Re: [Trisquel-users] Coreboot Ported To The Librem 13 Laptop, Without Purism

[duncan]

Libreboot removes it all, using painful reverse-engineering. Although some  
firmware does remain in the embedded controller (which controls various bits  
of hardware), it is considered 'trivial' because it is low-level; it can't be  
updated easily so is considered 'hardware'. However someone is working on a  
free replacement. Libreboot is removes the really concerning Intel firmware,  
essentially.
