|
|
'getcb' script for reference)
|
|
- DEBLOBBED coreboot
|
|
- Removed the part from memtest86+ 'make' where it tried to connect
|
|
to some scp server while compiling. (commented out line 24 in the
|
|

|
- X60 now uses a single .config (for coreboot)
|
|

|
|
code) from Vladimir Serbinenko: 5320/9 from review.coreboot.org
|
|
- T60 is now supported, with native graphics. (5345/4 from
|
|
review.coreboot.org, cherry-picked on top of 5320/9 checkout)
|
|

|
'builddeps'.
|
|
- Added builddeps-flashprog to libreboot\_bin.tar.gz
|
|
- flashprog: added patched flashchips.c to resources/flashprog/patch
|
|
(automatically use correct macronix chip on libreboot, without using
|
|
'-c' switch)

|
- Documentation: Add tutorial for flashing while Lenovo BIOS is
|
|
running (on X60/T60)
|
|
- Added 'flash' script (make sure to run builddeps-flashprog first)
|
|
which (while libreboot is already running) can use flashprog to flash
|
|
a ROM
|
|
- eg: "sudo ./flash bin/x60/coreboot\_serial\_ukdvorak.rom"
|
|
equivalent to "sudo ./flashprog/flashprog -p internal -w
|
|
bin/x60/coreboot\_uk\_dvorak.rom"
|
|
- updated 'build' script to include the 'flash' script in
|

|
|
requiring the entire coreboot source code.
|
|

|
|
it into resources/cbfstool/patch
|
|
- see coreboot/util/cbfstool/rmodule.c and then the patched
|
|
version in resources/cbfstool/patch/rmodule.c
|

|
|
'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
|
|
- Updated the 'build' script to put 'builddeps-cbfstool' in

|
|
- Documentation: added information about LCD inverters (for upgrading
|
|
the LCD panel on a T60 14.1' XGA or 15.1' XGA)
|
|
- 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

|
|
make builddeps-flashprog 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.
|
|
