WELCOME TO OPENBIOS

From OpenBIOS



Jump to navigation Jump to search

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 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, Sparc 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.

Open Firmware is found on many servers and workstations and there are several
commercial implementations from SUN, Firmworks, CodeGen, Apple, IBM and others.

In most cases, the Open Firmware implementations provided on this site rely on
an additional low-level firmware for hardware initialization, such as coreboot
or U-Boot.
