System76 granted Thunderbolt license to integrate into their spin of Coreboot!

Honestly, this is huge if they also do this to the AMD boards that have a header for it! Maybe we’ll see compatibility info from them with the different AICs.

I know @Wendell for sure would want to test this.

Thanks for the info. Your PSA’s are always quality.

It is a little unclear in the source whether this is allowing them to use the trademark(ie putting thunderbolt in advertising), access to specs and whatnot so they can write their own code, them getting binary blobs to put into coreboot, something else, or a combination thereof.
