* Documentation: merged X200 flashing instructions with mainFrancis Rowe2014-12-301-2/+1
|
* Removed redundant flashchip definitions in flashromFrancis Rowe2014-12-291-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | For X200 owners with one of the Macronix flash chips. There are multiple definitions for almost the same chip, and they are all detected at once. Normally the user has to use the -c argument in flashrom to select a flash chip. With this modification, they can run flashrom without the argument. Deletion of redundant flash chip definitions is now also handled by getflashrom instead of builddeps-flashrom. builddeps-flashrom now only patches for i945 lenovo bios sst/macronix.

* Revert "docs/release.html Move vortex86ex back to critical tasks"Francis Rowe2014-11-171-3/+3
| | | | | | | This reverts commit 11b5bb1158f61fd3e9653ae1b8e2f083ce99f81d. Distribution for i586-only CPU's is limited now, and there will be a very limited number of users for this machine. Putting it in the low priority list, this time permanently.

* Libreboot release 6 beta 5 correction 1.Francis Rowe2014-08-221-11/+19
| | | | | | | | - Fixed typo where revision list for 5th beta was listed as March 11th 2014, when in fact it was August 11th 2014 - Fixed incorrect grub.cfg that was actually placed in resources/grub/config/x60/grub_usqwerty.cfg which broke the default GRUB menu entry on X60
* Libreboot release 6 beta 5.r20140811Francis Rowe2014-08-221-0/+876
- build: added 'luks', 'lvm', 'cmosdump' and 'cmostest' to the list of modules for grub.elf - Documentation: added pics showing T60 unbricking (still need to write a tutorial) - build: include cmos.layout (coreboot/src/mainboard/manufacturer/model/cmos.layout) files in libreboot_bin - Documentation: added ../docs/howtos/x60tablet_unbrick.html - Documentation: added ../docs/howtos/t60_unbrick.html - Documentation: added ../docs/howtos/t60_lcd_15.html - Documentation: added ../docs/howtos/t60_security.html - Documentation: added ../docs/howtos/t60_heatsink.html - Documentation: Renamed RELEASE.html to release.html - Documentation: removed pcmcia reference in x60_security.html (it's cardbus) - Documentation: added preliminary information about randomized seal (for physical intrusion detection) in x60_security.html and t60_security.html - Documentation: added preliminary information about preventing/mitigating cold-boot attack in x60_security.html and t60_security.html - Documentation: added info to ../docs/index.html#macbook21 warning about issues with macbook21 - Documentation: X60/T60: added information about checking custom ROM's using dd to see whether or not the top 64K region is duplicated below top or not. Advise caution about this in the tutorial that deals with flashing on top of Lenovo BIOS, citing the correct dd commands necessary if it is confirmed that the ROM has not been applied with dd yet. (in the case that the user compiled their own ROM's from libreboot, without using the build scripts, or if they forgot to use dd, etc). - Split resources/libreboot/patch/gitdiff into separate patch files (getcb script updated to accomodate this change). - Re-added .git files to bucts - Fixed the oversight where macbook21_firstflash wasn't included in binary archives
