While this shouldn't be anything special, it needs a workaround because of AMD's new ROM Armor mechanism that they push forward 😠 With ROM Armor enforced, we can forge…
There's one nice thing in the #BIOS settings, though. Apparently there is some #UART debug port over USB-C. Yes, please! 🎉 The link to the documentation, though, was disappointing. Atm. it just says "Coming Soon". And there is also nothing…
First prank this #UEFI played on me was to tell me that it couldn't find anything to boot. I knew the SSD I put into it booted fine on an AM5 board, hopefully not kaputt? Tried USB, same thing :blobfoxannoyed: Turned out the UEFI was lying…
So, I've got hands on a @frameworkcomputer Desktop, and ofc. I don't agree much with its proprietary #UEFI #firmware 😉
While waiting for them to answer if I can do anything about it (or if the device is too locked down), I'm looking into …
Here's a post about #UEFI-capsule updates in #coreboot, my concerns with those and how the original implementation could be exploited.

I'm a fan of the original coreboot design and ho…
I've started to blog about my FOSS experiences.
First post covers a rather unpleasant topic about community conflicts. The next one will be more technical, though, I promise 😉

About
Hacking on FOSS and small hardware projects since the early 2000's.
icon started firmware development with #OpenWRT and works professionally on #coreboot since 2012. He maintains libgfxinit to provide open-source display init in coreboot. For a while, he also maintained the open-source flash programming tool #flashrom (2018~2020). Later became a dark prophet of the project, seeing and trying to tackle problems before others could see them. Hence, eventually forked and maintains @flashprog now.
