The UI is a payload issue, not a Coreboot issue - various vendors ship Coreboot based firmware with a configuration interface, usually based on the Tiano payload. But for my EC issues I simply took the approach of reverse engineering the EC firmware, binary patching it, flashing that back, and getting on with life. Skill issue.

There is no simply here.

You can’t list a litany of niche skills before implying that’s just life and it’s everyone fault they don’t have the time and knowledge to just, you know, casually reverse engineer and patch a binary.


It was a sarcastic joke ;)


Hard to tell in writing. Still not convinced.
