Hi all
I found a paper Intel x86 considered harmful Joanna Rutkowska
She's screaming, and screaming, louder and louder, yet sadly very few people are actually paying attention.
There isn't much we can do from a firmware point of view when the hardware nowadays hides things from us. It's sad, but it's the reality. And it's not just x86 that's doing this; it seems to be an industry-wide trend.
Some people are hoping that RISC-V and OpenPOWER will not fall into the same trend, but it's all just hopes at this point.

describing things that are belived are security shorcommings of x86 architecture. Many of them are bios / mb and boot process related.
I am just awandering how coreboot as a "opensource bios" deal with this...
Any information ? I would glad to hear Yours opinion . Thanx
