Coreboot configuration

Problem

Proposal

One thing I'd really like to do, so every base is covered, is put some way of changing coreboot settings into switchboard, maybe next to the fwupd integration.

This was my "5-minute" approach: https://github.com/StarLabsLtd/coreboot-configurator

Technically, it's a relatively easy job, and it could be written in bash in a minute or so, to work with any coreboot setup. Something like:

Check if /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/bios_vendor == "coreboot" Get possible settings with nvramtool -a For each setting, get the possible options with nvramtool -e $setting Give these options to the use, if they change, write them with nvramtool -w $setting=$option

Prior Art

We have firmware updates here, and this feels at least tangential.
