AMD Gizmosphere Support Comes To Coreboot

[runeks]

But does it work with Coreboot?

No that's true. If you want Coreboot support, AMD is your only option (for x86).

Again AMD is great on coreboot support. The board is sadly a bit pricy but let's not forget that all these development boards are.

I agree that it's too expensive. For $178 you can get an Intel NUC with 2 GB ram (double that of this board), and you can expand with more RAM later, if necessary.

Those are nice too, but as someone else mentioned earlier they are for a different audience. The NUCs you pointed at are just retail products, while Gizmosphere is a dev board complete with open schematics + gerber files, firmware sources, BOM, JTAG port, etc. It's more comparable to Intel's Minnowboard, only Gizmo is more powerful and also offers a true open source firmware solution.
