Coreboot 4.10
- jwgarber 7y ago> As usual, there was a lot of cleaning up going on, and there notably, a good chunk of this year’s Google Summer of Code project to clean out the issues reported by Coverity Scan is already in. Hey that's me! :)
- IntelMiner 7y agoCoreboot is a great project, it's unfortunate that more devices don't use it. OEM machines from the big names like Dell or Lenovo can't/won't support it due to Boot Guard as far as I'm aware Some of the smaller niche venders like GPD or 51nb who make much more exotic gear though would be great to see support for Alternatively I'd love to see the range of "old" motherboards supported. A retro machine with Coreboot would definitely open up a lot of interesting possibilities compared to clunky, buggy old OEM BIOS's of the era

- neilv 7y agoI went to considerable trouble to evaluate and obtain a small stockpile of some well-supported Coreboot-friendly hardware, while it was still easily available on the used market. (For example, in the past, old ThinkPad models tended to dry up, as the used pipeline emptied of corporate fleet e-cyclers.) I'm thrilled to see more new and old boards possibly being well-supported by Coreboot, though I'm not assuming that's going to be a thing. https://www.neilvandyke.org/coreboot/ https://www.neilvandyke.org/coreboot/
