In June 2019, Coreboot began to use the NSA software Ghidra for its reverse engineering efforts on firmware-specific problems following the release of the suite as free and open source software. Code from Das U-Boot has been assimilated to enable support for processors based on the ARM instruction set. Other than the first three models, all Chromebooks run coreboot. CME Group, a cluster of futures exchanges, began supporting the coreboot project in 2009. Google partly sponsors the coreboot project. Main contributors include LANL, SiS, AMD, Coresystems and Linux Networx, Inc, as well as motherboard vendors MSI, Gigabyte and Tyan, which offer coreboot alongside their standard BIOS or provide specifications of the hardware interfaces for some of their motherboards. It is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2). The coreboot project began with the goal of creating a BIOS that would start fast and handle errors intelligently. One of the coreboot variants is Libreboot, a software distribution fully free of proprietary blobs, aimed at end users. As a result, coreboot is available only for a limited number of hardware platforms and motherboard models. Since coreboot initializes the bare hardware, it must be ported to every chipset and motherboard that it supports. IA-32, x86-64, ARMv7, ARMv8, MIPS, RISC-V, POWER8Ĭoreboot, formerly known as LinuxBIOS, is a software project aimed at replacing proprietary firmware ( BIOS or UEFI) found in most computers with a lightweight firmware designed to perform only the minimum number of tasks necessary to load and run a modern 32-bit or 64-bit operating system.
