[coreboot] openbios in config?

[Zoran Stojsavljevic]

Hello David, Martin, Peter,

I would like to ask few quick questions about payload called OpenBIOS.
Since I know something about SeaBIOS, but nothing about OpenBIOS.

Quick questions:
[1] What is OpenBIOS? Something similar as SeaBIOS?
[2] If [1] is YES, what are differences, and when to use SeaBIOS, when
OpenBIOS payloads?
[3] Does OpenBIOS simulates CSM ON only (I expect yes, butt not CSM OFF)?
[4] Any net pointer/web pages I can read more on OpenBIOS?

Thank you,
Zoran
