No, it means that noone bothered to send in reports.

http://johnlewis.ie/ provides non-Google coreboot images for many Chromebooks. They claim having tested each of their binaries and from looking at the support forums, they have a fair share of users.

Also, the "Googleplex version" of coreboot can be found at https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/q/project:chromiu... (though it can be hard to pinpoint any given released firmware to a concrete commit there - they're working on it)



If noone bothered to send in reports, we cannot assume it is really working, can we? After all, without testing, software most certainly doesn't work.

Who is this John Lewis guy and why isn't his work the part of the official Coreboot images?


There are no official coreboot images.

John's images are kind of a coreboot distribution, as is libreboot (http://www.libreboot.org/)
