Dear coreboot folks,
I’d be great, if you took a few minutes to upload the status of your board to the board status repository [1].
Please make sure, that in the coreboot repository `git describe -- dirty` doesn’t return a string with *dirty* in it. Often it is caused by changes in the directory `3rdparty`, which you can fix by running `make gitconfig` and `git sup`.
Please also make sure to configure at least a valid email address in git, so in case of questions you can be contacted.
Note, SeaBIOS master is currently broken, meaning that, there are huge delays if a TPM chip is not found [2]. So, please stay with 1.11.0 or 1.11.1 until the patches [3] are added to SeaBIOS’ master branch.
Thank you for your help,
Paul
PS: I am aware, that the board status script needs to be made more user friendly, but as long as nobody has time to improve it, it’s what we have.

This is futile, atm. With the current board-status script, it's too easy to upload status with a wrong version string. So we have to expect it to be wrong anyway.

Is SeaBIOS a requirement for board status now? And what difference would the delay in the payload make to the board status?

User-friendliness is not the only problem. My biggest concern is that the version information (and maybe more) are taken from the coreboot tree and not the running coreboot.
