Resizing BIOS chip from 8MB to 16MB - howto article
by Rafael Send 06 May '20

06 May '20

Hi all- I wrote up an article (or, more like a step-by-step guide) on how to resize the BIOS chip from 8MB to 16MB. This is particularly handy for people (like myself) who want more space for payloads. This was done on an X210, but theoretically it should work fine on other platforms as well, as long the target chip size is supported by one's chipset. Feel free to point out any issues or clarifications that need to happen, and don't look at the rest of my site (just kidding, but I haven't really touched it in years and it's horribly out of date). https://rsend.wordpress.com/x210-coreboot/increasing-rom-chip-size-on-an-x2… Cheers, Rafael

Planning the next coreboot release
by Patrick Georgi 05 May '20

05 May '20

Hi everybody, it's that time of year again: we should look into cutting a release. Not because there's anything noteworthy that we should bring out (although there certainly is), but because we have a 6-monthly cadence of giving our tree a new number and pushing out tarballs and press releases. I plan to do the release on or shortly after May 11, and this announcement is in accordance to the process detailed on https://doc.coreboot.org/releases/checklist.html, so we're at the "~2 weeks prior to release" point right now. As such, there are a number of things I ask of you (all of you subscribed to the list, but since you're reading this mail, yes, I mean you, personally!): 1. If you have anything big that you want to get in before the release, it's on you to maintain the changes responsibly and responsively so that it all works out in time. I'll gladly help coordinate things but I'm not interested in last-minute heroics, so get in touch with me ASAP. 2. Please try to postpone riskier refactorings and the like until after the release (unless they're ready to land in the next few days), so that people have a solid foundation to test their hardware on. Which gets us to the next point: 3. Please test your coreboot-supported gear if you can, report and/or fix issues, and upload fresh reports to the board-status repo. While we have no quality requirement for releases - they're _really_ only about giving the tree a new number, a release is a good opportunity to verify that what we have in the tree is still functional, with only limited work required to pin-point new issues (bisections since 4.11 should take 12 steps or less at this time). 4. Please check the preliminary release notes in Documentation/releases/coreboot-4.12-relnotes.md and add whatever happened since 4.11 that you think is noteworthy. If in doubt, push a change to gerrit and see what your fellow developers think about it. Thanks, Patrick Georgi -- Google Germany GmbH, ABC-Str. 19, 20354 Hamburg Registergericht und -nummer: Hamburg, HRB 86891, Sitz der Gesellschaft: Hamburg Geschäftsführer: Paul Manicle, Halimah DeLaine Prado

Season of Docs - Mentors
by Christian Walter 02 May '20

02 May '20

Hi, I just registered coreboot at the season of docs [1]. The idea is that technical writers can improve our documentation - therefore we are looking for people who are willing to mentor such technical writers. The registration for mentors can be found here [2] - be aware that the deadline is already on May 4h, so in two days! I already created a list of documentation ideas here [3]. The Timeline of season of docs can be found on the homepage. The mentoring phase would start in June/July and will go throughout the year until the end of year. Always two mentors need to work with one technical writer on a project. So don't feel shy - you are not alone :) Before you register yourself, please check out the mentoring guide here. It gives you an idea on what you need to do as a mentor.
