I do want to thank Kyösti for putting in the development effort in this area for these platforms. He's been actively maintaining and developing for a lot of platforms that have lost some love over the years. I know there are others who contribute as well, but I did want to call attention Kyösti's contribution as I've been following it fairly closely. It's very much appreciated. > > HTH, > Kyösti > > -- > coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org > https://mail.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org https://mail.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
