Description

Do you own PC Engines hardware and want to continue receiving firmware updates and new features? Dasharo, an open-source firmware distribution, is committed to providing regular maintenance updates and new features such as UEFI compatibility, fwupd, Verified Boot, BIOS setup password, DMA protection, and more for PC Engines hardware.

I'm Founder of 3mdeb, a small open-source firmware consulting company based in Poland, has released PC Engines updates since February 2016. We have made 87 binary releases for all PC Engines hardware platforms, published over 30k test results, and created extensive documentation. Our firmware development effort extended the lifetime value of PC Engines hardware, enabling features such as CPU Core Performance Boost, DRAM Error Correction Code, and AMD Cryptographic Coprocessor.

In February 2023 we informed community that v4.17.0.3 was the last version of the firmware sponsored by PC Engines, and we cannot afford to continue the support on our own. We need your help to continue supporting PC Engines firmware through Dasharo.

We are exploring the possibility of implementing a yearly subscription model for firmware updates, as well as other options including this donation website.

Your support will determine the roadmap and speed of implementing new features and improvements for PC Engines hardware through Dasharo. Please help us continue to extend the lifetime value of PC Engines hardware by supporting open-source firmware development.
