For X60/X60T/T60
An optimization was made earlier to reduce the number of steps
taken but it was found that the ROM images did not contain
identical data in the top two 64K regions of the image.
This would have bricked the users machine if the followed the
correct instructions, even. This patch fixed the issue.

Should speed up the build process a little bit.

This reverts commit 5a8ea556881dca34aefe2d8709c6576e488276f0.

Remove comment contradicting this.
|
|
This is done before creating the copies, so all images are dd'd.
Buliding should take less time now.

This reverts commit 3e1712768172e53ed02da96e1bb392edaa219de7.
|
|
This is to reduce the size of the image. To accomplish this,
the payload in each coreboot configuration was set to 'None',
after which the buildrom-withgrub script was modified to
build a new grub.elf for each image. This is fast, since
building the grub.elf only takes less than a second. The
alternative was to build a new coreboot ROM per keymap,
which would have been slow.
Other files were also modified along with this, check
the diff to see everything.
|
|
This is so that scripts using these in the future can
more easily debug if errors occur.
|
|
Set the GRUB configs to use (memdisk) instead of (cbfsdisk) for
these files.
This reduces the space used in CBFS because coreboot compresses
it's payloads with LZMA by default.
Most users will only want to use cbfstool to modify the grub.cfg
or grubtest.cfg.
|
|
Add set -e -u -v to all scripts.
flash, lenovobios_firstflash, lenovobios_secondflash
and macbook21_firstflash only have -v set because
these are expected to have errors
powertop.trisquel6 has nothing added.

Instead, the user adds it afterwards. Documentation and scripts updated.

text-mode).

machines.
- Added instructions for it in builddeps, builddeps-i945pwm,
builddeb and cleandeps
- 'build' script: removed the parts that generated sha512sum manifests
(not needed, since release tarballs are GPG-signed)

documentation) to accomodate this change.

buildpac (../docs/index.html updated accordingly)
- Renamed builddeb to deps-trisquel (../docs/index.html updated
accordingly)
- Renamed buildpac to deps-parabola (../docs/index.html updated
accordingly)
- Documentation: removed all parts talking about build dependencies,
replaced them with links to ../docs/index.html#build_dependencies
- Documentation: emphasized more strongly on the documentation, the
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).
- Documentation: added ../docs/howtos/encrypted_trisquel.html showing
how to setup a fully encrypted Trisquel installation (including
/boot) and boot it from the GRUB payload.
- 'build' script: replaced grub.elf assembly instructons, it's now
handled by a utility added under resources/utilities/grub-assemble

- Documentation: updated ../docs/index.html#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)

- insmod instructions to load those modules: nativedisk, ehci, ohci,
uhci, usb, usbserial_pl2303, usbserial_ftdi, usbserial_usbdebug
- set prefix=(memdisk)/boot/grub

- gfxpayload=keep
- terminal_output --append gfxterm

debian-installer (Trisquel net install) to
../docs/howtos/grub_boot_installer.html

We should use set -e in future to detect earlier more significant
failures.

- Documentation: improved (more explanations, background info) in
docs/howtos/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 ROM's 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
of Michał Masłowski)

2nd beta was listed as being in year 2016, when in actual fact it
was 2014.

on the ThinkPad T60 that were found to fail (instability, kernel
panics, etc) without the microcode updates.

to change the heatsink on the Thinkpad X60
- Added ROM images for Azerty (French) keyboard layout in GRUB
(courtesy of Olivier Mondoloni)
- Tidied up some scripts:
- Re-factored those scripts (made easier to read/maintain):
build-x60, build-x60t, build-t60, build-macbook21
- Reduced the number of grub configs to 2 (or 1, for macbook21), the
build scripts now generate the other configs at build time.
- Deleted build-x60, build-x60t, build-t60, build-macbook21 and
replaced with intelligent (generic) buildrom-withgrub script
- Updated build to use buildrom-withgrub script for building the ROM
images.
- coreboot.rom and coreboot_serial.rom renamed to
coreboot_usqwerty.rom and coreboot_serial_usqwerty.rom
- coreboot_dvorak and coreboot_serial_dvorak.rom renamed to
coreboot_usdvorak.rom and coreboot_serial_usdvorak.rom
- Renamed coreboot*rom to libreboot*rom
- Made flash, lenovobios_firstflash and lenovobios_secondflash
scripts fail if the specified file does not exist.
- Updated all relevant parts of the documentation to reflect the
above.
- Replaced background.png with background.jpg. added
gnulove.jpg. (resources/grub/background/)
- Updated buildrom-withgrub to use background.jpg instead of
background.png
- Updated buildrom-withgrub to use gnulove.jpg aswell
- Updated resources/grub/config/macbook21/grub*cfg to use gnulove.jpg
background.
- Updated resources/grub/config/{x60,t60,x60t}/grub*cfg to use
background.jpg background.
- Documentation: updated docs/index.html#grub_custom_keyboard to be
more generally useful.
- nvramtool:
- Updated builddeps-coreboot script to build it
- Updated build script to include it in libreboot_bin
- Documentation: added docs/howtos/x60_security.html (security
hardening for X60)
