[$] Replacing x86 firmware with Linux and Go

The IntelManagement Engine (ME), which is a separate processor and operatingsystem running outside of user control on most x86 systems, has long beenof concern to users who are security and privacy conscious. Google andothers have been working on ways to eliminate as much of that functionality as possible(while still being able to boot and run the system). Ronald Minnich fromGoogle came to Prague to talk about those efforts at the 2017 EmbeddedLinux Conference Europe.
