Support for the MIPS architecture will also be removed shortly after

this release as the only board in the tree was a discontinued development

board and no other work has picked up MIPS support, so it's very likely

broken already.

Significant changes
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
### Add significant changes here
|
||||
|
||||
### `__PRE_RAM__` is deprecated
|
||||
|
||||
Preprocessor use of `defined(__PRE_RAM_)` have been mostly replaced with
|
||||
Preprocessor use of `defined(__PRE_RAM__)` have been mostly replaced with
|
||||
`if (ENV_ROMSTAGE_OR_BEFORE)` or the inverse `if (ENV_RAMSTAGE)`.
|
||||
|
||||
The remaining cases and `-D__PRE_RAM__` are to be removed soon after release.

|
|||
Significant refactoring has bee done to achieve some consistency across platforms
|
||||
and to reduce code duplication.
|
||||
|
||||
### Build system amenities ###
|
||||
|
||||
The build system now has an `all` class of source files to remove the need to
|
||||
list source files for each and every source class (romstage, ramstage, ...)
|
||||
|
||||
The site-local/ mechanism became more robust.
|
||||
|
||||
### Stricter coding standards to improve security ###
|
||||
|
||||
The build now fails on variable length arrays (that make it way too easy to
|
||||
smash a stack) and case statements falling through without a note that it is
|
||||
intentional.
|
||||
|
||||
### Shorter file headers ###
|
||||
|
||||
This project is still under way, but we started moving author information
|
||||
from individual files into the global AUTHORS file (and there's the git
|
||||
history for more details).
|
||||
|
||||
In the future, we also want to replace the license headers (lots of lines)
|
||||
in each file with spdx identifiers (one line) and so we added a LICENSES/
|
||||
directory that contains the full text of all the licenses that are used
|
||||
throughout our tree.
|
||||
|
||||
### Variant creation scripts ###
|
||||
|
||||
To ease the creation of variant boards, `util/mainboard/` now contains
|
||||
scripts to generate a new variant to a given board. These are still
|
||||
specific to google/hatch at this time, but they're written with the idea
|
||||
of becoming more generally useful.
|
||||
|
||||
### Payloads ###
|
||||
|
||||
Payload integration has been updated, coreinfo learned to cope with
|
||||
UPPER CASE commands and libpayload knows how to deal with USB3 hubs.
|
||||
|
||||
### Added VBOOT support to the following platforms:
|
||||
* intel/gm45
|
||||
* intel/nehalem
