UPSTREAM: mb/hp: Add new port for compaq_8300_elite_usdt New port based on autoport. Autoport worked with minor tweaks, but fan speeds went almost immediately to the maximum. They are controlled by the NPCD379 Super I/O which isn't supported by coreboot. But coreboot already has code for NPCD378, which HP Compaq 8200 SFF makes use of. So SuperIO configuration was copied from the 8200 SFF port. It seems to work without any issues in "normal" use. Most importantly, fan speed control seems to work correctly. However this means that some of the SuperIO LDNs may be configured incorrectly. See the comments on Gerrit for more information. The following is tested and is working: * Native raminit with both DIMMs * Libgfxinit textmode and framebuffer on both DisplayPorts and VGA * External USB2 and USB3 ports: they all work * USB 3.0 SuperSpeed on Linux-libre (rear, 4 ports) * Ethernet * Mini-PCIe WLAN * SATA: 2.5" SSD and optical drive bay * Booting Live Linuxes from DVD and USB with SeaBIOS 1.16.1 * GRUB (with Libreboot config) * PS/2 keyboard and mouse * S3 suspend and resume, wake using USB keyboard * Headphone output, line out, internal speaker * Wake on LAN * Rebooting * CMOS options & nvramcui Untested: * mSATA slot. The SATA port needs to be enabled on devicetree too, but I'm unable to test due to lack of hardware * Line in, mic input * MXM graphics card * EHCI debug Not working: * Mini-PCIe USB: I couldn't get it working on vendor BIOS either, so maybe it just isn't present * PS/2 keyboard wake from S3 (cherry picked from commit 685097ba3befd40be833f4a8eb43637462d984e4) Original-Change-Id: I2dc31778c2aa1987d5acdf355973a203dd0bb3a3 Original-Signed-off-by: Riku Viitanen <riku.viitanen@protonmail.com> Original-Reviewed-on: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/74906 Original-Reviewed-by: Kyösti Mälkki <kyosti.malkki@gmail.com> Original-Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) <no-reply@coreboot.org> GitOrigin-RevId: 685097ba3befd40be833f4a8eb43637462d984e4 Change-Id: I775230daa6c4dc594f8f32d9b401b7686b1154de Reviewed-on: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromiumos/third_party/coreboot/+/4662838 Tested-by: ChromeOS Prod (Robot) <chromeos-ci-prod@chromeos-bot.iam.gserviceaccount.com> Commit-Queue: Subrata Banik <subratabanik@chromium.org> Tested-by: Subrata Banik <subratabanik@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Subrata Banik <subratabanik@chromium.org>
coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary firmware (BIOS/UEFI) found in most computers. coreboot performs the required hardware initialization to configure the system, then passes control to a different executable, referred to in coreboot as the payload. Most often, the primary function of the payload is to boot the operating system (OS).
With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot is perfect for a wide variety of situations. It can be used for specialized applications that run directly in the firmware, running operating systems from flash, loading custom bootloaders, or implementing firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This flexibility allows coreboot systems to include only the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required.
All source code for coreboot is stored in git. It is downloaded with the command:
git clone https://review.coreboot.org/coreboot.git.
Code reviews are done in the project's Gerrit instance.
The code may be browsed via coreboot's Gitiles instance.
The coreboot project also maintains a mirror of the project on github. This is read-only, as coreboot does not accept github pull requests, but allows browsing and downloading the coreboot source.
After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired “payload” can be started by coreboot.
See https://doc.coreboot.org/payloads.html for a list of some of coreboot's supported payloads.
The coreboot project supports a wide range of architectures, chipsets, devices, and mainboards. While not all of these are documented, you can find some information in the Architecture-specific documentation or the SOC-specific documentation.
For details about the specific mainboard devices that coreboot supports, please consult the Mainboard-specific documentation or the Board Status pages.
Releases are currently done by coreboot every quarter. The release archives contain the entire coreboot codebase from the time of the release, along with any external submodules. The submodules containing binaries are separated from the general release archives. All of the packages required to build the coreboot toolchains are also kept at coreboot.org in case the websites change, or those specific packages become unavailable in the future.
All releases are available on the coreboot download page.
Please note that the coreboot releases are best considered as snapshots of the codebase, and do not currently guarantee any sort of extra stability.
The coreboot build, associated utilities and payloads require many additional tools and packages to build. The actual coreboot binary is typically built using a coreboot-controlled toolchain to provide reproducibility across various platforms. It is also possible, though not recommended, to make it directly with your system toolchain. Operating systems and distributions come with an unknown variety of system tools and utilities installed. Because of this, it isn't reasonable to list all the required packages to do a build, but the documentation lists the requirements for a few different Linux distributions.
To see the list of tools and libraries, along with a list of instructions to get started building coreboot, go to the Starting from scratch tutorial page.
That same page goes through how to use QEMU to boot the build and see the output.
Further details on the project, as well as links to documentation and more can be found on the coreboot website:

There are many files in the coreboot tree that we feel are not copyrightable due to a lack of creative content.
“In order to qualify for copyright protection in the United States, a work must satisfy the originality requirement, which has two parts. The work must have “at least a modicum” of creativity, and it must be the independent creation of its author.”

These uncopyrightable files include:
As non-creative content, these files are in the public domain by default. As such, the coreboot project excludes them from the project's general license even though they may be included in a final binary.

The copyright on coreboot is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies. A list of companies and individuals with known copyright claims is present at the top level of the coreboot source tree in the ‘AUTHORS’ file.

Because of the way coreboot began, using a significant amount of source code from the Linux kernel, it's licensed the same way as the Linux Kernel, with GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 2. Individual files are licensed under various licenses, though all are compatible with GPLv2. The resulting coreboot image is licensed under the GPL, version 2. All source files should have an SPDX license identifier at the top for clarification.

The libpayload project contained in coreboot/payloads/libpayload may be licensed as BSD or GPL, depending on the code pulled in during the build process. All GPL source code should be excluded unless the Kconfig option to include it is set.
Since 2017, coreboot has been a member of The Software Freedom Conservancy, a nonprofit organization devoted to ethical technology and driving initiatives to make technology more inclusive. The conservancy acts as coreboot's fiscal sponsor and legal advisor.
