[1] It's a AMD family 16h board that looks like it calls into binaryPI based AGESA a number of times, judging by the boot logs on the wiki. [2]
I plan on using this board myself for a small NAS system. -Matt [1] https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ASUS-AM1I-A-Coreboot https://source.puri.sm/coreboot/coreboot/commit/3dce9f09d9e26b147153ad0cda493ecb4b6d15d8 https://github.com/coreboot/coreboot/commits/master/src/mainboard/asus/am1i-a [2] https://www.coreboot.org/Board:asus/am1i-a On Fri, Sep 20, 2019 at 4:00 AM Kyösti Mälkki <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Sep 19, 2019 at 11:12 AM Nico Huber <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > On 12.09.19 18:42, Patrick Georgi wrote: > > > On Thu, Sep 12, 2019 at 07:20:49PM +0300, Kyösti Mälkki wrote: > > >> Would "some people" or these "advocates" be willing to elaborate? > > > I CC'd Nico and Martin because I seem to remember that we talked > > > about AGESA (and its quality and/or life cycle).
