Coreboot 24.02 Released - Supporting Three New Motherboards

Succeeding last year's Coreboot 4.22 release is now a new release... Coreboot 24.02. This open-source system firmware project is now the latest to shift to a year-month versioning system. The newly-christened Coreboot 24.02 brings support for three new motherboards, a number of ACPI updates, and also pulls in the new GRUB 2.12 and other changes.

Coreboot 24.02 adds support for Google Chromebook Dita and Xol devices while dropping support for the defunct Google Primus4ES motherboard. Aside from the Chromebook activity, the Lenovo ThinkPad X230 eDP Mod (2K/FHD) is now supported by the upstream Coreboot code.

Coreboot 24.02 adds ACPI 6.4 Processor Properties Topology Tables (PPTT) support, support for ACPI's Watchdog Action Table (WDAT) that was introduced by Microsoft for describing the watchdog for the OS, and brings various other code updates. The bundled GRUB bootloader has also been updated from GRUB 2.06 to the recent GRUB 2.12 release. SeaBIOS 1.16.3 is also now available.
