Chrome OS developers at Google have landed improvements within Coreboot for Bay Trail given Chromebooks starting to ship with this low-power Intel hardware.

There's been many Bay Trail related Git commits being pushed to mainline Coreboot today, among them are support for S3 resume, updated EC support, support for Turbo Boost, and many other changes.

Google / Chrome OS developers that are among the main contributors to Coreboot have been working on Bay Trail support for months but now it looks like everything is coming together with the new Chromebooks starting to ship.
