<p>Short Article about coreboot.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Coreboot (formerly known as LinuxBIOS) is a free and open source BIOS/Firmware implementation intended to replace common proprietary BIOS firmwares.<br /> <br /> In contrast to conventional BIOS it tries to initialize only the minimum required hardware (like RAM, PCI, serial) and leave the rest to a payload (which usually re-configures these parts anyway)<br /> <br /> This payload can either be a conventional bootloader (like [[Grub2]], [[FILO]]), a Kernel/ELF executable (like e.g. the [[Linux Kernel]], [[memtest86]], [[plan9]] or [[etherboot]]) or some other Firmwares like [[UEFI]], [[Open Firmware]], [[OpenBios]] and [[SeaBios]].<br /> <br /> With this two-stage approach minimal boot times (&lt;= ~1 sec on x86) and a small memory footprint can be achieved.<br /> <br /> Currently over 230 Mainboards are supported and since a port from [[U-Boot]] coreboot know also supports the ARM architecture.<br /> <br /> <br /> One pretty famous subproject is the [[flashrom]] tool that is often used to upgrade conventional BIOS on Linux.<br /> <br /> == Ressources ==<br /> * [http://www.coreboot.org coreboot homepage] <br /> * [http://free-electrons.com/pub/video/2011/fosdem/fosdem2011-marek-fast-x86-boot.webm Really Fast x86 boot talk (video)] from Rudolf Marek at [http://archive.fosdem.org/2011/schedule/event/fast_x86_boot Fosdem 2011]</div>
