yeah, david and nico both make very good points. I like the idea of JSON
file, and further we're working on a Go program
on the u-root project that would parse said file (trivial in Go to parse
JSON, it's one statement and blam! your Go struct is all
filled in) and then decide what to configure/wh

I don't know about you, but once I have a minimal working kernel or a
coreboot fallback, I never really update them. So having no way to recover
them without hardware intervention is fine. The kernel I may recompile,
patch, etc would be somewhere else.
The job of this minimal kernel and initrd wou
Hello
I am still interested in lowering the power consumption. To try to find the
culprit, I am thinking about monitoring temperature sensors.
On the W520 specs, I see on p 70 ("Thermal sensor"):
S0: PCH/BASE COVER
S1: NVIDIA
S2: GBE
S3: WWAN
S4: DIMM(TOP)
S5: DIMM(BOTTOM)
S6: WLAN
S7: EXPRESS SL

The problem is if a bad kernel or initrd is flashed then there is no
way to recover without hardware intervention. Having a
If I had more flash, I would like that too, just for kicks.
With the amount of flash we have, sharing the kernel and initrd doesn't
seem like a bad idea.
If the cmdline for the normal mode can be modified easily by updating the
cbfs with flashrom, I don't see any drawback to using kexec from the

Seems reasonable, but on Harvey recently we went with c11. Any reason not
to do that instead?

Dear coreboot folks,
Using GCC 4.9.2 coreboot fails to build for certain boards, whose code
uses ‘for’ loop initial declarations.
