Description : 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 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
: sever 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.
