With Coreboot 4.8 there is support for 17 more motherboards, nearly all of which are Intel Sandybridge/Geminilake/Ivybridge/Broadwell motherboards, many of which are Google Chromebooks. But there is also support for two Open Compute Project platforms as well as the SiFive HiFive Unleashed RISC-V development board. Also new is the Librem 15 v2 support. There is also new SoC support and that includes the Qualcomm SDM845 and the SiFive FU540 RISC-V platform.
While there are 17 new supported motherboards/mainboards, 39 were dropped from this release including many older and unmaintained ports.
Other work in Coreboot 4.8 includes a rework of AMD Stoney Ridge / older AGESA platforms, S3 support should now be working for Stoney, Lenovo mainboards have the start of native graphics initialization support, improved TianoCore integration, and a variety of other changes.
More details on Coreboot 4.8 can be found via today's release notes.
