People in the community should be able to know the progress and involve the task.
That's on Framework, not the coreboot commmunity.
Anyway, first I want to know what prevents coreboot's port to the Framework Laptop.
Intel BootGuard is active/enabled on the Framework laptop. That means that the system firmware (vendor UEFI, coreboot, etc) must be cryptographically signed with the same key fused into the PCH. Framework controls this key, and has proposed creating both a signed "official" coreboot image as well as signed shim which would allow user-built coreboot firmware to be used.
Where they are on that process is unknown, because there has been no official overture from Framework to the coreboot community. They supposedly sent out 3 dev units (which do not have Bootguard enabled) to individual developers. Matthew Garrett (mjg59) posted about his unsuccessful efforts a few months ago on Twitter but there has been nothing recent to my knowledge. Who else has dev boards is unknown.
---------------------------------------- Support #387: Support Framework Laptop https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/387#change-950
* Author: Jun Aruga * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Category: board support * Target version: none * Start date: 2022-06-05 * Affected hardware: Framework Laptop ---------------------------------------- Dear coreboot developers,
I am a user of Framework Laptop[1][2]. Thank you for working to make coreboot work on Framework Laptop! This ticket is to track the task, as I didn't see any other issue tickets about Framework Laptop here. According to the Framework founder's comment[3] below, Framework provided Framework Laptops to the coreboot community.
We've handed three systems that can boot unsigned bootloaders to folks in the coreboot community. Our plan in the near term is to help them create a shim loader that can be signed to run on any Framework Laptop, which then enables anyone to do further coreboot development.
Then I saw Matthew's try to make the coreboot work on Framework Laptop,[4] but unfortunately it didn't work at that time.[5]
How is the current status? What prevents coreboot from working on the Framework Laptop? How can we, people in the Framework community, help you? As a reference, there is a coreboot specific thread on the Framework community forum.[6]
