Squash of #1502 + moving logo/bootsplash files under branding/Heads
- Move logos and bootsplashes from blobs to branding/Heads/
- Makefile: add support for BRAND_DIR which depends on BRAND_NAME which defaults to Heads if no branding
- Boards coreboot configs: change bootsplash directory to depend on BRAND_DIR (instead of BLOBS_DIR) in bootsplash enabled configs
- Branding/Heads/bootsplash-1024x768.jpg points to branding/Heads/d-wid-ThePlexus_coreboot-linuxboot-heads_background-plain_DonateQrCode.jpg
- xcf file deleted. Original still under #1502 to reuse for modification without recompressing (blobs/heads.xcf)
- CREDITS file created to point to original authors, remixers (Open for details)
- Thanks to: @d-wid for remixing Bing's AI generated Janus logo, @ThePlexus for Qubes Box concept and @ThrillerAtPlay for its matrix background
- intel igpu related - remove i915drmfb hacks and use simplefb and libgfxinit enabled fb
- coreboot 4.19: add patch to fix https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/500. fbwhiptail still tears screen if in native 1366x769 though
- coreboot 4.19: add patch to enable linux tampoline handle coreboot framebuffer (merged https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/76431)
- coreboot 4.19: add patch to enable coreboot to apply jpeg voodoo to create bootsplash.jpeg injected in cbfs at build time + CircleCI apt imagemagick
- (Thanks Nico Huber @icon again for above patches!)
- coreboot configs: adapt VESAFB/LIBGFXINIT to use maximum fb height/width
- coreboot configs for iGPU only: CONFIG_LINEAR_FRAMEBUFFER_MAX_HEIGHT CONFIG_LINEAR_FRAMEBUFFER_MAX_WIDTH to native size
- coreboot configs for dGPU based on Optional VBIOS injected: VESAFB set to 1280x1024 (maximum possible).
Details:
coreboot configs: remove CONFIG_LINUX_COMMAND_LINE="drm_kms_helper.drm_leak_fbdev_smem=1 i915.enable_fbc=0"
- Those were needed to expose i915drmfb driver prior of efifb working.
Remove CONFIG_NO_GFX_INIT from configs having CONFIG_NORTHBRIDGE_INTEL_SANDYBRIDGE=y
Add CONFIG_BOOTSPLASH_IMAGE from configs having CONFIG_NORTHBRIDGE_INTEL_SANDYBRIDGE=y
Add CONFIG_LINEAR_FRAMEBUFFER from configs having CONFIG_NORTHBRIDGE_INTEL_SANDYBRIDGE=y
Set BOOTSPLASH parameters to match bootsplash and jpeg requirements
+CONFIG_LINEAR_FRAMEBUFFER_MAX_HEIGHT=768
+CONFIG_LINEAR_FRAMEBUFFER_MAX_WIDTH=1024
+CONFIG_BOOTSPLASH=y
Others paramaters defined per board default setting with coreboot.save_oldconfig_in_place helper
- add additional kernel boot params for i915 where needed:
- adds : drm_kms_helper.drm_leak_fbdev_smem=1 i915.enable_fbc=0 ( to permit kexec into vesa fb of kexec'ed kernel for i915 driven gpus without framebuffer compression, leaking smem fbdev address for kexec to pickup )
