This release contains the latest EDK2 + Coreboot firmware releases for the NitroPC 1. There are two hardware revisions, if your hardware is older than April 2024 you should use the nitropc firmware image, otherwise for newer devices please use nitropc-v2.

Updating

Generally we currently do not recommend updating your existing hardware, as there is no need - means there is no added functionality compared to the firmware already running on your device. Furthermore, there is no fallback mechanism, means if the firmware on your device is left in a bad state the device will most likely not boot anymore and can only be revived using an external flasher. Please be warned and only update if you know what you are doing. Updating via software from the "inside":

flashrom -p internal -w <firmware-image>

Components / Features

  • Coreboot v4.22
  • EDK2 (coreboot variant)
