Hi everybody, I heard about a project interested int creating coreboot compatible open hardware. While that effort isn't ready to make any announcement, questions came up about where to host such a project.
There's lots of open hardware out there already, but it's often based on not-quite open base boards so there seems to be a hole in the ecosystem approximately the shape of open hardware designs that could serve as base for hardware of all sizes (SBC alikes to put "shields" on, laptop/desktop designs that can be customized, maybe even servers, ...) That's where coreboot.org might come in: When I brought up the question in today's leadership meeting, people were generally interested in having coreboot.org host projects like that. The idea isn't to create "coreboot branded" hardware, because that makes as much sense as "UEFI branded" hardware (that is, none), but to provide a place where people can cooperate on and publish open hardware designs that are complex enough to require coreboot-style firmware. Thoughts?
