Sorry, this was badly articulated. The "thanks" was meant sincere. I had this on my TODO list for some time. I think we should (if not already done) extend ifdtool to toggle whatever bit is needed to run without ME firmware. And let people use that instead of building a new blob which only extends the list of entities you have to trust. Nico PS. Actually I think coreboot shouldn't handle these platform blobs at all. But that's even harder to convince people of ;) -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org https://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
