System76's open source firmware distribution built on coreboot and EDK2 for their laptops and desktops. It provides build tooling, board definitions, and documentation for flashing open firmware on supported hardware.
Use cases
- build open source firmware for a System76 laptop
- replace proprietary BIOS with coreboot on supported hardware
- customize UEFI firmware settings and boot behavior
- update firmware on System76 machines
- contribute board ports for new hardware
When to choose
- you own a System76 device and want open firmware
- you need a coreboot/EDK2 reference for x86 laptop firmware
- you want to audit or modify your machine's firmware
When to avoid
- your hardware is not a supported System76 model
- you need a turnkey firmware update utility rather than a build system
- you are not comfortable flashing firmware with brick risk
