     @dennisgut !coreboot currently doesn't support !ARM SoCs. But the boot firmware on these boards is usually DAS U-Boot, which is !FS already.

     @pehjota Nice, i didn't know. That would be awesome, with a free !BIOS.

     @dennisgut "With the exception of the driver for the GPU, all software is open source". Back to the planning board, everyone!

     @micu 100% #FOSS - well not really, BIOS == AMI. If you want 100%, go for #arm currently, I guess. ;)

   • micuintus Thorsten Behrens

     @thb well, I'd prefer ARM anyways bec. of the better energy consumption (+fighting monoculture), but they're not as fast as x86, I fear :(

   • Uwe Hermann coreboot , Firmware , BIOS , Thorsten Behrens

     @thb While #ARM is nice, #x86 also has potential using !coreboot, a free software !BIOS / !firmware. Increasingly more boards are supported.

   So !identica doesn't recognize groups in dents if the exclamation mark follows an opening brace. NOT OK: (!bios). OK: ( !bios). Spaces FTW!

      @bkuhn I mean just flashing it. as a laptop user, #coreboot is a forgone conclusion :-(

      @sobotka the act of flashing

      @bkuhn Flashing a !BIOS with !freesoftware on !linux is is possible with !flashrom. Many supported boards. Laptops are difficult, though.
