bans state/local law enforcement from assisting with the enforcement of copyright claims against Free Software projects
|
||||
* Bans state agencies from purchasing non-free software if free software exists, for a given task
|
||||
|
||||
However, this is only a short summary. You are advised to read the bill in
|
||||
detail. It's not very long.
|
||||
|
||||
At first glance, it may not seem that the bill affects individuals, but don't
|
||||
be fooled; this is a hugely positive step forward for everyone! If the state is
|
||||
using Free Software, that most likely means it'll be used in education aswell.
|
||||
|
||||
Although perhaps not immediately and readily apparent, this is a stake in the
|
||||
heart of proprietary software's current dominance, because it would remove one
|
||||
key element of its attack against us; its abuse of education services.
|
||||
|
||||
If education services are using Free Software, that means they'll probably have
|
||||
children (the ones being educated) using it too. This is a *huge* step, and it
|
||||
will result in more Free Software developers in the future. Free Software will
|
||||
become more and more mainstream to the masses, which can surely only be a good
|
||||
thing!
|
||||
|
||||
Freedom is always superior. The more people that have it, the better off we all
|
||||
are, because freedom is also collective; it relies on others around us also
|
||||
having it, so that we can defend each other. If more people have it, especially
|
||||
if it results in more Free Software developers in the future, that's one thing,
|
||||
but imagine if *more* states like what they see and start to copy the new
|
||||
legislation.
|
||||
|
||||
Now imagine that countries besides the US start doing it, inspired by the US's
|
||||
success (and I think it will be a resounding success).
|
||||
|
||||
Imagine a world where [Free
|
||||
Software](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html), free as in freedom, is
|
||||
the default everywhere. Imagine a world where [Free Software
|
||||
licensing](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html) is required reading
|
||||
material in schools. *Imagine a world where any five year old can install a
|
||||
free operating system such as GNU+Linux, and Computer Science is mandatory in
|
||||
schools from a young age. Imagine filing your tax returns with Free Software,
|
||||
exclusively. Imagine not even thinking about that, because it became the norm.*
|
||||
|
||||
*Imagine a world where proprietary software doesn't exist, because it is
|
||||
obsolete; entire generations of people are taught to value freedom, and to
|
||||
staunchly defend it, helping each other learn and grow (and produce better
|
||||
software in the process, with less bugs, because people are now free to do
|
||||
that, without relying on some evil company).*
|
||||
|
||||
Imagine a world where you're no longer being spied on because NSA, Apple and
|
||||
Microsoft no longer have backdoor access to your computer. *Imagine having the
|
||||
ability to say no, because that's what freedom is. Try to imagine it!*
|
||||
|
||||
Free Software is a revolution that we in the Free Software movement have
|
||||
rigorously upheld and fought for, over many years, but we still face an uphill
|
||||
battle because children are not taught in schools about free computing, nor are
|
||||
they encouraged to learn; they are taught to view computers as *products* to
|
||||
throw away every 1-2 years, that they can run a few *apps* on but otherwise are
|
||||
not allowed to do anything with. The *concept* of a *general purpose, fully
|
||||
reprogrammable computer* is heavily suppressed in mainstream culture. *Most*
|
||||
people in the world do not run a free operating system; the idea of a computer
|
||||
being a mere *appliance* is normalized (as opposed to the idea of it being a
|
||||
highly liberating tool for development and the expansion of human knowledge).
|
||||
|
||||
*This* is what we in the Free Software movement have fought for over the years.
|
||||
We believe that knowledge is a human right, that the ability to share, study,
|
||||
learn, adapt and modify the software is an inalienable right that everyone must
|
||||
have. [The four freedoms are absolute.](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html)
|
||||
|
||||
One of our biggest problem has been simply that schools and governments do not
|
||||
teach people about free computing. The right to learn, the right to read and
|
||||
the right to hack. Our governments are made up of human beings just like you or
|
||||
me, and they can be bought/corrupted; Microsoft, Apple and many others (such as
|
||||
IBM) have done this for years, having the national infrastructures governing us
|
||||
run on their proprietary systems, instead of systems that respect freedom; it
|
||||
is essential that these systems run free software, because a free and democratic
|
||||
society should expect nothing less. Those companies buy influence *and they own
|
||||
your politicians*.
|
||||
|
||||
All of this could change very soon. Something is happening in New Hampshire,
|
||||
which could redefine our movement and give *free software* real power
|
||||
instead.

More states/countries will follow
|
||||
---------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If this bill is passed in New Hampshire, more states will likely follow. It
|
||||
will lead to a massively renewed drive to liberate all computer users, and US
|
||||
laws tend to be copied/pasted around the world too.
|
||||
|
||||
This bill, if passed, will have a hugely positive impact on Free Software at a
|
||||
global level.
|
||||
|
||||
You *must* support this bill. If you want to see it pass, please go to New
|
||||
Hampshire on 11 January 2022 to make sure your voice is heard.
|
||||
|
||||
OUR ENEMIES WILL BE THERE
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The *proprietary* software companies like Microsoft and Apple will also be
|
||||
there, trying to argue the case *against* the use of Free Software.
|
||||
|
||||
There is already precedent; please watch this video, which shows how Microsoft
|
||||
(for example) might behave in the reading of the bill. This video is from a
|
||||
discussion within the European Union, several years ago:\
|
||||
<https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=W_S0k1sx8EM> (invidious link. works without
|
||||
javascript enabled, if you wish)
|
||||
|
||||
They will try to trick the law makers by claiming things such as:
|
||||
|
||||
* **"Free software is insecure / you will get hacked"** - nothing could be
|
||||
further from the truth! Free operating systems such as GNU+Linux, FreeBSD and
|
||||
especially OpenBSD, are among the most secure operating systems available.
