**NOTE: Haswell machines come with `mrc.bin` or without, depending on the
ROM image configuration. These ROM configs have `mrc.bin`: `t440pmrc_12mb`
and `w541mrc_12mb`. These ROM configs have libre MRC: `t440p_12mb`
and `w541_12mb` - it is critical that you choose the right one, when using
the `-b` flag in the `./vendor inject` command. For example, if you
used `-b t440p_12mb` on a ROM image that actually corresponds
to `t440pmrc_12mb`, then the required `mrc.bin` file would not be added
and that ROM would not boot when flashed.**
NOTE: As of Libreboot releases from May 2024 onward, the Intel MRC is no longer
included for Haswell; MRC is a blob for raminit, but we now provide libre
raminit. The following targets no longer exist in the build system:
* `t440pmrc_12mb` (use `t440plibremrc_12mb` instead)

This is written as errata because some users may still be using older release
images but on the newer build system from May 2024 onward; you must use the
Libreboot 20240225 release if you want to inject MRC and so on, for these older
targets.
Libreboot's [binary blob reduction policy](../../news/policy.md) is very strict,
and states: if a blob can be avoided, it must be avoided. Therefore, the MRC
is removed on Haswell and Libreboot will only use the libre raminit (called
NRI, short for Native Ram Initialisation).

The script can automatically detect the board as long as you do not change the file name.
You can then find flash-ready ROMs in `/bin/release/`
Alternatively, you may patch only a single rom file.
For example (libre replacement of `mrc.bin`):
For example:
./vendor inject -r t440p_libreboot.rom -b t440p_12mb
./vendor inject -r t440p_libreboot.rom -b t440plibremrc_12mb
Optionally, you can use this script to modify the mac address of the rom with the `-m` flag.
For example:
./vendor inject -r t440p_libreboot.rom -b t440p_12mb -m 00:f6:f0:40:71:fd
If you're flashing a ROM that needs vendor file `mrc.bin`, you would do one of these
instead, for example:
./vendor inject -r t440p_libreboot.rom -b t440pmrc_12mb
or (inserting a different MAC address)
./vendor inject -r t440p_libreboot.rom -b t440pmrc_12mb -m 00:f6:f0:40:71:fd
./vendor inject -r t440p_libreboot.rom -b t440plibremrc_12mb -m 00:f6:f0:40:71:fd
