@ -19,6 +19,15 @@ project much like the old one. Libreboot used to be entirely blob-free; coreboot
|
|||
is otherwise free software, but requires blobs on some mainboards, so Libreboot
|
||||
previously could not support all mainboards from Coreboot.
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
fuss. You can think of it as a *coreboot distro*. Coreboot provides snapshot
|
||||
source code archives every few months, but that's it. Libreboot/Canoeboot gives
|
||||
you the ROM images pre-compiled, with source code, and with payloads
|
||||
already pre-configured. In other words: Canoeboot and Libreboot make coreboot
|
||||
extremely easy to use.
