  "summary": "Tom's Hardware reports that 3mdeb, a firmware development company, has officially launched the first open-source UEFI firmware for AMD's AM5 platform, dubbed Dasharo v0.9.0. This firmware supports Zen 4 Phoenix APUs and MSI's Pro B850-P WiFi motherboard, and is built on Coreboot and AMD's openSIL firmware framework. The release includes 19 features aimed at making the open-source code compatible with the B850 board, such as UEFI-compatible boot interface, UEFI Secure Boot support, fTPM support, fast boot support, EFI system partition scanning, quiet boot and fast boot support, AMD CPU temperature reporting, and integrated SBOM. Dasharo marks the first development team to produce open-source firmware for AMD's mainstream consumer AM5 platform, representing a significant improvement over existing closed-source firmware solutions like AGESA.",
