I just joined the open compute project as an individual member. Anybody have some idea on what type of their nodes and which vendor are good to look at for coreboot?
I realize OCP is not a coreboot user (I had that discussion with them about 5 years ago and they went with conventional wisdom, sadly, although I expect one of the CPU providers was unfriendly about coreboot) but I'm curious as to what it would take to make it work.
thanks

Anything x86 is going to be somewhat unfriendly due to the heavy push for Secure Boot and the ensuing TiVo-ization / general platform lockdown. Intel uses the Management Engine for this purpose, while AMD uses the Platform Security Processor.
We have been in talks with IBM regarding OpenPOWER and to be honest that's probably the direction to be looking at this point. The entire chip is open with the exception of the Self Boot Engine, and IBM's engineers are very open to the idea of custom firmware development.
Just my $0.02. :-)
