Libreboot 20221214 has been released. The libreboot project offers a free BIOS/UEFI firmware replacement that boots specific Intel/AMD x86 and ARM targets.

Libreboot 20221214 released!

The last Libreboot release, version 20220710, was released on 10 July in 2022. This new release, Libreboot 20221214, is released today on December 14th, 2022. This is intended to be a testing release.

This release is based on the osboot merger that happened last month. Many new boards are now supported!

Many ARM-based chromebooks have also been added, and they were added just before the osboot merge.

Both the osboot merge and ARM chromebooks (with u-boot payload) were mentioned in the  osboot/libreboot merge news post back in November 2022.

This is marked as a testing release, but most/all boards should be fairly stable. Prior to the osboot/libreboot merge, a separate osboot release was planned, but the merger was decided upon instead. This release is essentially what osboot would have been, had it gone for a separate release. New releases conform to osboot standard, for all boards.
