It's a very different approach than Libreboot's approach; Libreboot provides
a more generalised design in its build system and infrastructure.
### Firmware-action
Website: <https://github.com/9elements/firmware-action>
Documentation: <https://9elements.github.io/firmware-action/>
**TODO: Link their FOSDEM 2025 talk when it becomes available on archives.**
Launched at the start of 2023, this project by 9elements provides
a source-based package manager similar conceptually to lbmk; it downloads,
patches and compiles various upstream sources, specifically coreboot,
Linux, Tianocore/edk2, u-root and others.
It currently does not provide specific build targets pre-configured, nor
binary releases, but it could theoretically be fashioned that way, and this
was asked of them at their FOSDEM 2025 talk, during questions and answers - and
much of what it's trying to do could inspire aspects of Libreboot's design in
the future.
Their build system design is interesting, and has many of the same sort of
features lbmk has, such as tracking of build artifacts / re-use of build
artifacts to speed up re-builds. I (Leah Rowe, Libreboot maintainer) learned
of Firmware-action because I attended their FOSDEM 2025 talk. It is listed on
this page, because their build system design *can* be used to provide a fully
fledged coreboot distribution, with binary releases.
The goal of the firmware-action project is to provide a fully reproducible
build environment, for integration with a CI/CD setup during coreboot
development. This build system has great potential to provide a useful
competitor versus, say, Heads or LinuxBoot projects. The design of this build
system could also be adapted to provide many different coreboot payloads,
even ones that it currently doesn't support, such as GNU GRUB.
