coreboot 开源的BIOS固件

介绍

coreboot项目的前身是LinuxBIos,目的是为了提供一份可以替代驱动芯片中的专利固件软件，比如BIOS，目前的coreboot只包含相对较少的代码用来启动主板上的相应设备，然后进入coreboot驱动的核心，比如Etherboot等等。就像coreboot名字显示的一样，目前的工作专著于Linux内核，但是同样的技术也可以用来支持安装有windows或者安装GRUB启动管理器的电脑。
coreboot (formerly known as LinuxBIOS) is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) you can find in most of today's computers. It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes a so-called payload. 文档• A Hands-Off Introduction To LinuxBIOS (2006)
