Issue #387 has been updated by Jun Aruga.
First, I will comment on how to collaborate with people in the coreboot community. Martin Roth, great points. Thanks for sharing it. I agree. In my recognition, it is about the responsibility of the company, Framework, and the fairness with other companies who develop coreboot. Responsibility: The coreboot community doesn't have a responsibility about the transaction and any features. Framework should have it. Fairness: PC manufacture and consulting companies invest a significant amount to get that work done. If Framework works with people in the coreboot project, in my opinion, the possible choices are that a. Framework will invest a significant amount to the coreboot as well as other companies in the coreboot project do. b. Framework will work with individuals not with the entire coreboot project. For fundraising, I think a task driven and bounty type OSS funding platform may fit for this porting task. That means that when developers finish the work done, the platform pays the bounty to the developers. I think the fairness is related to what Matt DeVillier said "That's on Framework, not the coreboot community.". I cannot use this ticket for everyone in the coreboot to see the progress and to see the task done. Because that means that the coreboot project discriminates between companies to work in/for the coreboot project. So, feel free to change the ticket's status to close if it is needed. However communicating here is really meaningful for me. It is great if I can continue the discussions, asking questions on this ticket. Second, I will comment about some things to clarify. I am asking Framework with the following questions below now. * Whom the Framework founder provided the 3 Framework Laptops to in the coreboot community? * Do the 3 Framework Laptops which the Framework founder sent to the people in the coreboot disable Intel BootGuard fully? * Documentations: Is the current (not full) documentation without an agreement good enough to port coreboot? Can individuals in the coreboot community access the full schematics and board views with an agreement? I am also asking Matthew Garrett what is the current status of his porting work by emailing him, introducing this ticket. As my next action, I will find a task driven bounty type OSS funding platform. Again, thanks for your comments! Let me know what you think. ---------------------------------------- Support #387: Support Framework Laptop https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/387#change-957 * Author: Jun Aruga * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Category: board support * Target version: none * Start date: 2022-06-05 * Affected hardware: Framework Laptop ---------------------------------------- Dear coreboot developers, I am a user of Framework Laptop[1][2]. Thank you for working to make coreboot work on Framework Laptop! This ticket is to track the task, as I didn't see any other issue tickets about Framework Laptop here. According to the Framework founder's comment[3] below, Framework provided Framework Laptops to the coreboot community. > We've handed three systems that can boot unsigned bootloaders to folks in the > coreboot community. Our plan in the near term is to help them create a shim > loader that can be signed to run on any Framework Laptop, which then enables > anyone to do further coreboot development. Then I saw Matthew's try to make the coreboot work on Framework Laptop,[4] but unfortunately it didn't work at that time.[5] How is the current status? What prevents coreboot from working on the Framework Laptop? How can we, people in the Framework community, help you? As a reference, there is a coreboot specific thread on the Framework community forum.[6] ## References * [1] https://frame.work/ * [2] Framework Computer - Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framework_Computer * [3] Framework Laptop Mainboard, Hacker News, April 20, 2022 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31097434 * [4] Matthew tries to port Coreboot to the Framework laptop - February 27, 2022 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf_6xW-8tfQ * [5] Matthew Garrett on Twitter, February 27, 2022 - https://twitter.com/mjg59/status/1497788538212917250 * [6] Free the EC! and Coreboot Only - https://community.frame.work/t/free-the-ec-and-coreboot-only/791 -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
