# MrChromebox Firmware Utility Script ## Identification [[Libreboot|Libreboot]] is a distribution of Coreboot intended to provide boot firmware with free software payloads such as GRUB, SeaBIOS, or U-Boot; it was founded in December 2013 ([Libreboot project](https://libreboot.org/)). Coreboot itself was formerly called LinuxBIOS, not “Linuxboot” ([Coreboot developer history](https://www.coreboot.org/developers.html)). [[MrChromebox Firmware Utility Script|MrChromebox]] is a third-party Chromebook firmware resource. [[Gemini PDA|Gemini PDA]] and Sony Xperia devices have figured in mobile-Linux ports. [[DAR|DAR]] means Disk ARchive, a backup/archive tool—not a raw forensic-image format. ## Notebook evidence - [[Scanned_20260730-1719#PDF page 33 — Libreboot, Chromebook firmware resources, mobile Linux, and disk archives|PDF page 33: Libreboot, Chromebook firmware resources, mobile Linux, and disk archives]] — The author is identifying projects that remove vendor firmware or mobile-OS dependence while retaining recoverable archives. The page joins laptop firmware freedom, mobile Linux, and portable backup. ## Relationships and overlays The source places this note in a shared evidence cluster with [[DAR|DAR]] · [[Gemini PDA|Gemini PDA]] · [[Libreboot|Libreboot]]. Within the larger collection, this evidence extends [[Vendor-Agnostic Recovery|vendor-agnostic recovery]] and [[Continuity Architecture|continuity architecture]] by showing how software, hardware, identity, and pre-OS control depend on recoverable interfaces. ## Evidentiary status and open leads Separate current hardware support from historical support, and distinguish archival backup (DAR), forensic imaging (EWF), and bootable cloning (Clonezilla). ## Source - [[Scanned_20260730-1719|Scanned_20260730-1719]]
