Re: [edk2-devel] [edk2] OCP : Olympus project's UEFI BIOS code support

["Kubacki, Michael A" <michael.a.kubacki@intel.com>]

Unfortunately not. That's why we're trying to add support for these other commercially
available systems such as the System 76 laptop and the UP Xtreme board.

The next product family that will likely get an open source board package added will be
Comet Lake (client) as tracked here: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2280

We very much would like to add back open source server platform code including support
for a commercially available board and we're evaluating a few options but there's nothing
definitive enough at the moment to give a target system or ETA.

Thanks,
Michael