|
||||
* **"Free software is used by criminal hackers"** - here, they use the
|
||||
term *hacker* to describe someone who illegally gains access to someone
|
||||
elses computer. Don't fall for it. Maintainers of free operating systems
|
||||
like GNU+Linux distros or the BSDs are actively working to make the internet
|
||||
and computers in general *more secure*
|
||||
* **"Software authors deserve to be paid!"** - In fact, many free software devs
|
||||
are *paid* to work on Free Software! Many companies, including big ones,
|
||||
work on it. There are also hobbyists or otherwise unpaid people, who might
|
||||
work on Free Software for a number of reasons (wanting to make the world a
|
||||
better place, wanting the glory of recognition for solving a major problem,
|
||||
and more often than not, simply because *it is fun to do so and you make a
|
||||
lot of friends too!*) - No, these companies (e.g. Microsoft) are only arguing
|
||||
in reality for the ability to pay their *shareholders*, and they control the
|
||||
software exclusively. In fact, free software has repeatedly and consistently
|
||||
over the years *defined* the computing industry, creating all kinds of new
|
||||
employment opportunities; for example, docker is widely used today and it is
|
||||
free software, used by millions of companies for commercial gain, and the
|
||||
apache web server revolutionized the web back in the day, enabling lots of
|
||||
ISPs to easily host websites - many of the common protocols that we depend
|
||||
upon today, that businesses depend upon (and get paid to maintain or provide
|
||||
services/support for) are in fact free as in freedom!
|
||||
* **"Developers should get recognition for their work"** - in free software, you
|
||||
can easily make a name for yourself with relatively few resources except your
|
||||
own computer and an internet connection, plus some cheap hosting. When most
|
||||
developers work on *proprietary* software such as Windows, they don't get
|
||||
recognition; their copyright is assigned to their employer (e.g. Microsoft)
|
||||
who will take all the credit!
|
||||
* **"Free software is unreliable / costly to maintain"** - actually, it has been
|
||||
well known for years that free software is generally more stable and reliable
|
||||
than proprietary. In cases where it isn't, it is quickly improved, and in
|
||||
complete freedom. Free software has a lower cost to maintain and service, and
|
||||
you have a free market where you can choose who you hire to write/maintain it
|
||||
for you (if you won't do that yourself); meanwhile, proprietary software
|
||||
such as Windows is often full of bugs, crashes often and there is only one
|
||||
provider of support most of the time, who will charge a heavy price, while
|
||||
also charging a lot of money for the software itself - free software
|
||||
is *free as in freedom*, but also usually *free as in zero price*.
|
||||
* **"Free software comes from potentially untrustworthy sources"** - This is
|
||||
pure nonsense, because the very freedoms provided by free software (access
|
||||
to source code, ability to work on it yourself, and see what others did)
|
||||
means that people generally do not add malware to public software sources,
|
||||
because they'd be discovered instantly. *Distributions* of GNU+Linux and
|
||||
other free operating systems are often maintained by many people, who verify
|
||||
the safety of each software package that they provide; they are also usually
|
||||
provided by each *distro*, in a central repository unlike with, say, Windows
|
||||
where you really *are* randomly executing binaries from all kinds of
|
||||
locations (often even without checking the cryptographic checksums of those
|
||||
files, to verify their integrity). It's very hard to become infected with
|
||||
malware on a free system, precisely because security is handled much better;
|
||||
the design of unix-like operating systems in particular is also naturally
|
||||
more secure, due to better separation of root/user privileges.
|
||||
* **"Free software isn't controlled, and is unknown."** - this is completely
|
||||
false. These non-free software companies are only talking about *their*
|
||||
control, and it's quite telling that they completely disregard yours, in this
|
||||
very sentence. In fact, Free Software *is* controlled, but it's not controlled
|
||||
by some external entity; *your* installation of free software is controlled
|
||||
by *you*.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're familiar with the *Matrix* films, proprietary operating systems like
|
||||
Windows/MacOS are basically like the Matrix; bland, no individuality, no
|
||||
independent thought, everything tightly controlled. By contrast, free operating
|
||||
systems (such as GNU+Linux distributions or the BSDs) are like zion/io; vibrant,
|
||||
full of life, buzzing with activity, everything loose and free, and everyone
|
||||
is different (a highly diverse culture of people from all walks of life, acting
|
||||
in common cause but nonetheless individuals).
|
||||
|
||||
Meanwhile, Windows is known to have backdoors. Microsoft actively informs the
|
||||
NSA about how to exploit them, so that it can break into people's computers
|
||||
and steal private data.
|
||||
|
||||
Proprietary software companies are evil, and must be opposed. They know that
|
||||
if this bill passes, their days are numbered.
|
||||
|
||||
Defend freedom! Don't listen to any of the arguments against it by proprietary
|
||||
software companies; they don't care about you, and instead only care about
|
||||
profit. They fundamentally do not want you to have any sort of freedom over
|
||||
your own computer, and they actively pursue tactics (such as DRM) to thwart you.
|
||||
|
||||
Microsoft and Apple are not your friends. There is no such thing as the
|
||||
Windows community. When you use proprietary systems, you are isolated from
|
||||
everyone around you, and so are they. *You* are the product, for the non-free
|
||||
software to exploit at the behest of their developers who only care
|
||||
about *money*.
|
||||
|
||||
However, there *is* such a thing as the Free Software community. It is a
|
||||
vibrant community, consisting of millions of people collectively all over the
|
||||
world, and they are all free to work with each other infinitely. It gave us
|
||||
most of the technology that we take for granted today, including *the modern
|
||||
internet, where ISPs run free software almost exclusively!*
