Ask HN: What shell are you using, if not *sh?
For scripting on my Linux systems, including scheduled utilities, I use ABS a lot. It has been enjoyable and straightforward.

That's cool. I'm curious how it differs from e.g. ABS...
It was enjoyable to use for a project recently.

Just about every Windows/Linux device vulnerable to new LogoFAIL firmware attack
coreboot just initializes the hardware, the logo is something that the payload displays: https://www.coreboot.org/Payloads
The most typically used payload is u-boot: https://docs.u-boot.org/en/latest/
u-boot supports specifying splash screens via "splashfile", but it seems only bmp and maybe some raw image format are supported: https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/blob/2f0282922b2c458eea7f85...
In other words, no support for png, which this exploit uses :). That doesn't mean that coreboot/u-boot aren't written in C though which is a language known for its vulnerabilities.

Welcome Debian riscv64
Probably a better example than WiFi would be the on-chip SDRAM controller. It's always somebody's IP and there's a blob in the boot firmware that's just binary register settings. Like so:

How does ARM support for Linux work? Why do they use custom kernels, OS instead of mainline and the typical distros?
Upstream u-boot also supports quite a lot of boards: https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/tree/master/arch/arm/dts

PinePhone Pro was announced last week. AMA.
The RK3399 LPDDR4 training code is open-source (albeit rather impenetrable to read) - implementations exist in coreboot, u-boot, and levinboot, so closed source firmware isn't required. I'm afraid I don't know answers to the other questions.

InkBox OS 1.5 (custom open-source OS for eReaders) is out!
And yes it does: https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/tree/v2013.07
https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot is the current git, but I'm unsure if the history goes back to 2013.

aarch64 won't let you use the gpio pins
I installed ALARM using the AArch64 installation according to the installation instruction on the ALARM website since that was pretty much what Manjaro used. However, if I put the Fan Shim on the pi 4, ALARM stays in U-Boot and doesn't proceed to the startup sequence. (Honestly, it would be nice to figure out how to establish GRUB so I can have a startup screen that gives me a couple of options when all hell breaks loose (knock on wood)).
