AMD and Coreboot

Coreboot (formerly LinuxBIOS) is a free BIOS implementation; it offers escape from a long list of woes stemming from poorly-written BIOS's, but it has always suffered from limited hardware support. AMD has now announced support for Coreboot on a new set of processors, and more going forward: "Finally, AMD is now committed to support coreboot for all future products on the roadmap starting next with support for the upcoming 'Llano' APU. AMD has come to realize that coreboot is useful in a myriad of applications and markets, even beyond what was originally considered. Consequently, AMD plans to continue building its support of coreboot in both features and roadmap for the foreseeable future."
