Re: [coreboot] [URGENT] Full List of AMD-based boards that are going to be removed from coreboot unless people cough up a board status update

Release notes for 4.7 are published in the download section of coreboot, alongside the releases [1]. If you mean a blog post, I agree, I didn't do one of those for 4.7. As far as the panic about boards getting removed, while it would be good to remove UNUSED boards from the current master

Sadly these apu2//3//4//5 require a closed source AMD PSP binary to run: less freedom for user, also - a possible remote control hardware backdoor there, like Intel ME ! Thats why I prefer K8/10h/14h/15h/16h - all the AMD architectures that are not PI / PSP. Even if the manufacturer has declared

This is a *personal* opinion, not supported by anyone else I suppose, but: I don't think it's unreasonable to ask that people send in board status 2 times a year. That's it. It makes it easier for potential users, and for people maintaining the tree. Sound ok? ron -- coreboot mailing list:

There are a lot of nice AMD-based coreboot-supported boards which have an outdated board_status and are at risk of removal. The majority of these boards (with the exception of PC engines apu2//3//4//5) - do not require a closed source AMD PSP binary to run, and ( also compared to many Intel boards
