Intel cant even get rid of binary blobs from their official open source Atom platform (minnowboard).
Intel UEFI bios is >100K lines of hand tuned spaghetti code that never saw version control system, thats straight from the mouth of Intel employee.
A Bios vendor takes that code, drops in a bunch of hardware init code from Intel (or AMD), adds thier own user interface, "csm16" old-school BIOS implementation, and value-adds like debugging and automation for factory test and provisioning.
In order to comprehend anything in the codebase, the first step is probably to get acquainted with the local vernacular. https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Acrony...
Interesting thread on exactly how free this laptop is: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/librem-15-freelibre-and-open-...
(Edit: This post seems a bit harsh. My view is that any movement towards a more free laptop is welcome, especially since things like Android are going rapidly in the opposite direction)
And ARM is worse, since a majority of the ARM ecosystem just acts like bootloaders and their gpu drivers don't even exist.
Do you need more than what he says there?
