[–] ValdikSS 7mo ago ↗ Well, "Traditional PC Boot" is also not like that on Intel, the booting is started from the chipset, from Intel ME. It boots the CPU.
[–] lproven 7mo ago ↗ The firmware in question being Microsoft's ThreadX. This was made FOSS a few years back but that doesn't help with the Pi.https://www.theregister.com/2023/11/28/microsoft_opens_sourc...
