I got some answers below from the Framework Support.

> coreboot community?



The Framework Support said that they didn’t answer this question due to their 
privacy policy.



> * Do the 3 Framework Laptops which the Framework founder sent to the people 
> in the coreboot disable Intel BootGuard fully?



Yes or No. Framework didn’t enable the Intel BootGuard for the 3 Laptops. 
However, I am not sure that is equivalent to being fully disabled.

The Framework Support answered, "I can confirm that the three units provided 
didn't have Intel BootGuard enabled, however these were based on pre-production 
hardware designs.".



> * Documentations: Is the current  (not full) documentation without an

I am not sure. The Framework Support didn’t answer this question.



> Can individuals in the coreboot community access the full schematics and 
> board views with an agreement?



No. The Framework Support answered, "We did not provide full schematics, as 
these are only provided - under NDA - to repair partners.".



> I am also asking Matthew Garrett what is the current status of his porting

So far I have not received his reply by email, while he is active on his 
Twitter. As I don't have my Twitter account and I don't want to have it, it's 
great if someone asks him.



> As my next action, I will find a task driven bounty type OSS funding platform.



This action above is pending or canceled status.



## Other notable information from Framework Support



* "While aligned with our mission, coreboot is not something we are actively 
developing at this time." [1]

* "Sorry we do not have additional responses for you at this time. If and when 
we actively develop coreboot in the future, we will announce and discuss this 
on our community. " [1]

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]
