Thanks Matt. You're the man. COreboot 4.11 is out just a few days and we can already enjoy on our freed chromebooks. Awesome.

Hot off the heels of the previous hotfix is a fresh release based on the newly-tagged coreboot 4.11. In addition to being rebased on the latest version of coreboot, this release features a host of improvements and fixes:
- fixed issue with NVRAM being corrupted by Windows
- new/improved UEFI Boot Options/Settings screens
- improved header layout
- simplified menu options
- more descriptive naming for SATA, NVMe, and USB drives in boot menu
- easier to make changes to and save bootorder entries
- open-source coreboot native graphics init (libgfxinit) now used for
Haswell, Broadwell, and Skylake devices instead of closed-source GOP driver
- better scaling of boot splash/menus for HiDPI displays
This MrChromebox release offers coreboot/Tianocore images for close to 70 Chromebooks/Chromeboxes as well as all Purism Librem laptops, all easily flashed using my ChromeOS Firmware Utility Script [1]; a full list of supported devices can be found on my site [2].
All other devices supported by the coreboot 4.11 release can easily take advantage of the improvements in my tree by cloning my coreboot repo and building as usual.
All changes on the Tianocore side have already been merged and are available to anyone using the default coreboot repo.
As usual, the full list of changes can be found on my github repos: https://github.com/MrChromebox/coreboot/commits/2019.11.28 https://github.com/MrChromebox/edk2/commits/2019.11.28 https://github.com/MrChromebox/chrome-ec/branches/all
cheers, Matt
