coreboot for Protectli FW2B and FW4B

(1/2) > >>

pietrushnic:
Hi all,
as I previously mentioned in other threads, we are glad to announce that 3mdeb continue its mission to promote Open Source Firmware for network appliance hardware. We partner Protectli to enable Open Source Firmware based on coreboot. We start with FW2B and FW4B Intel Braswell platforms.

Quality of OPNsense support in that firmware is our top priority, so if anyone has the capability (skills, SPI flash programmer or RTE) to support the testing effort we would be glad to cooperate.

In the following weeks we should publish all patches, submit them to coreboot community for review and provide documentation so anyone who wants can flash his/her hardware.

If you want to get more information feel free to follow us on social media.

Thanks for the update pietrushnic, knowing you're company is supporting the firmware for those appliances will definitely be a game changer when considering or recommending new hardware.
