Whoops. I thought because System 76 laptops ship with coreboot that they'd also ship with SeaBIOS, but that's wrong.

What's the cheapest easiest possible thing to flash to do a decent hardware test with?

Only on QEMU so far, though I do have a System76 laptop standing by ready to be improved. I can report back after that. Probably in a weekend or two.

Interesting. Have you tested also on real hardware and/or old hardware? It might work fine in QEMU, but it might fail on a real mainboard test.

Hello,

I've added animated GIF bootsplash support to SeaBIOS.


Is this only of interest to me, or should I submit a patch for consideration?

I adapted this public domain gif decoder https://github.com/lecram/gifdec

It is my understanding that the patents that were encumbering GIF use in open source have long since expired so there should not be regulatory blockers.

Thank you kindly.
