    The Latest Open-Source AMD Firmware / Coreboot Happenings In Early 2021
    https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Open-Source-AMD-FW-2021
    ( FOSDEM - video , pdf )

    -----------------------------

    "Most of the outside visible work by AMD around any open-source firmware / Coreboot support has been on the Chromebook front, thanks to seeing AMD powered Chromebooks and Google mandating the use of Coreboot. Thus as noted before there has been AMD Picasso work for Coreboot while still sticking to the binary AGESA and not much in the way of motherboard coverage outside of Chromebook devices.

    Besides the Picasso work, there is support for AMD Cezanne and Majolica support under review for supporting the AMD Ryzen 5000 series mobile with Coreboot. Again, seemingly for upcoming Chromebook devices.

    One remark made during the presentation was that, "despite there are no @amd.com patches going upstream, team contributing to Coreboot is officially hired by AMD" and "congratulations to our OSF friends who joined AMD, we already seethings moving faster."

    Also exciting from 3MDEB, "There is a chance that AMD servers will also get [open-source firmware] support." As for that there is Project X as open-source Coreboot/Oreboot for AMD Zen. Prominent Coreboot developer Ron Minnich of Google has been working on that fully open-source Rust-based Oreboot support initially for AMD EPYC with the Rome reference board. But the hope is to ultimately support at least a more affordable developer board and see what happens but for now is a minimal implementation. Minnich's OSFC presentation from last year is embedded below for more details."
