Coreboot 24.05 Debuts with Enhanced 64-bit Support
Coreboot, an open-source firmware platform aimed at replacing proprietary firmware (BIOS or UEFI) found in most computers, has just announced the release of its latest update, Coreboot 24.05.
The development of the new version has been primarily focused on bolstering the System Management Mode (SMM). This includes significant enhancements to page table management, which have rendered these builds safe and stable for general use. Additionally, this release has marked a milestone in the stability of 64-bit Coreboot builds.
Furthermore, the update includes dual TPM driver support, allowing systems to handle multiple Trusted Platform Module (TPM) versions concurrently—an essential feature for enhancing hardware security.
