The last time I looked at Coreboot it didn't have any configuration UI at all ("you have to set the options and recompile/reflash" was the answer I got), which basically makes it next to useless for a regular PC... and apparently it still doesn't. They've already done the hard work of RE'ing and all the hardware-specific stuff; how hard can it be to at least have a simple setup menu? Hopefully someone vibecodes (vibeports?) one in the next little while. (Incidentally this is also one of my gripes with the Intel Macs, wanting to put Linux on one but having zero configurability pre-OS is a huge pain. Meanwhile a standard PC BIOS with the equivalent hardware has plenty of options. Maybe I'll get around to (vibe)porting a regular BIOS to mine...) | ||

The menu part is the task of the payload. If you compile Coreboot with a payload you can get a menu no problem. EDK II, Seabios or grub payloads all support this. If you want to you may want to point your vibes for vibecoding towards making a libpayload universal menu for Coreboot , that way you at least conform with the architecture. | ||

I was an early user of the Z690-A from 2022 and while it was dull in features, the basics (Boot Menu) were already present. The configuration UI was TianoCore/EDK2: https://youtu.be/eSz2VPH64SE?t=343 https://docs.dasharo.com/dasharo-menu-docs/dasharo-system-fe... I do recall hearing the same thing than you but for those that used SeaBIOS and needed to recompile and reflash just to change boot order... | ||
