Re: [coreboot] How is depreciating 95% of coreboot boards worth it for such minor improvements?

Hello everyone, A year ago I ported coreboot to the motherboard (MSI MS7721) that I use in my main PC. In my opinion removing support for boards that are actively used by people in this community would be a setback for the project as a whole. While I currently don't have the time and knowledge

Ah I see thanks for explaining. I had read all the AGESA boards were going to be removed, besides the asus D8/D16 those are the last and best owner controlled x86 boards. Is there a current list of boards to be removed? -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org

Re: [coreboot] How is depreciating 95% of coreboot boards worth it for such minor improvements?

I am always sad to see boards go away, especially since it means that the amount of coreboot I still have code in is smaller by the month, but ... there's a real opportunity cost to keeping old boards in. We've had cases where a new, useful feature has to be implemented as a config variable since

Re: [coreboot] How is depreciating 95% of coreboot boards worth it for such minor improvements?

Is there an index of which was the latest git commit for each removed board ? That would help anyone interested in working on them in the future. It is not strictly necessary, but would certainly make life easier. And it can't be that hard to update a wiki page (or something equivalent) any time

[coreboot] How is depreciating 95% of coreboot boards worth it for such minor improvements?

Just because a board lacks active developers doesn't mean that no one is using it. As a layman I simply can't understand as to how all these seemingly insignificant improvements such as CBMEM in ramstage make it worth removing almost every compatible board from the source, including nearly all
