From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi all . I currently have version 2023.06.25 installed, stable. Tell me how to install the latest version 20240612? I see a lot of changes here https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbwww/commit/d8bcd5c7044e28c6e20778ea25f6b907092a7e52 If I understand correctly the mechanism for introducing blob objects has changed, how can I check the ROM after I run the command $ ./build roms t440plibremrc_12mb

I'm not sure what you mean by "checking the ROM"...

I’m not sure what you mean by “checking the ROM”…

Hello . I mean, how do I know that there are blob objects embedded in the ROM, without which my laptop won’t turn on, I mean mrc.bin

Previously I could check this using the command:

./cbfstool grub_t440pmrc_12mb_libgfxinit_corebootfb_usqwerty.rom print

Oh you can still do that. The path changed to elf/cbfstool/[TREE]/cbfstool (replace [TREE] with the tree concerened). Note that since the switch to the libre RAM init code, mrc.bin is not included anymore

I installed the updated version 20240612 everything worked as you said. Checking nothing as in the previous instructions does not give anything, as you wrote: after switching to the libre RAM initialization code mrc.bin no longer turns on.

Now i need to edit grub.cfg because I get an error with searching for the achi1 disk
