If there were enough interest we would probably consider it. As I said, we contributed to coreboot in the past because some companies making embedded boards wanted it. It's all about demand. It doesn't have to be a lot of demand, just enough to justify the investment. At the moment it's not there beyond a few vocal individuals as far as I know.
In any case, part of the reason you're seeing interest in coreboot drying up is directly because of your PSP -- there's no good reason to bother with coreboot when there's a signed, highly privileged, critical binary in the lowest levels of the system. Before we went to OpenPOWER (this is now many years ago) we tried reaching out a number of times over months to both AMD and the OEM we had been purchasing from -- AMD didn't respond, the OEM said, after directly asking AMD, that AMD wouldn't offer PSP-free SKUs. So here we are.Last edited by madscientist159; 07 November 2018, 05:42 PM.

These does not have PSP, i think 2 AM1 mobos are coreboot compatible... but as agd5f said AMD does not make mobos, so just find them somewhere
At least 2 out of 9/10 mobos works with cb, one from Asus one from Biostar But why only 2 , why not all!! Well, there is no PSP there, so why not all?
And then... you know what
One mobo gets cb support one year later after launch:
Phoronix, Linux Hardware Reviews, Linux hardware benchmarks, Linux server benchmarks, Linux benchmarking, Desktop Linux, Linux performance, Open Source graphics, Linux How To, Ubuntu benchmarks, Ubuntu hardware, Phoronix Test Suite
Second one only this year
Phoronix, Linux Hardware Reviews, Linux hardware benchmarks, Linux server benchmarks, Linux benchmarking, Desktop Linux, Linux performance, Open Source graphics, Linux How To, Ubuntu benchmarks, Ubuntu hardware, Phoronix Test Suite
So, It is not cos of PSP, as these does not have PSPLast edited by dungeon; 07 November 2018, 10:13 PM.

As a coreboot developer, I have no interest in working on a dead (both obsolete and with no newer libre-friendly CPUs coming down the line) platform. It is likely other developers feel similarly.Last edited by dungeon; 07 November 2018, 11:20 PM.

Well, It was not dead at the time, there you had it... there was 5 APUs for the platform, 10 mobos, no PSP, as cheap as possible, etc... but still nothing much happened
