The Talos II workstation from raptor computers (using an IBM power9 processor) is entirely open source including now its network card but that’s a $10,000 computer You can make a Chromebook fully open source but it takes a little work

It sits on top of the UEFI and coordinates laptop hardware behaviors between the UEFI and the individual components. It controls things like “is lid sensor closed? Suspend”. Whereas the UEFI + OS actually handles the suspend.

What’s an EC?
It’s the embedded controller. It sits on top of the UEFI and coordinates laptop hardware behaviors between the UEFI and the individual components.
It controls things like “is lid sensor closed? Suspend”.
