U-Boot is available as a coreboot payload, in Libreboot 20241206 and later,
on x86 boards; on ARM it has been available since late 2022 Libreboot releases.

Just stick your formatted USB stick in. U-Boot should detect it. Sometimes some
USB flash drives are broken, because many of them violate specifications and

For Libreboot 20241206, today's release, U-Boot is *also* provided as an
optional coreboot payload on x86 machines. This provides a sensible UEFI
implementation, useful for booting Linux/BSD systems more easily. More
information available on the [U-Boot x86 page](../docs/uboot/uboot-x86.md).
This means that you can have a UEFI boot environment, even on machines where
the original vendor firmware never supported it. For example, the ThinkPad X200
in the photo is running U-Boot, and booting a distro via U-Boot's UEFI
implementation; that machine could not originally do UEFI.
This page lists all changes made since the *Libreboot 20241008* release. Since
it's a stable release, there has been a more conservative focus on fixing bugs
and in general polishing, though several interesting features have been added,
