I was under the impression that no AMD processor is supported by coreboot. Why would this no name vendor be the first to get that working?

- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoNot no AMD processor; Chromebooks use AMD+coreboot (https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=AMD-Coreboot-In-Early-2020 https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=AMD-Core...). Beyond that, I couldn't say; it may be as simple as "nobody else cared".
- CameronNemo 5y agoOh that is quite interesting. I did not even know that there were AMD Chromebooks. I don't know who at google is forcing hardware vendors to publish sources, but they are really awesome. Several arm vendors seem to only publish sources for their Chromebook SoCs (e.g. Rockchip, mediatek).
