DESCRIPTION:Despite being a vital component of every computing stack\, syst
 em firmware has been mostly obscure and inaccessible to academic researche
 rs for several decades. With the advent of open-source firmware implementa
 tions for major platforms in the consumer and datacenter spaces\, new poss
 ibilities for researchers arise. Crucially\, most works so far focused on 
 security aspects\, as vulnerabilities and supply chain attacks at the firm
 ware level can have devastating implications for users and businesses alik
 e. In this talk\, I want to shed light on how other areas of systems resea
 rch can benefit from open-source firmware by sharing some of the the work-
 in-progress efforts being done at our operating systems research lab at Ka
 rlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). I will begin with insights and expe
 riences from our own homegrown port of coreboot to an off-the-shelf mainbo
 ard based on Intel's current-gen server platform. Then\, I will present ho
 w we leverage this implementation to explore and implement novel ideas aro
 und system suspend and Compute Express Link (CXL) that would be impossible
  to build without firmware modifications.
