Port the backlight-PWM handling from Skylake instead of the previously
used Haswell version. We use a 200Hz PWM signal for all boards. Which
is higher than the previous devicetree value, 183Hz, but that was over-
ridden by the VBIOS anyway. 200Hz is still very low, considering LED
backlights, but accurate values are unknown at this time.
Lynx Point, the PCH for Haswell and Broadwell, is a transition point
for the backlight-PWM config. On platforms with a PCH, we have:
o Before Lynx Point:
The CPU has no PWM pin and sends the PWM duty-cycle setting
to the PCH. The PCH can choose to ignore that and use its own
setting (BLM_PCH_OVERRIDE_ENABLE).
We use the CPU setting on these platforms.
o Lynx Point + Haswell:
The CPU has an additional PWM pin but can be set up to send
its setting to the PCH as before. The PCH can still choose
to ignore that.
We use the CPU setting with Haswell.
o Lynx Point + Broadwell:
The CPU can't send its setting to the PCH anymore. BLM_PCH_
OVERRIDE_ENABLE must always be set(!) if the PCH PWM pin is
used (it virtually always is).
We have to use the PCH setting in this case.
o After Lynx Point:
Same as with Broadwell, only BLM_PCH_OVERRIDE_ENABLE is
implied and the bit not implemented anymore.

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 https://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:
- https://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
- https://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_TOOLCHAINKconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case). - iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
- pkg-config
- libssl-dev (openssl)
Optional:
- doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
- gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
- ncurses (for
make menuconfigandmake nconfig) - flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)
Building coreboot
Please consult https://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 https://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.
Website and Mailing List
