I finished the University and I have free time to do things. And this seems like an interesting project to which I dedicate many hours.
The truth is that I read a lot these days. The work you do kakaroto is impressive. In general Purism is doing something big, and I spoke ahead of time. I saw that in the directory coreboot/3rdparty/blobs/mainboard/purism/ there is no content, it is right?
