If found this repo via https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/efi-lan-bios-intel-gopdriver-modules/33948/178?page=9, while Googling for "coreboot cwwk".

I have a similar Topton model, and wondering if you succeeded here?

@marcosscriven apologies; I didn't notice this issue sooner. Please see README at https://github.com/captainhook/cwwk-build_coreboot/tree/cwwk_i3-n305 for an incomplete list of outstanding todos to get this working. It is far from low effort and will only work with specific hardware combinations, not all i3-n305 units. Your best hope may be to wait for Protectli to come out with an i3-n305 unit or consider their recently released and reasonably priced V-series which come with I226-V 2.5G NICs for which they are working on coreboot.

Unfortunately this project is beyond my current skill level so I have stopped working on this. I also don't know how worthwhile this is since it is built on top of insecure and proprietary hardware/firmware (CPU, GPU, motherboard, etc.) Having an open source late-stage boot firmware such as coreboot or any other open source solution really does little to add to security. We do need platforms with secure hardware/firmware, verified boot, trusted execution environment, long-term firmware support, amongst much else... until then we are trusting designers and manufacturers of the hardware we are using.
