Published release of free bootable firmware Libreboot 26.01, which received the status of a stable release. The project develops a ready-made assembly of the Coreboot project, which provides a replacement for proprietary UEFI and BIOS firmware, responsible for initializing the CPU, memory, peripherals and other hardware components, with minimization of binary inserts.
Libreboot aims to create a system environment that allows you to do without proprietary software as much as possible, not only at the level of the operating system, but also the firmware that provides booting. Libreboot complements Coreboot with tools to simplify use by end users, creating a ready-made distribution that can be used by any user without special skills.
Compared to the previous stable release, support has been added for PCs and laptops HP Pro 3500, Topton XE2 N150, ThinkPad T580 and Dell Latitude E7240. Work is underway to support Google Chromebook devices through the integration of the coreboot distribution MrChromebox. CoreBoot is in sync with the repository as of mid-January. The components GRUB 2.14, U-Boot, SeaBIOS and flashprog are synchronized with the current code bases.
