[Matt Devo]

This script is fantastic. Great job!

Questions for Matt:

1-Are you the person who is compiling the code for the custom coreboot rom?

yes. I originally ported the code for the ChromeBox (device name: Panther) from Google's Chromium branch to the upstream/mainline branch, in order to leverage the improvements made there. Since that time, Panther has been successfully integrated into upstream coreboot, so anyone can download/compile it. I've also fixed several issues (eg, USB3 booting in SeaBIOS) and added requested features (eg, vmx support) as well which are all now part of the upstream branch.

2-If yes, Is the custom source code available somewhere?

http://www.coreboot.org
http://www.seabios.org
http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/deve...chromebook

note: above instructions are slightly out of date

https://github.com/MattDevo/coreboot
https://github.com/MattDevo/SeaBIOS

my codebase is slightly different than the upstream coreboot/SeaBIOS branches, and also includes build scripts etc specific to Panther. One could compile using my repos and the binary blobs extracted from a stock firmware file.

the setup script also extracts the MAC address / device serial # etc from the stock firmware and persists that when flashing the coreboot build, so that's something you would need to do manually as well (if desired)

Thank you!

you're welcome
