Patrick Georgi posted an update to the coreboot blog with changes. coreboot has recently started doing more regular status updates via it’s blog. It is nice to have a regular update to coreboot, I wish UEFI and U-Boot had such a fresh news source.
A few excerpts of the changes are listed below, see full blog post for entire report:
The leading themes were the removal of support for old mainboards, and the integration of more non-AGESA AMD support code for Family 10h to 15h that spans everything from fixes to memory configuration to workarounds to problems in the SATA controller, to new feature development, enabling CC6 power-state support and everything in-between.”
Other chipset level contributions provided bug fixes to the drivers supporting Intel’s Skylake and AMD’s newer chipsets and mainboards (Kabini, Merlin Falcon, Mullins).
Also new is the Intel i8900 southbridge support that can be used with Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge, with an Intel reference board, the stargo2, and the SUNW Ultra40m2 board support.
Automated testing now also covers intelvbttool.
