[coreboot] Coreboot and the NSA's expressed preference for subverting BIOSes

2013-12-30 Thread David Collier-Brown
  As proposed by Der Spiegel at
http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/catalog-reveals-nsa-has-back-doors-for-numerous-devices-a-940994.html
the NSA seems to be interested in subverting BIOSes, lower-level disk
roms and the like.

  May I request you loudly announce how one checksums one's coreboot,
and in principle other BIOSes, so that one can see if anyone has changed
firmware critical to one's security.

[coreboot] Super I/O: Nuvoton NCT6779D support (Incomplete and stuck)

2013-12-30 Thread Alec Ari
Hello everyone! Please note I am not subscribed to the coreboot mailing list so 
if you want to contact me, please do so directly or CC my email address.

I wrote an incomplete port to the Nuvoton NCT6779D Super I/O chip ( 
http://review.coreboot.org/4589 ) I am not sure if publicly sharing the 
datasheet is OK or not (if it is alright, let me know so I can post it as I am 
not under an NDA with Nuvoton by any means) but anyone with Super I/O and 
general hardware / electrical engineering should be able to easily finish up 
the port as most of the work is already done and just needs some tidying up 
(comments in patch indicate possible issues and things I am stuck on.)

The Super I/O is currently used with several ASUS boards such as some of their 
Intel Z77 chipset motherboards (Sabertooth and Maximus V series) F2A85V-PRO 
(AMD FM2 A-series CPUs) and possibly a few others. A few other coreboot 
developers are working on some boards right now that use it, so hopefully my 
patch will assist their efforts.

Thank you, happy coding, and New Years.
