Documentation: added information about how to use the 'get' scripts in libreboot\_meta.tar.gz (to generate libreboot\_src.tar.gz) - Documentation: mention that meta doesn't create libreboot\_src/ directory, but that libreboot\_meta itself becomes the same. - Documentation: advise to rename libreboot\_meta to libreboot\_src after running 'getall'. - Annotated the 'builddeb' script, to say what each set of dependencies are for. - Separated bucts/flashrom builddeb sections into separate scripts: builddeb-flashrom, builddeb-bucts. - Documentation: Updated relevant parts based on the above. - Added instructions to 'build' script for including builddeb-bucts and builddeb-flashrom in libreboot\_bin - Updated flashrom checkout (r1822 2014-06-16) from SVN (http://flashrom.org/Downloads). -

removed 'MX25L1605' and 'MX25L1605A/MX25L1606E' entries in flashchips.c for the patched version of flashchips.c - added instructions to 'builddeps-flashrom' to automatically use this modified flashchips.c in the default build - Added builddeb to libreboot\_bin.tar.gz - Moved 'bucts' build instructions from builddeps to builddeps-bucts - builddeps now runs 'builddeps-bucts' instead - Added 'builddeps-bucts' to libreboot\_bin.tar.gz - Documentation: Added information about using 'builddep-bucts' to build the BUC.TS utility. - Added 'lenovobios\_firstflash' and 'lenovobios\_secondflash' scripts - Added instructions to 'build' script for including those files in libreboot\_bin - Documentation: Add tutorial for flashing while Lenovo BIOS is 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" equivalent to "sudo ./flashrom/flashrom -p internal -w bin/x60/coreboot\_uk\_dvorak.rom" - updated 'build' script to include the 'flash' script in libreboot\_bin.tar.gz -

see coreboot/src/include/rmodule-defs.h and the rule in 'build' for including this in ../libreboot\_bin/cbfstool\_standalone - Added instructions to 'build' script for applying this patch 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 -
