  • - GRUB: analyse how coreboot builds GRUB. Does it use it's own toolchain? Look into simplifying the building - of GRUB (and memtest86+) using coreboot's own toolchain (crossgcc) instead of distro toolchain. + Set up a routine (project-wise) for testing each machine with the latest kernel version. + See http://projects.mtjm.eu/work_packages/22 + and http://projects.mtjm.eu/work_packages/21
  • - .spd.hex files. These aren't blobs? Don't remove them? (in coreboot). See deblob script. - Categorize blobs and non-blobs more clearly, explaining what they are for - and why they are (or are not) blobs. + Improve the deblobbing scripts (see http://projects.mtjm.eu/work_packages/40) +

  • Make ich9gen/ich9deblob portable. They both rely extensively on bitfields, and they assume little-endian; for instance, mapping a little endian file directly to a struct, instead of serializing/deserializing. Re-factor both utilities and make them fully portable. + See http://projects.mtjm.eu/work_packages/18

  • Adapt linux-libre deblob scripts for use with coreboot. Libreboot is already deblobbed using its own script, but updating it is still a bit too manual. linux-libre's deblob scripts do an excellent job and (adapted) will make it much easier to maintain coreboot-libre.
