Projects

coreboot

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, for example a Linux kernel, FILO, GRUB2 ... [More] , OpenBIOS, Open Firmware, SmartFirmware, GNUFI (UEFI), Etherboot, ADLO (for booting Windows 2000 and OpenBSD), Plan 9, or memtest86. [Less]

flashrom

flashrom is a utility for identifying, reading, writing, verifying and erasing flash chips. It's often used to flash BIOS/EFI/coreboot/firmware images.

OpenBIOS

Open Source Open Firmware implementation. The OpenBIOS project provides you with most free and open source Open Firmware implementations available. Here you find several implementations of IEEE 1275-1994 (Referred to as Open Firmware) compliant firmware. Among its features, Open Firmware ... [More] provides an instruction set independent device interface. This can be used to boot the operating system from expansion cards without native initialization code. It is Open Firmware's goal to work on all common platforms, like x86, AMD64, PowerPC, ARM and Mips. With its flexible and modular design, Open Firmware targets servers, workstations and embedded systems, where a sane and unified firmware is a crucial design goal and reduces porting efforts noticably.

OCS Inventory

Open Computer and Software Inventory Next Generation is an application designed to help a network or system administrator keep track of computer configuration and software installed on the network. It also allows deploying softwares, commands or files on Windows and Linux client computers. ... [More] Management server runs on Apache/MySQL/PHP/PERL server, under Linux or Windows NT based computers. [Less]

The LGPL'd PC BIOS

The goal of this project is to have a LGPL'd PC BIOS for Plex86, Bochs and Qemu. Also long term plan is making it safe for use on real hardware.

SeaBIOS

SeaBIOS (previously known as LegacyBIOS) is a free legacy BIOS implementation, which can also be used as coreboot payload.

buildrom

Buildrom makes building coreboot images real easy.

Kolibri-A

A fork of KolibriOS carefully optimized for last-generation AMD processors and chipsets, with a special focus on resource-hungry embedded applications.

bios_extract

bios_extract is a utility to extract submodules several different legacy bios images from ami, award, phoenix, etc.

VGABios

The goal of this project is to have a LGPL'd Video Bios for Plex86, Bochs and Qemu.
