Some mainboards need to disable the power button to avoid turning off right after being turned on, while other boards ship with a jumper over the power button and should allow the user to configure the behavior. This adds infrastructure in the form of four mutually exclusive options which can be selected in a mainboard Kconfig (power button forced on/off, and user-controllable with default on/off) and one result bool which source code can test. (Enable the button or not.) The options have been implemented in CS5536 code and for all mainboards which select SOUTHBRIDGE_AMD_CS5536, but should be used also by other chipsets where applicable. Note that if chipset code uses the result bool ENABLE_POWER_BUTTON, then every board using that chipset must select one out of the four control options in order to build. All touched boards should have unchanged behavior, except pcengines/alix1c, traverse/geos and lippert/hurricane-lx where the power button can now be configured by the user. Build tested for alix1c, alix2d, hurricane-lx and wyse-s50. Confirmed to work as advertised on alix1c both with button enabled and disabled. Includes additional traverse/geos changes from Nathan and lippert/hurricane-lx changes from Jens to correctly use the new feature on those boards.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS you can find in most of today's computers. It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes one of many possible payloads, e.g. a Linux kernel or a bootloader. 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 ------------------ * gcc / g++ * make Optional: * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation) * iasl (for targets with ACPI support) * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets) * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig') * 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.
