Can we find out who the framework laptops were supplied to? It's great that these individuals have agreed to work on the port, but the coreboot community as a whole hasn't signed up to support the framework laptop.
Sure. Let me ask it to the Framework on the Framework community forum. I will let you know here.
There are a number of professional consulting groups that do coreboot ports. If framework is actually interested in getting a port done, might I suggest that these might be a better way to go about getting a port done? https://www.coreboot.org/consulting.html
Thank you for the info. I would like to communicate with the coreboot community or the consulting groups openly as much as possible here or somewhere, even when I may need to email someone as a close communication temporarily. Because in this case, though Framework is possibly interested in the port, I know Framework community is really interested in it. People in the community should be able to know the progress and involve the task.
I am not sure what prevents coreboot's port to the Framework Laptop. But if a funding to the coreboot solves, I mean if some coreboot developers can get the port done by working intensively for example for 1 month by a funding, I am happy to gather the money from people who want to see the port done by using an OSS funding platform[1] that fits coreboot. For example, you might know "Tidelift" and "GitHub Sponsors".
What do you think? Anyway, first I want to know what prevents coreboot's port to the Framework Laptop.

* 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]
