AMD future with coreboot?
Did a search recently and saw this:

https://www.phoronix.com/news/Coreboot-4.22-Released
And as for the AMD PSP "backdoor"
https://github.com/PSPReverse/PSPTool/issues/54
Although its hard to say if anything else could be lurking in amd processors that is a backdoor.
I wonder if framework laptops could be corebootable without much intervention if tha above were to pan out to be accurate.
Here is what the Dasharo coreboot team says about trying to get coreboot support on modern AMD chips - that they don't get enough help from AMD like they do from Intel:
>"Why there is no AMD mainboard supported in Dasharo ?
Unfortunately, from the perspective of a small open-source firmware vendor, it isn't easy to work with AMD. Despite our experience with AMD SoCs since 2016, we could not yet deliver Dasharo for a modern (Zen core-based) platform. We're trying hard, but Intel has a better ecosystem for open-source firmware development.
The reason for that state may be because AMD is in a rush, and they are understaffed in all areas compared to their success. We've been doing AMD open-source firmware development for 6+ years, including our yearly reports of open-source firmware status at FOSDEM, but the level of support for small volume firmware development companies is not yet at the level of competition.
AGESA distribution was a problem in the past, but we solved that, and Dasharo for AMD is possible. Because Dynamic Root of Trust can work without blob, we favor AMD, but we can't do anything without a partner who can sponsor the development effort. We are on the market of open-source firmware vendors, not hardware vendors."

I see... so its not as simple as those above links I showed, would have me to believe.
That is a shame.
