Yes, I know, they failed disabling ME and they stopped even trying. Purism has gone farther than anyone though possible just two years ago, and they are not saying ME is 100% removed: https://puri.sm/posts/purism-librem-laptops-completely-disable-intel-management-engine/ “Purism, in the long-term pursuit of liberating hardware at the lowest levels, still has more work to do. Removing the management engine entirely is the next step beyond just disabling it. Coreboot also includes another binary, the Intel FSP, a less worrisome but still important binary to liberate, incorporating a free vBIOS is another step Purism plans to take. The road to a completely free system on current Intel CPUs is not over, but the largest step of disabling the Management Engine is arguably the largest milestone to cross.” says Youness Alaoui, Hardware Enablement Developer at Purism. > Coreboot does load blobs for certain devices, so it shouldn't be any > surprise that coreboot supports librem. They did not lie about this. Alessandro _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
