Introduction
While Coreboot contains and uses nonfree software, it is the upstream for Libreboot. It also contains a wide variety of projects.
This means that we have to care about the upstream status of computers that can be supported by Libreboot. And we also need FSDG compliant ways to be able to use and package the tools that are developed in the Coreboot source tree.
Tools
FSDG Distribution | Package | Tools |
---|---|---|
Guix | ifdtool |
|
Guix | intelmetool |
|
Guix | me-cleaner |
|
Parabola | libreboot-utils |
|
PureOS | coreboot-utils |
|
PureOS | nvramtool |
|
Trisquel 10 (nabia) | nvramtool |

Computers status
This section is for computers that worked with either Coreboot or Libreboot at some point, and that can or could have been added to Libreboot mostly as-is.
Original vendors | Model(s) | Maintainer(s) | Chipset or microarchitecture family | Status |
---|---|---|---|---|
Acer |

Unmaintained | Intel G43 | Seem fine. Also has native GPU initialization. |

- ↑ 1.01.11.21.3 The test was done with an X60 without internal display, an external display, Coreboot 4.18 without nonfree microcode and Guix with linux-libre 6.0.10-gnu
- ↑ In Coreboot src/mainboard/intel/d510mo/Kconfig/Kconfig uses NORTHBRIDGE_INTEL_PINEVIEW, and "This generation of the Atom was codenamed Pineview, which is used in the Pine Trail platform. Intel's Pine Trail-M platform utilizes an Atom processor (codenamed Pineview-M) and Platform Controller Hub (codenamed Tiger Point)." from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pineview_(microprocessor)#Second_generation_cores
- ↑ Cannot be supported because only ATI GPUs are available. Reference: https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T60p /!\ Add blocker recommended for this link.

Adding newer computers in Coreboot and Libreboot
This section is for listing computers that were never supported by Coreboot or by Libreboot, but that may be added relatively easily.
The goal here is to list computers that are similar enough to already supported computers and that could be added without having to add new drivers for specific hardware (like adding support for ATI or Nvidia GPUs) and without getting rid of some existing nonfree software (like the SMU for AMD computers).
Original vendors | Model(s) | Chipset family | Comments |
