Coreboot 4.17 Brings New Motherboards, AMD PSB, Doom Game Ported To Run As A Payload

Meh. "Does it run Doom?" is so 2000. We now ask if it runs Crysis.

If booting OS stops, you get Crysis loool.

What's CBFS?

The file system coreboot uses to structure flash space. It's a bit more complicated (because we also have a partitioning scheme these days), but https://review.coreboot.org/plugins/...ation/cbfs.txt offers details on the CBFS side of things.

What's CBFS? Got no relevant results from searching online, except for the article itself.

They have one on their wiki, though the wiki is in unmaintained limbo. https://coreboot.org/status/board-status.html

That's not the wiki page though, but the autogenerated board-status list. It has some caveats (doesn't expose information about board variants) but other than that it's pretty complete and current (latest board status report is from May 30)

But will it run crysis?

So when are they gonna add a "motherboard database" section to their site, like DD-WRT's router database? Their site is possible candidate for "most uninformative website" for sure.

The docs website was supposed to replace it, but few people have taken the time to move the information over or write guides for it. https://doc.coreboot.org/

I meant to port Wolfenstein at some point but I've been procrastinating for more than a year :'(

Essentially it is a showcase of what is possible with payload. Probably not usefull by itself but it proofs a point and is fairly easy to do.
