coreboot changelog Jan 20 – Jan 26

This changelog covers 111 commits in the week between January 20, 2016 and January 26, 2016. (aad9b6a – 7ee6cd5)

There was another large set of patches continuing the work that has been done extending cbfs and integrating FMAP.  This series is expected to be finished in just a few more patches.

This past week saw the addition of two new mainboards – the Google Tidus board (Lenovo ThinkCentre Chromebox), and the Purism Librem 13 laptop.  Updates to the Google Oak board and its associated SoC, the Mediatek MT8173 Cortex A72, accounted for roughly 20% of this week’s changes.

The AMD native memory initialization for the family10h/family15h chips had more changes, with still more coming next week.  On the Intel side, the Pineview northbridge saw a couple of updates, and there were several fixes for for Intel’s Braswell and Skylake chips.

coreboot also had some more toolchain updates this week, adding an ada compiler for some upcoming work, and getting the gcc build set up for the Power8 work.  There were also a couple of fixes for building tools under NetBSD

In the coming week, we should get the 4.3 release finished, and see a slew of changes as the patches that are currently in review get merged.
