Coreboot 25.06 Released With Xeon Emerald Rapids Support, Better Panther Lake

([Coreboot] 4 Hours Ago Coreboot 25.06)


Building off [1]Coreboot 25.03 is now the availability of Coreboot 25.06 for further enhancing this open-source system firmware project that continues to see new hardware improvements -- predominantly for Google Chromebook devices but also more Intel platforms and other hardware -- as well as new capabilities to further rival proprietary BIOS solutions.

Coreboot 25.06 brings an improved boot splash screen framework to open up new possibilities for better branding / vendor logo options and other styling enhancements. Bluetooth and WiFi wireless devices meanwhile now support Power Reduction Request (PRR) ACPI DSM functions for enhancing power management of Bluetooth/WiFi devices. Coreboot 25.06 is also now compatible with the GCC 15 compiler and has a variety of other code improvements.

On the hardware side, Coreboot 25.06 finally enables support for Intel Xeon 5th Generation "Emerald Rapids" server processors, which is a generation behind the current generation Xeon 6 Granite Rapids and Sierra Forest processors.

Also on the Intel side is Coreboot 25.06 improving support for next-generation Core Ultra Series 3 "Panther Lake" SoCs. Coreboot already had basic Panther Lake support in place but is now better off with the new 25.06 release.

Coreboot 25.06 also brings support for some new motherboards, but as is often the case is mostly new Google Chromebook targets. At least there is some new NovaCustom, Star Labs, and System76 hardware. Plus some old ASUS targets and from MiTAC Computing (TYAN).

phoronix

Well, he thought, since neither Aristotelian Logic nor the disciplines
of Science seemed to offer much hope, it's time to go beyond them...
Drawing a few deep even breaths, he entered a mental state practiced
only by Masters of the Universal Way of Zen. In it his mind floated freely,
able to rummage at will among the bits and pieces of data he had absorbed,
undistracted by any outside disturbances. Logical structures no longer
inhibited him. Pre-conceptions, prejudices, ordinary human standards vanished.
All things, those previously trivial as well as those once thought important,
became absolutely equal by acquiring an absolute value, revealing relationships
not evident to ordinary vision. Like beads strung on a string of their own
meaning, each thing pointed to its own common ground of existence, shared by
all. Finally, each began to melt into each, staying itself while becoming
all others. And Mind no longer contemplated Problem, but became Problem,
destroying Subject-Object by becoming them.
Time passed, unheeded.
Eventually, there was a tentative stirring, then a decisive one, and
Nakamura arose, a smile on his face and the light of laughter in his eyes.
