Hi- Apparently Matthew (mjg59@srcf.ucam.org) made some modifications to allow booting OS X without Clover. I'm not sure if his changes are current or if they're specific to the X210 which they were made on / for, but I had the same question and that was the answer I got at the time. Never tried it though, I'd suggest you ask him for the details, as I don't have any specifics.
Cheers, R

To answer the original question, I think not. Not on its own. macOS needs Clover. Clover needs UEFI. UEFI means Tianocore for payload. So coreboot+Tianocore+Clover, where Clover would be handled like any other bootloader eg. grub. I'm not sure if there porting Clover as a coreboot payload is necessary, practical, or even possible. At the very least it is a lot of work.
Regards Keith
coreboot doesn't boot the OS, it performs hardware initialization and
passes control to a payload (SeaBIOS, GRUB, Tianocore, etc. - these are payloads). So you would have to use something like clover anyway.

Hi, I wanted to ask if coreboot is capable of booting macOS. There are
bootloaders like clover and opencore that does the job but does coreboot do this thing with more efficiency? _______________________________________________ coreboot mailing list -- coreboot@coreboot.org To unsubscribe send an email to coreboot-leave@coreboot.org
