2023-05-11Documentation/tutorial: Improve clarity of Part 1Nicholas Chin
Based on feedback and experiences from new coreboot users, it isn't clear that Tutorial 1 is mainly intended to set up the toolchain and will not produce a bootable ROM for their board. Thus, add a note explicitly mentioning this with a short explanation. The process of manually building and adding the payload is also unusual, since payloads are usually handled automatically by the build system. This adds a note in the summary to provide an explanation of this. The savedefconfig output is also outdated, as Kconfig now outputs additional lines (even though many of those are the same as the defaults). This has caused confusion, leading users to think that they may have configured coreboot incorrectly. Update this to the current defconfig contents and add a note that this may change depending on the coreboot version.

2022-10-10Documentation/flashing_firmware: Add info about SPI flash headerNicholas Chin
Some mainboards have a header connected to the SPI bus, which can be used to connect a second flash chip and override the onboard flash. This allows one to boot coreboot on the system without ever having to flash the onboard flash. HP boards with this header all seem to use the same 2x8 or 2x10 header layout, so document the pinout.

2021-09-01tests: Improve test output readabilityJakub Czapiga
When running multiple tests, e.g. by using unit-tests target, it is hard to differentiate, which output comes from which file and/or configuration. This patch makes the output easier to analyze and understand by using new wrapper macro cb_run_group_tests(). This macro uses __TEST_NAME__ value (containing test path and Makefile test name) as a group name when calling cmocka group runner. Example: Test path: tests/lib/ Makefile test name: cbmem_stage_cache-test Test group array name: tests Result: tests/lib/cbmem_stage_cache-test(tests) Signed-off-by: Jakub Czapiga <jacz@semihalf.com> Change-Id: I4fd936d00d77cbe2637b857ba03b4a208428ea0d Reviewed-on: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/57144 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) <no-reply@coreboot.org> Reviewed-by: Paul Fagerburg <pfagerburg@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Julius Werner <jwerner@chromium.org>
2021-06-10tests: Rework mocking facilityPatrick Georgi
Using the linker's --wrap feature has the downside that it only covers references across object files: If foo.c defines a() and b(), with b calling a, --wrap=a does nothing to that call. Instead, use objcopy to mark a weak and global so it can be overridden by another implementation, but only for files originating in src/. That way mocks - implemented in tests/ - become the source of truth. TEST=Had such an issue with get_log_level() in a follow-up commit, and the mock now takes over. Also, all existing unit tests still pass.

We typically call checkpatch.pl through make lint which properly adds the option to tell checkpatch that our lines may be 96 columns long. However there's one mention of calling checkpatch directly and that confuses people with complaints about overly long lines that exceed 80 columns. The lint test that runs checkpatch (and with the right options) can also be used on a per-directory basis, so offer that instead.

Disabling SSL verification is far from optimal, but depending on the circumstances may be the most practical way, so describe how to do that instead of leaving users confused. It's also not _that_ bad because git's hashing scheme should uncover most attempts to tamper with code, either when checking signed tags or when people push (and see lots of modified commits).
