coreboot changelog – Week of 2015-07-13

There’s also a “summer of code” for coreboot, with multiple projects, that’ve been happening for weeks now. I’ve not covered those yet, I was going to wait for the end-of-Summer, but if you haven’t looked at the projects, they’re in older entries in the coreboot blog.
