<h1 id="newpatch_libreboot">Add/remove/modify patches in coreboot-libre</h1>
<p>
- TODO: write this section
+ Under <b>resources/scripts/helpers/download/coreboot</b> you can find
+ the instructions used for patching coreboot.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Modify the commit ID on the <i>git reset --hard</i> line accordingly,
+ and update the list of patches used accordingly. Do not cherry-pick
+ from review.coreboot.org directly; instead, include the diff in
+ resources/libreboot/patch/ and use <i>git am</i>
+ (you can get the diff by using git-format-patch).
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ When you're done, simply download coreboot again:<br/>
+ $ <b>./download coreboot</b>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Finally, re-build the parts from coreboot that are used
+ by the build system:<br/>
+ $ <b>./build module coreboot</b>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Instead of running the above command, you can save time
+ by copying out the crossgcc that you compiled before
+ (from coreboot/util/crossgcc/) and then putting it back.
+ After you've done that, run everything in
+ <i>resources/scripts/helpers/build/module/coreboot</i>
+ except for the part that builds GCC.
