I fully understand that companies like Google which rely on shipping
coreboot would like it to be as easy as possible to port new platforms. At
the same time, this is a large number of AGESA platforms which have active
and vocal users. They no doubt would like to stay with the mainline to
continue to see fixes and enhancements like
https://github.com/osresearch/heads/issues/453.

I'm interested in what would get everyone to a better state where things go
more smoothly. There is work underway to overcome the requirements this
time. Now is the best time to think about what can be done to ease the
maintenance burden before the next requirement creates another crisis.

For example, untangling the AGESA code from the mainboard code to make it
more FSP-like. Examining the stages of what it does and better documenting
it so that e.g. the unknown resources that have been holding up the
allocator switchover are easier to find. Isolating the AGESA code into
stages to make it more modular and improve the most troublesome parts. To
work towards a more "native" port, what makes the most sense to tackle
first? I'm no expert in either AGEA or the minute of coreboot's structure
but those are some things that come to mind.

As an interested user I'm fully willing and committed to contribute funding
towards such work. Everyone involved in the project has the same goal in
the end.

[coreboot] spkmodem output

2021-12-04 Thread Keith Emery



I had a bit of a brainwave regarding what might be happening with this 
spkmodem output. I was hoping to collect peoples thoughts in regards to 
weather I might be at least possibly on the right track.


When I enable spkmodem in the coreboot config, I get output from the PC 
speaker. But spkmodem-recv interprets the tones as consistent gibberish. 
The output is consistent with a mismatch in the baud rates, but there 
appears no apparent way to select anything different in the 
spkmodem-recv software. If the CPU is running coreboot as fast as 
possible while receiving those instructions from a relatively slow SPI 
bus. Is it possible that I've somehow overclocked the SPI bus, leading 
to a mismatch in the baud rates?

based on what I'm seeing so far, 100 hours just means "compiles",
which is only a fraction of the possible effort to get it to "works".
You then have 50 boards to get working.

and even then, at real world rates, 100 hours -> 25,000.

There's only so much we can do. I at least would be way happier to see
effort going into new boards.

2021-12-04 Thread Keith Emery



I only said 100 hours because that was the figure that somebody stated 
to shift all the listed boards onto the new Resource Allocator. We need 
that to happen if these boards are to see maintenance in the future, so 
I figured it made sense to just start with that.

It's very hard to let old systems go. But there's always a tradeoff.

  From my point of view, I'd be very grateful if we could get this
community strongly engaged in getting upstream coreboot builds working
on, e.g., chromebooks.

I.e., upstream coreboot working on systems that are designed for, and
ship with, coreboot. Even things that look easy are not always easy.

Nobody is stopping anyone from cleaning up the AGESA code. But it's
been about 10 years since it came in, and such cleanup has yet to
happen.

We should move forward with the resource allocator, and if a board
can't work with v4, and nobody is willing to do the work, that board
should be left out of new releases. Having v3 and v4 both in-tree is
not a viable long term strategy.

Where to advance? Are there any "newer platforms" that are as worthy

...open-source AGESA seems worse to me. In theory one could review it,
but did anyone? AIUI, it even provides runtime code for the OS (ACPI
DSDT), i.e. tells the OS what to do.

So what you call "real security" seems more like wishful security to
me. Presence of ME or PSP does not provide a security issue per se. It
depends on your threat model and if they are your weakest spot. There
are plenty of controllers even in older machines that run code from ROM
masks. What's the difference? Can we trust vendors with code in ROM
masks but not with code in flash? These are subtle considerations. So
far, it doesn't make older hardware more attractive to me.

Did I mention that at least one of the pre-PSP platforms already has
a PSP, just hidden? Ok, I admit I didn't look at the silicon to check,
but it's common that a silicon vendor puts new stuff early into chips
to test it. So it seems very likely to be true. We generally don't
know what exactly lives in these chips. I rather trust what I can see.


2) as affordable: the older devices are possible to get used for like
$100-$200. Meanwhile - because of Boot Guard etc. - the "newer
platforms" are unlikely to have coreboot without vendor's involvement,
who will gladly charge a big extra for "coreboot support".

Last time I checked BootGuard wasn't a big issue, i.e. not so many
devices ship with it. Did that

  Need to check with MTK folks, but I'd assume the 100ms will be

  Agree with Patrick - many eMMC devices do need early init, so in the
end we still have to put some eMMC code in Coreboot,
  and I'd assume that will be the same situation for PCI-e (NVMe) and UFS.

[coreboot] Add memory support for mb/apple: MacBook Air 5,2 (A1466)

2021-12-04 Thread Mariusz Grabarczyk
Hi

I would like to have memory support added for mb/apple: MacBook Air 5,2 (A1466)
Per

If your RAM configuration is not supported, you can help supporting it. Run
`sudo inteltool -m`, save output to a text file and send a message to coreboot

inteltool -g | get_macbook_ramcfg -m mba52
unsupported memory configuration 1

inteltool -m >> macbook52_memory

Attached is dump file

macbook52_memory
Description: Binary data
