When building products to last, it’s not enough to design the hardware to be repairable, upgradeable, and customizable. The overall longevity of devices as complex as modern notebooks also depends on how long the software and firmware continues to be useful.
Is coreboot for framework actually being worked on in earnest? My googling only turned up that one guy was doing some basic work on it but only as a concept.
The Chromebook editions use coreboot already, it shouldn’t actually be too hard to get it to work on all editions (for Framework). I guess they just have other plans currently.
Can’t do it at will when it contains third party proprietary code. They have to reimplement what Insyde wrote for them first.
But otherwise yes.
coreboot cant come soon enough
