2021-10-20 Thread Nico Huber
Hi coreboot community, a recent yet-another-blob occurrence reminded me that I wanted to write about the matter for a long time. Every few months, it seems (if not, more often), a new blob is introduced to coreboot. Alas, this is often hidden to the last minute, creating unnecessary friction and

Hi Everyone, We have couple of queries regarding the current support and future direction of arm64 port of coreboot: 1. Does the current coreboot/arm64 execute post BL31 stage (assuming a separate BL2 stage loads BL31 and coreboot) ? * If no, would coreboot community be willing to
