Posted this in #coreboot IRC just now
Retroboot is a new build system forked from Libreboot build system. It provides an automated build system around coreboot, GRUB, SeaBIOS, and all the other components needed, and provides ROMs for users. it provides documentation aimed at non-technical users, and user support.
Unlike Libreboot, it allows blobs and includes the 3rdparty repo. It is a very competent build system and can have *any* coreboot system added to it.
Boards specify a revision aswell, so it's possible to specify older coreboot revisions if you want to add a board that was removed from coreboot.
06:12 <unoccupied> https://retroboot.org/ launched yesterday 06:13 <unoccupied> it's a new coreboot distribution. it tries to use the latest version of coreboot at all times, and provides an automated build system around coreboot that integrates many other things such as payloads 06:13 <unoccupied> the aim is to provide pre-built ROMs, utilities and user-friendly documentation, with user-friendly support, but developer documentation is also provided which explains the entire build system 06:13 <unoccupied> there are no releases yet, just the website and the git repo, but build instructions are provided. 06:14 <unoccupied> it is a fork of the libreboot 20160907 build system, with many improvements. i've worked on it non-stop for 2 weeks. 06:14 <unoccupied> it's based on libreboot build system, but allows blobs from coreboot and includes the 3rdparty repo. 06:14 <unoccupied> it can support any board from coreboot, and i welcome any and all coreboot users who wish to give it a try! 06:15 <unoccupied> This is build instructions: https://retroboot.org/docs/git/ 06:15 <unoccupied> This is maintenance instructions (shows how to add new boards and maintain them): https://retroboot.org/docs/maintain/ 06:15 <unoccupied> adding boards is basicall: add a config, specify what payload you want, add whatever customer patches you want. then build! 06:16 <unoccupied> IRC is #retroboot if you wish to discuss development. though no actual coreboot development is allowed; coreboot dev must be done in coreboot, with your coreboot work mergede downstream in retroboot 06:16 <unoccupied> enjoy! 06:16 <unoccupied> just thought i'd post this here
