In addition to being able to flash a ROM from the GUI, it would also be
useful for a user to be able to add a GPG key to their keyring using the
flashing tool. This change adds the ability for a user to edit both a
ROM located on a USB key and also edit the running BIOS by using
flashrom to make a local copy of the running BIOS, edit it, then reflash
it. This also supports the upcoming delete feature in CBFS for
circumstances where keyring files already exist within CBFS.
If we want to modify a running BIOS we will need the ability to pull
down the current BIOS, modify it, and then reflash. This change adds a
read option to flash.sh and pulls down three versions of the BIOS and
only exists successfully if all three match.
To keep the flash logic simpler the GUI logic has been split into a
flash-gui.sh program so flash.sh behaves closer to the original flashrom
scripts it was based from. I've also removed the previous flashrom
scripts and incorporated their options into flash.sh. Finally I set
CONFIG_BOARD via the Makefile instead of setting a duplicate option in
each board's config.
Based on the conversation for PR #406, we decided to go with a more
generic script for general-purpose flashing instead of having individual
(and therefore very similar) flash scripts for each board type. This
script currently handles flashrom on Librem and X230 board types and
introduces a new CONFIG_BOARD option that sets specific flashrom
arguments based on the board.
It also adds support to gui-init to call this flash script.
Wrapping text to 80 characters works but due to font size and padding
the maximum 80 character lines start to get truncated. Extending the
window to 90 characters will resolve this.
While the whiptail program wraps text appropriately based on column
size, the fbwhiptail program doesn't, leading to text that scrolls off
the window where it can no longer be read. This change wraps the longer
text output so it all fits.
Since fbwhiptail allows us to customize the background colors, we should
colorize warnings and error messages to provide a user with an
additional subtle cue that there might be a problem. I have added two
additional configuration options:
CONFIG_WARNING_BG_COLOR
CONFIG_ERROR_BG_COLOR
and in the librem13v2.config file you can see an example for how to set
them to be yellow and red gradients, respectively. I've also updated the
main two scripts that use whiptail to include those background colors.
If you decide to use regular whiptail, just don't set these config
options and it should behave as expected.
When a user gets confirmation of their boot menu choice, that's largely
to give them the option of making their boot choice the default. In the
case of "force mode" there's no reason for the user to be presented with
that dialog so this change skips right ahead to the boot once they have
