[OLPC-devel] Secure BIOS on the OLPC

[James Cameron]

Goal: teach the kids how to be careful about provenance of updates,
phishing, and risks of bricking.

Method: use quite conventional BIOS update techniques.

Outcome: bricked units, a bit of work to unbrick, and some *very*
educated kids.  Won't do *that* again.  Think of it as evolution in
action.
