security/vboot: Deprecate VBOOT_VBNV_EC

Boards using VBOOT_VBNV_EC (nyan, daisy, veyron, peach_pit) are all
ChromeOS devices and they've reached the end of life since Feb 2022.
Therefore, remove VBOOT_VBNV_EC for them, each with different
replacement.

- nyan (nyan, nyan_big, nyan_blaze): Add RW_NVRAM to their FMAP (by
  reducing the size of RW_VPD), and replace VBOOT_VBNV_EC with
  VBOOT_VBNV_FLASH.
- veyron: Add RW_NVRAM to their FMAP (by reducing the size of
  SHARED_DATA), and replace VBOOT_VBNV_EC with VBOOT_VBNV_FLASH. Also
  enlarge the OVERLAP_VERSTAGE_ROMSTAGE section for rk3288 (by reducing
  the size of PRERAM_CBMEM_CONSOLE), so that verstage won't exceed its
  allotted size.
- daisy: Because BOOT_DEVICE_SPI_FLASH is not set, which is required for
  VBOOT_VBNV_FLASH, disable MAINBOARD_HAS_CHROMEOS and VBOOT configs.
- peach_pit: As VBOOT is not set, simply remove the unused VBOOT_VBNV_EC
  option.

Remove the VBOOT_VBNV_EC Kconfig option as well as related code, leaving
VBOOT_VBNV_FLASH and VBOOT_VBNV_CMOS as the only two backend options for
vboot nvdata (VBNV).

Also add a check in read_vbnv() and save_vbnv() for VBNV options.

coreboot README

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload.

With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required.

coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.

Payloads

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.

See https://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.

Supported Hardware

coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

For details please consult:

Build Requirements

  • make
  • gcc / g++ Because Linux distribution compilers tend to use lots of patches. coreboot does lots of "unusual" things in its build system, some of which break due to those patches, sometimes by gcc aborting, sometimes - and that's worse - by generating broken object code. Two options: use our toolchain (eg. make crosstools-i386) or enable the ANY_TOOLCHAIN Kconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case).
  • iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
  • pkg-config
  • libssl-dev (openssl)

Optional:

  • gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
  • ncurses (for make menuconfig and make nconfig)
  • flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)

Building coreboot

Please consult https://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.

Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware

If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU.

Please see https://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.

Website and Mailing List

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:
