How do you check if your computer can run coreboot? If you have a modern x86 mcchine, the biggest roadblock you may encounter is silicon RoT technology like Intel Boot Guard or AMD PSB. There are tools for checking Intel Boot Guard, but for a long time there hadn't been a publicly available tool for checking AMD PSB. That's why I wrote psb_status, a small script to do just that,.
This talk will feature a demo of psb_status on some machines, plans for further development and a slot for discussing silicon RoT technologies and how they impact feasibility of porting coreboot to new platforms.
