[Coreboot] Can I coreboot my laptop? Acer Aspire A515-47

posted 1 year ago

I’m quite interested in putting coreboot onto my laptop, if that’s possible. But first I want to know if it’s reliable as I’ll be using this laptop for school, and if I can even do it in the first place.

I have an Acer Aspire A515-47, AMD Ryzen 5 5625U. I don’t know any detailed information about the motherboard, nor northbridge or southbridge. I did try to find them but I couldn’t find anything online. I mention these as they were mentioned on the coreboot docs.

Also from the docs, I’ll be doing the internal method as my laptop already, obviously, runs Linux (Fedora Silverblue).

I know of exactly 1 AMD corebooot laptop. Starlabs Starfighter.

For coreboot you’re basically on Intel. As others mentioned, look up dasharo. They have added support for two modern MSI motherboards and Intel cpu models.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
