This commit adds support for the t530 and w530 boards to enable dGPUs. dGPU's are required for DisplayPort external displays in the t530 dgpu model, and for both the VGA dn DisplayPort external displays in the W530 (which has two dGPUs, the K1000M and K2000M, hence two boards). The commit does the following:
1. Adds automated extraction scripts for vbios modelled on the me script in the blobs directory (one per board is necessary as it is based on board-specific bios updates).
2. Adds specific boards for the various dGPU models and corresponding coreboot configs.
3. Updates circleci config.yaml to run scripts and test boards.
Tested and working on T530 dgpu and W530 K1000M. dGPU scripts tested on Debian 10 and Ubuntu 21.04
- me_cleaner downloaded from 43612a630c/me_cleaner.py
- placed under xx30 blobs dir
- CircleCI uses it locally without downloading it everytime (me_cleaner hasn<t changed since 2018)
Incorrect parentheses brackets used in those scripts meant that the script as a whole did not return the correct exit code. The use of `( )` brackets created a sub-shell to which the exit code applied to that sub-shell. Changing to `{ }` does not create a sub-shell and as such, the script will return its true return code.
* xx30-*-maximized: update flashrom options removing --ifd bios option, keeping whole flash of rom internally. WARNING: ifd needs to be initially unlocked through ifdtool -u on 8mb bottom SPI backup. YOU CANNOT COME FROM 1VYRAIN. IF COMING FROM SKULLS, YOU MUST HAVE RAN OPTIONAL -u OPTION FROM SKULLS. PLEASE UPGRADE ONLY AFTER HAVING A PHYSICAL BACKUP OF BOTH SPI FLASH CHIPS. MORE INFORMATION UNDER https://github.com/osresearch/heads/pull/703. This will guarantee that future flash of produced rom will reflash the ROM totally, where heads make sure of adding users customizations (public key, /etc/config.user) when internally flashed. Unfortunately, if you flash externally, you will have to reinject your public key and readd /etc/config customizations.
* Adding generated bincfg coreboot 4.8.1 patch (merged under coreboot 4.13 and backported here to 4.8.1), resulting in gbe.bin under blobs/xx30/gbe.bin and instructions to replicate in README prior of automation (under repo). Note that MAC under gbe.bin is fixed to DE:AD:C0:FF:EE unless extract.sh script is ran on external backup to keep current user's MAC (Thanks to @Thrilleratplay's contribution!)
* xx30 blobs: add two blobs management scripts for xx30: extract from local backup/download+neuter ME
extract.sh: extract from external backup: gbe.bin, neuter under me.bin and maximize BIOS+reduce ME regions under unlocked ifd.bin.
download_clean_me.sh: download and verify Lenovo latest ME version from website, and drop me.bin in place.
Note: me.bin is 98kb, containing only BUP and ROMP partitions which cannot be modified nor deleted else computer won't boot. As a result, BIOS region is maximized in ifd.bin to 11.5mb and coreboot config takes advantage of that freed space.
* CircleCI: xx30-*-maximized additional step to call download_clean_me.sh prior of building boards so that me.bin is dopped in place. This should be done by users prior of building xx30-*-maximized boards locally, which is imitated in CircleCI builds (look at .circleci/config.yaml for innoextract host added dependency and board buildings. Results on github for each commit).
