𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗯𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝘄𝘂𝗽𝗱 𝟮.𝟬.𝟭𝟯.

With 𝗳𝘄𝘂𝗽𝗱 𝟮.𝟬.𝟭𝟯, you can now update coreboot without losing your customised settings or boot entries!

Even better, updates now complete in about 𝟲𝟬 seconds, instead of the usual 3–10 minutes.

Fast, reliable, and zero reconfiguration.

Was thinking what to do with the ever growing #Linux #Firmware we have. Recently #Nvidia tossed in ~60MB of files required by #Nouveau drivers for newer cards. (Not sure how much needed). git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/k

So I went looking into firmware compression and enabled this in the #Kernel but in the end this did not really lower my footprint. So I ended up splitting the 570.x firmware files into a separate package leaving some symlinks in the nvidia directory. Now I at least have a choice.

git.kernel.orgnvidia: add GSP-RM version 570.144 firmware images - kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git - Repository of firmware blobs for use with the Linux kernel

Is anyone out there familiar with the whole BQ Cervantes e-reader ecosystem? The company went under a few years ago, but I have a device and would like to make some modifications to the screen resolution and frame buffer.
I know it's possible, since there was a "hacker" version of their OS, based on Debian 7 "wheezy". But my problem is the firmware(?).

I was hoping to find a former engineer who had worked at the company or something...I'm sure they're out there and the device still works - why not breath new life into it?

Firmware flaws in 240+ Gigabyte motherboards (2017–2021) could allow stealth malware to bypass Secure Boot and take full control. ⚠️🛡️

Fixes exist, but nearly half the boards are unsupported due to EOL status—leaving many users exposed. 💻❌
Check for updates or consider replacing hardware.

#Cyberangriff trifft Russland: Hersteller für militärische #Drohnenfirmware gehackt

"Hacker haben russische Entwickler einer #Spezialfirmware attackiert, die #DJI- #Drohnen kriegstüchtig macht – mit Folgen für Russlands #Militär.

Das attackierte Unternehmen ist demnach auf die Entwicklung von #Firmware spezialisiert, mit der handelsübliche DJI-Drohnen für #Kriegseinsätze in der Ukraine umfunktioniert werden."

Hey, #FediHire me! 🥳
I'm looking for a decent #job, preferably remote.
Any help is appreciated.

I bring a ton of skills and more than a decade of experience as a #software #engineer, have been working mostly on #web #applications and some #mobile over the years, and done lots of #systems programming and #firmware in my spare time projects. 🧑‍💻⚙️

My main languages are Rust and JavaScript/TypeScript.
I'm based in Germany.
