So, your comment was not dead when I saw it. This reply was, but apparently now has been vouched for.
> What happened to Project X (supposedly coreboot++ for latest AMD CPUs)?
I don't recall what you're referring to specifically, maybe this was a thing before I started at Oxide. I do know that we deliberately decided to not go with coreboot. I believe the equivalent component would be phbl[1]. It boots illumos directly. Bryan gave a talk about how we boot[1][2] with more reasoning and context.

The general attitude is still "remove or work around every binary blob possible," but the PSP is unfortunately not able to be worked around.

We fully intend to do this, by the way. Just haven't yet. It'll come.
To see more on "Project X", see the Phoronix article on it. At the very least, it would be resourceful if the Oxide devs had a chat with the Project X devs who have since given up - learnings can be had and time can be saved. And yes, coreboot itself is now untennable, but is also kind of a slang for the a category of deblobbed software.
This seems to make no mention of Oxide at all. Perhaps you're connecting two different unrelated organizations together as Oxide appears to have never had any relation to it. I think you're just perhaps confused about what the situation is.
