The virtualized developer switch was invented five years ago and has been used on every vboot system ever since. We shouldn't need to specify it again and again for every new board. This patch flips the Kconfig logic around and replaces CONFIG_VIRTUAL_DEV_SWITCH with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_DEV_SWITCH, so that only a few ancient boards need to set it and it fits better with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_REC_SWITCH. (Also set the latter for Lumpy which seems to have been omitted incorrectly, and hide it from menuconfig since it's a hardware parameter that shouldn't be configurable.) Since almost all our developer switches are virtual, it doesn't make sense for every board to pass a non-existent or non-functional developer mode switch in the coreboot tables, so let's get rid of that. It's also dangerously confusing for many boards to define a get_developer_mode() function that reads an actual pin (often from a debug header) which will not be honored by coreboot because CONFIG_PHYSICAL_DEV_SWITCH isn't set. Therefore, this patch removes all those non-functional instances of that function. In the future, either the board has a physical dev switch and must define it, or it doesn't and must not. In a similar sense (and since I'm touching so many board configs anyway), it's annoying that we have to keep selecting EC_SOFTWARE_SYNC. Instead, it should just be assumed by default whenever a Chrome EC is present in the system. This way, it can also still be overridden by menuconfig.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload. With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required. coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS. Payloads -------- After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot. See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads. Supported Hardware ------------------ coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards. For details please consult: * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices Build Requirements ------------------ * make * gcc / g++ Because Linux distribution compilers tend to use lots of patches. coreboot does lots of "unusual" things in its build system, some of which break due to those patches, sometimes by gcc aborting, sometimes - and that's worse - by generating broken object code. Two options: use our toolchain (eg. make crosstools-i386) or enable the ANY_TOOLCHAIN Kconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case). * iasl (for targets with ACPI support) Optional: * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation) * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets) * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig' and 'make nconfig') * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers) Building coreboot ----------------- Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details. Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware ------------------------------------------------ If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU. Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details. Website and Mailing List ------------------------ Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website: http://www.coreboot.org You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list: http://www.coreboot.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on coreboot is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
