coreboot, formerly known as LinuxBIOS, [5] is a software project aimed at replacing proprietary firmware (BIOS or UEFI) found in most computers with a lightweight firmware designed to perform only the minimum number of tasks necessary to load and run a modern 32-bit or 64-bit operating system.
In May 2024, the coreboot project released coreboot version 24.05 which supported Framework Laptop 13 AMD Ryzen 7040. It was an experimental coreboot port being worked on by several AMD firmware engineers and stakeholders as an unofficial project. [131] [132]
Since summer 2017, new Librem laptops are shipped with coreboot as their standard BIOS, and updates are available for all older models. [27] In July 2020, Purism announced the Librem 14, the successor of the Librem 13. [28] The Librem 14 features a 10th generation Intel processor, and was scheduled to begin shipping in February 2021.
