Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support for [HP EliteBook Folio 9470m](../docs/hardware/hp9470m.md) and
|
|
[HP EliteBook 2560p](../docs/hardware/hp2560p.md)
|
|
has now been merged into Libreboot. These are very nice Sandy/Ivy
|
|
Bridge laptops. Libreboot's build system now builds coreboot automatically
|
|
for them, making it simple to install libre firmware on these laptops and
|
|
take control of your own devices. Check out the links above for more details,
|
|
including installation details.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, a [long-standing bug](https://browse.libreboot.org/lbmk.git/plain/resources/grub/patches/0005-at-keyboard-timeout.patch?id=6ff0284a510e8d7a8721dd769ba6a773610c2cad)
|
|
with GRUB on coreboot now has a functional workaround
|
|
which is applied automatically by Libreboot.
|
|
|
|
More to come
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Leah Rowe has recently been on a buying spree, so more Sandy/Ivy Bridge and
|
|
Haswell EliteBooks are making their way to Libreboot soon. Libreboot's goal
|
|
is to eventually support everything coreboot does.
|
|
|
|
Do you want to help add new boards yourself? You totally could give it a try,
|
|
it's fun! The Libreboot [developers](https://libreboot.org/contact.html)
|
|
are very welcoming too.
