The benefit of both Canoeboot and Libreboot is that they provide a completely
automated build process and installation procedure, with well-tested builds
released on a regular basis that the user can simply install, with minimal

already pre-configured. In other words: Canoeboot and Libreboot make coreboot
extremely easy to use.
