Coreboot

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload. With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly from firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI.

#Chrultrabook people, I have a #Chromebook and a #Chromebox that run #MrChromebox' #coreboot and I would like to update the firmware.

Currently I use a live USB with #LinuxMint XFCE, as it is easy to use and insecure enough for it to work.

The tools need access to read and write the firmware, which is quite deep.

I would like to enable that support on my main #NixOS system, at least sometimes, but don't know what is missing. Same on vanilla #Fedora btw, doesnt work there either.

The iomem=relaxed option is not enough, do you know what else is needed?

For NixOS and Chromebook support I found this amazing repo, but it is quite complex:
