Already being worked on, refer to https://review.coreboot.org/q/topic:haswell-nri ---------------------------------------- Feature #461: Replacing Haswell mrc.bin blob with free software https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/461#change-1424 * Author: akjuxr3 akjuxr3 * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Target version: none * Start date: 2023-02-16 * Related links: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/52659 ---------------------------------------- Currently in case of the ability to run as less amount of closed source software as possible and still have Microcode updates the reduced Intel ME with disabled bit in IFD and the lga1155 or the mobile versions of those cpus are the only option for x86_64 out there.
