Also, there may be users interested in the "whole" UEFI experience, with secure boot validating binaries loaded from a https server via their infiniband controllers and IPoIB implemented by on-PCIe firmware delivered as EBC bytecode. I don't see yabits providing support for that. Patrick Am Do.,

Why does it have to be done by Seabios as opposed to Linux? It is easy to create a USB stick which would boot Linux compiled with permissions needed and with startup files which will program the new firmware image. This would be much easier to debug and modify when needed, right? -vb On Thu, Feb

Hi, I was helping a friend with a bios issue (we may have an involuntary coreboot convert on our hands ;) ) and realized that a lot of BIOSs provide a way for the BIOS to flash itself but Coreboot doesn't. For Coreboot afaik the only two methods available are to flash with a programmer or to flas

Hi Nekoboi, the Intel-based X220 and AMD-based F2a85m are very different, so I suspect your freezing problem to be directly related to Debian. Switch your distro to something better, Debian really went downhill in the recent years. Maybe something like Void Linux or Artix? Or just MX Linux if you w
