Tried to flash new #Libreboot binary with (proper) text-mode instead of corebootfb-mode.
And suddenly found that my #ch341 programmer is dead :dragnshock: It was in the antistatic pouch on the shelf for half of the year and now it can't read/write/erase my #SPI chip on the #Thinkpad X220. It even can't be detected by OS.
Are CH341 programmers really so unreliable that they are dying without any visible reasons? :dragnsad:

Intel is working on OPEN-SOURCING the FSP - would be huge win for Coreboot & security.
FSP (Firmware Support Package) is a firmware initialisation and management infrastructure to easily integrate into a boot loader of the developer’s choice.
Coreboot is an Open Source project to provide auditability and maximum control over tech.

Flashrom 1.0.
The Flashrom is associated with Coreboot project.
It is for reading/writing/erasing/verifying flash chips commonly for motherboard BIOS/UEFI/firmware chips and has reached its long-awaited v1.0 milestone.
Flash firmware images such as BIOS or coreboot, or backup an existing firmware.

#Chrultrabook people, I have a #Chromebook and a #Chromebox that run #MrChromebox' #coreboot and I would like to update the firmware.
Currently I use a live USB with #LinuxMint XFCE, as it is easy to use and insecure enough for it to work.
The tools need access to read and write the firmware, which is quite deep.
I would like to enable that support on my main #NixOS system, at least sometimes, but don't know what is missing. Same on vanilla #Fedora btw, doesnt work there either.
The iomem=relaxed option is not enough, do you know what else is needed?
For NixOS and Chromebook support I found this amazing repo, but it is quite complex:

Конец дешёвых ПК и мировой кризис. Придётся экономить
Подорожание комплектующих изменило рынок. Тут происходит много странных на первый взгляд явлений: выходят ноутбуки с процессорами от телефонов (!?), появляются материнки на старой платформе AM4 (потому что память DDR4 намного дешевле DDR5), появились даже дисплеи для ноутбуков с частотой 1 Гц (это инновация для энергосбережения). Но есть и плюсы. Купленные в прошлые годы ПК останутся актуальными дольше обычного. Старые ПК получат новую жизнь. Разработчикам игр и ПО придётся умерить аппетиты — и оптимизировать софт для текущего железа, а не в расчёте на апгрейд. Потому что апгрейда не будет. Разработчикам придётся отложить генераторы нейрослопа кода — и сосредоточиться на вдумчивой оптимизации софта. А пользователям — экономить и выкручиваться.

How do I get the motivation to fix this laptop mainboard?
The only thing wrong with it is the charge ports, but the problem is 44 of the 48 pads across the 2 type c ports are missing. (don't ask me how, I don't know either, its used since it was the only replacement board I could afford)
I've been putting it off for a few months now, I know what must be done, I just am too intimidated.
Any tips for reframing this problem so i stop putting it off would be appreciated

I repurposed a ChromeBox CN60 for #ubuntuserver and Pihole. Flashing the box with Coreboot was an experience.

Recently, I've been thinking quite a bit about Linux (and possibly NetBSD) on Chromebook and Chromebox hardware.
I've used a Chromebook with Linux as my daily driver laptop for quite a while a couple years ago. Switched back to a ThinkPad for a bit more CPU power and memory.
I see a lot of value in these Chromebooks that have been liberated with CoreBoot. I posted about it quite a bit a few years ago. May have to get back into it.
Things look like they have changed a bit. Before, a lot of the newer Chromebooks could not be liberated. Now, it looks like pretty much every Chrome device with an Intel processor can be. That's a big improvement.

Libreboot è un BIOS/UEFI libero, una distribuzione di coreboot che restituisce alle persone il controllo dei propri computer.
Con #Libreboot ottieni funzionalità di sicurezza che altrove sono rare o assenti, come la vera cifratura completa del disco, avvii più rapidi, maggiore possibilità di personalizzazione e rilasci stabili ogni 6 mesi e ogni acquisto di PC su https://minifree.org/ finanzia il progetto, lo sviluppo e l’indipendenza.

@torvalds the point is bass ackwards anyways. What we need is more #OpenFirmware as well as #OpenHardware.
It's about market precedent at the end of the day. It should be a consumer right to also receive the code for all the firmware used in the hardware purchased.
That's a separate problem entirely. It's a whole jungle of different licensing and distribution issues all together that shouldn't concern Linux.
This is why #CoreBoot is such a fantastic project and needs to be supported as well.

Oh no, #Intel platform detection isn't that easy.
There is no simple field like platform ID or something in #IFD to determine it.
Also, IFD fields have changed semantics a bit over time.So #coreboot's ifdtool has some "guessing" and a list of known platforms to apply quirks, with the platform to be passed via CLI, not detected.
I will try my best to use information from the ME #firmware to get a rough idea, e.g. presence of CPDs.
I think that's the way to go.*sigh*
