This update represents three months of hard work and commitment from our +community. With over 20 new members and contributions from more than a hundred +fifty other people in coding, reviewing patches, and other areas, this release +showcases the strength of our collaborative efforts. +With this release, coreboot has expanded its support, adding 25 new platforms or +variants and 2 new processors, further demonstrating our dedication to offering +flexible and adaptable firmware solutions. From laptops and servers to embedded +devices, coreboot 24.05 is designed to enhance a variety of hardware platforms +with its strong features. -Update this document with changes that should be in the release notes. +We are grateful to all the contributors who have made this release possible. +Your expertise and collaborative efforts continue to propel the coreboot project +forward. We value the participation of everyone in the community, from long-time +developers to those new to the project, and encourage you to explore the new +opportunities that coreboot 24.05 offers. -* Please use Markdown. -* See the past few release notes for the general format. -* The chip and board additions and removals will be updated right - before the release, so those do not need to be added. -* Note that all changes before the release are done are marked upcoming. - A final version of the notes are done after the release. +Our next release will be 24.08, scheduled for mid-August. Significant or interesting changes ---------------------------------- -* Add changes that need a full description here +### Mark 64-bit support as stable -* This section should have full descriptions and can or should have - a link to the referenced commits. +A significant amount of work has gone into fully supporting 64-bit coreboot +builds. There are still additional pieces that are happening, but with SMM +holding page tables itself, we can consider SMM support stable and safe enough +for general use. + + +### security/tpm: support compiling in multiple TPM drivers + +Previously, boards could only be built with code supporting TPM 1.x or TPM 2.x +specifications. This has been updated with code allowing both to be built in +simultaneously, allowing the system to query the TPM. For systems with +soldered-down TPMs or firmware TPM solutions, it’s still possible to specify a +single TPM version so that the code for the other version isn’t included. + + +### arch/arm64: Add EL1/EL2/EL3 support for arm64 + +Previously, arch/arm64 required coreboot to run on EL3 due to EL3 register +access. This might be an issue when, for example, one boots into TF-A first and +drops into EL2 for coreboot afterwards. + +This patch aims at making arch/arm64 more versatile by removing the current EL3 +constraint and allowing arm64 coreboot to run on EL1, EL2 and EL3. + +The strategy is to add a Kconfig option (ARM64_CURRENT_EL) which allows us to +specify coreboot's EL upon entry. Based on that, we access the appropriate ELx +registers. So, for example, when running coreboot on EL1, we would not access +vbar_el3 or vbar_el2 but instead vbar_el1. This way, we don't generate faults +when accessing higher-EL registers. Additional coreboot changes --------------------------- -The following are changes across a number of patches, or changes worth -noting, but not needing a full description. - -* Changes that only need a line or two of description go here. +* util/smmstoretool: support processing ROMs +* cpu/x86: Link page tables in stage if possible +* lib/lzmadecode: Allow for 8 byte reads on 64bit to speed up decompression +* mb/lenovo/*: Set VR12 PSI to fix crash +* Numerous fixes for clang support +* Ongoing code cleanup +* Docs: Replace Recommonmark with MyST Parser.
