No problem, and thanks for the data point. I just wanted to chime in so that others are aware that on certain CPUs there are hidden risks to not using update microcode; when making the decision to avoid microcode the errata documentation for the specific processor in use needs to be carefully analyzed for the intended use case to avoid an even less secure setup than just using fully proprietary firmware. - -- Timothy Pearson Raptor Engineering +1 (415) 727-8645 (direct line) +1 (512) 690-0200 (switchboard) https://www.raptorengineering.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJYc8+pAAoJEK+E3vEXDOFbG+IIAJwl731kz6cQUO4kGjqMEmjB Yn41BwG9jczx5EuvsgUNF5ngtQxd47c6TYDSHsYNARsaxRiiQfJVEd7SE3VHktEf ROMAPQzPcMvSNzPcEqkE8wqiOeSETtsOZ7nCfReINkd86ECgg4TNoj/2afXCe1y7 C0EMnm11HNauwvIOyjzCHpHDF78HT26CMx/nc5rGRwgKfrZIriIdLSuJKN81b7Uq z7RRvkhlbbj0pyKY2JRh233ACOg7Cd6hWyW0M+7j4dVT13NWG0NI6lPOr8pFbttU /21S9qodiMlJD7fBm8/zCPMbR0SsbnufzNBAc53gcjBOYLiSC2IFc7nz2hJLg8s= =UO0Y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] https://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
