Description

Hi all, we reaching stage where beta testers of coreboot-based Dasharo Trustworthy computing will be crucial to further project progress. Why we want to replace [hostboot](https://github.com/open-power/hostboot) with [coreboot]()? Some reason were provided in excellent blog post by @krystian-hebel, which you can read [here](https://blog.3mdeb.com/2020/2020-12-31-coreboot_for_power/).

If you have Talos II, Talos II Lite or can use QEMU, and would like to help contribute feel free to join our [mailing list](https://newsletter.3mdeb.com/subscription/w2Y2G4Rrj), where we will post releases and communicate how to move forward. There is also OpenPOWER coreboot community call hold bi-weekly, which you can add to your calendar from [3mdeb events](https://3mdeb.com/events/) website. We would appreciate community support.
