Just ordered another CPU from them. Downside is that there isn't any modern AMD desktop platform that works with coreboot, which seems to be the only workable way to deactivate the Management Engine/Platform Security Processor after boot.

Was really considering to swap to Intel for that, but got a good deal on a Ryzen 9 that fits in my socket, so...

Is there anything from the last 10 years that runs coreboot?

Yeah, actually.

They want you to fork over some cash for the most current binaries, though.

You can of course just build it from source.

The most current AMD Boards that are supported are FM2+. I actually have an FM2+ processor flying around somewhere, an Athlon II X4 860K, but that thing uses a lot of power for not very much performance.

Oh is this a different project to libreboot?

Yeah, it's a different coreboot fork. They seem to be kinda focused on selling their implementation to corporate users, but if that finances open source development, I'm not gonna complain.

You are mixing coreboot up with libreboot

Also libreboot now ships some proprietary firmware so it is more compatible then it used to be.
