Firmware

Your Byte will support American Megatrends (AMI) Aptio V and coreboot firmware.

Comparing AMI Aptio V to coreboot; it is closed-source and has many features, including Secure Boot and capsule updates. coreboot is open-source and very lightweight, allowing faster boot time and less power consumption.
By default, the Intel ME is disabled on both coreboot and AMI.

You can can switch between AMI and coreboot firmware anytime, as often as you want.

Please note - the coreboot firmware for AMD processors is currently in development. It is likely to be ready by dispatch, but it might not be. Should that happen, we will send your Byte with AMI firmware, and you can install coreboot from the LVFS once it is available.
