Clevo reseller wants get coreboot ported, ends up throwing a temper tantrum and banning Germany, Poland, Texas and AMD over unsatisfactory experience
Why do so few companies offer coreboot on laptops? After a 15-month journey to port our own, we discovered firsthand the challenges—and it wasn’t what we expected.
While the whole exchange must've sucked for them, I've found their reaction extremely amusing at times, especially the carpet banning for life of everyone within a country/state to the offending party. But hey, that'll definitely show AMD how to hire those coreboot developers
You're viewing a single thread.
Based on everything we learned about coreboot, we think you can port a laptop board in 40 hours or less. There are tools that you can use to dump most of the code you need. For instance, the GPIO can be done in 30 minutes, as opposed to the 30-50 hours that was quoted by several developers.
OK, so why didn't you just port it yourself in 40 hours? Apparently it's super easy.
