In this video, we dive deep into the differences between AMI BIOS and coreboot on Protectli Vault devices. We’ll break down the pros and cons of each, discussing security, customization options, and compatibility. 

AMI, a well-known vendor for BIOS firmware, offers a wide feature set and extensive hardware compatibility. However, its closed-source nature raises security concerns, as vulnerabilities can take longer to patch. However, coreboot is an open-source alternative that allows for greater transparency. Its community-driven security updates and smaller, more customizable codebase reduce the attack surface and improve security.

We dive into these differences and more, showing how Coreboot’s lightweight, purpose-built approach enhances security by minimizing unnecessary features. We also discuss how Protectli users can easily switch between AMI and Coreboot using Flashli.
