Once upon a time when John worked for SAGE Electronics. I remember
this time, about 3 and more years ago. ;-)
I never worked for Sage.

SAGE was the first company (FSP echo system partner) to accept and
adopt INTEL FSP (midst of 2013, IVB was the first child). Since then,
lot of things have changed. Lot of... SAGE is not anymore in this
business, and, and... .. . (you all fill in the dots). :-)

Emi,

I think this is what you're looking
for: https://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
<https://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards>
It contains the commit hash, build config, and a few other logs
for each device/commit.  It is user submitted though, since there
doesn't exist a test setup for every supported device.

Right now, I'm the main builder/distributor of upstream coreboot
firmware for ChromeOS devices; I support all Haswell, Broadwell,
and some Baytrail devices, the former with both UEFI and Legacy
Boot variants. When time permits, I'll expand that to cover the
rest of the Baytrail devices, then move on to adding support for
Skylake.  No plans for Braswell support unless I acquire a device
on which to test.

John Lewis has some upstream firmware for the older
SandyBridge/IvyBridge models, but his Haswell firmware is build
from Google's tree/branches not upstream.  He also has no plans
for any future upstream firmware.

cheers,
Matt

    Hello,

    Now that Coreboot has reproducible builds, could you provide a
    list of build hashes for Chromebooks that are or will soon
    reach End of Life?

    I see
    on https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/6220366?hl=en
    <https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/6220366?hl=en> that
    2 Chromebooks will reach End of Life in 2016 and 3 more in
    2017 then 7 in 2018. I assume the number will increase each year.

    I know that Coreboot does not distribute builds, but the
    little Custom roms section
    on https://www.coreboot.org/users.html
    <https://www.coreboot.org/users.html> seems insufficient.

    It's easy making a build, you just need to have the certainty
    you did it well. Or that the one you are downloading is correct.

    Posting an official SHA-256 hash for a ROM would solve this.
